It’s easy to find a good Chromebook on a budget. After all, the whole idea behind Chrome OS devices is that they serve as a cheaper alternative to Windows laptops. We’ve rounded up some of the best Chromebook deals on the internet so you won’t have to search too hard for a good price.

Scroll on for a whole host of discounts on Chromebooks from all of the main manufacturers.

Featured deal: Save $100 on the Galaxy Chromebook 2

The first Galaxy Chromebook was top of the line, but at $1,000, it was more than most were willing to pay for a Chrome OS laptop. Samsung found a better balance with the Galaxy Chromebook 2, earning it an Android Authority CES 2021 Top Pick Award for Best Chromebook. It’s now seeing its first price drop since it launched, giving you the chance to pick it up from just $449.99 ($100 off).

Samsung managed to lower the asking price for the latest Galaxy Chromebook by dropping the processing down a notch. There are two variations to choose from and both are subject to the $100 discount. The more affordable model offers an Intel Celeron 5205U processor with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, which is on offer for $449.99 ($100 off). The other option has an Intel Core i3-10110U processor with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage and is available for $599.99 ($100 off).
