]]>Considering the Intel N4500 CPU and 128GB of storage space under the hood, you’re getting some strong value for money here – something that can’t be taken for granted from cheap laptops. With Prime Day laptop deals firmly on the horizon, though, we’re already seeing retailers offering larger and larger discounts on budget machines. Still, other stores can’t quite keep up with this particular offer. Dell’s cheapest laptop still sits at $249.99 (opens in new tab), for example, and holds a weaker processor.
If you’re after something a little more powerful, though, we’d recommend checking out this $120 discount on a 14-inch HP instead. You’re getting a solid mid-range spec for just $309.99 (opens in new tab) with this offer (was $429.99), including 8GB RAM and a Ryzen 3 processor.
You’ll find more information about this offer just below, and plenty more cheap laptop deals further down the page.
Asus 14-inch laptop | $349.99 $149.99 at Best Buy (opens in new tab)
Save $200 – If you’re after a budget everyday laptop for browsing the web, streaming, and catching up on email, look no further than this $200 discount on the 14-inch Asus. You’re getting an Intel N4500 processor under the hood, with 4GB RAM, and 128GB of storage – great specs for this bargain price point.

HP 14-inch laptop | $249.99 $169.99 at Best Buy (opens in new tab)
Save $80 – It’s a smaller saving, but you’re still picking up this 14-inch HP for well under $200 in Best Buy’s latest laptop deals. If the above offer is still available we’d recommend opting for Acer, as this model only has 64GB of storage, but it’s still an excellent second option at a price we rarely see outside of major sales events.

Acer Chromebook Spin 514 14-inch 2-in-1 Chromebook | $499 $249 at Best Buy (opens in new tab)
Save $250 – If you’re after something a little more flexible, Best Buy can also save you $250 on this Acer Chromebook Spin 514. That means you’re getting a 2-in-1 convertible laptop for just under $250 – and considering there’s a Ryzen 3 processor under the hood that’s a solid offer. You are, however, still picking up an entry-level 4GB RAM / 64GB memory and storage configuration.

HP 14-inch laptop | $429.99 $309.99 at Best Buy (opens in new tab)
Save $120 – This HP laptop offers a spec that sits just at the top of the entry-level band; with 8GB RAM and a speedy 128GB SSD (rather than the slower eMMC storage offered in cheaper models). You’re saving $120 here and picking up a machine that will be able to handle far more multi-tasking and demanding programs for a great price.

]]>This is especially true if you’re looking to replace an older laptop, you only need something simple for work tasks, browsing the net, watching movies and so on. Another plus side is getting away from all those Windows updates that nowadays cause more problems than they fix.
Chromebooks don’t run on Windows, running instead on a similar operating system to Android phones, but reworked for a laptop experience. With loads of free apps available in the Google suite (Google Docs, Googles sheets etc), there’s really no need to spend extra on yet another Windows laptop and overpriced Microsoft Office license.
Because they offer a leaner experience, you’ll find you don’t need an awful lot of RAM, fast processors or expansive storage space to cover the basics and have a few tabs or apps running at once. Don’t get us wrong, budgets ones aren’t for gaming, for that we’d advise you check out our roundup of the best cheap gaming laptop deals (opens in new tab), or for the finest options, maybe our best gaming laptop (opens in new tab) guide.
One of the biggest selling points for Chromebooks though is how damn cheap some of them are. And when it comes to going cheap on a laptop, we often find that cheaper Chromebooks perform a lot better than dirt-cheap Windows laptops as Microsoft’s bloated operating system is too demanding for low-specced machines.
So when we spotted a Chromebook running for just $69.99 (opens in new tab) at Walmart today (a refurbished Dell model), we just had to tell you about it. But in all honesty, that one might be more of a temporary solution, or for those of you who won’t need it often. Instead, we’d stump up the cash for the larger unused Asus Chromebook which has had $100 knocked off today bringing the price down to a frankly irresistible $179 (opens in new tab). Let’s dive into the specs on each below.
Today’s best Chromebook deals
Dell 11.6-inch Chromebook (refurbished) | $69.99 at Walmart (opens in new tab)
Ok, it’s not the prettiest Chromebook at the ball, but Dell makes reliable hardware, especially for office laptops. It’s a refurb though, so it’s been used before, but also reset and cleaned up by professionals. 4GB of RAM is plenty for light tasks and many more expensive models only come with 2GB. 16GB of storage isn’t ideal though and some may find the 11.6-inch display a tad small and the same for the cramped keyboard. But if you’d look at our next highlighted deal…

Asus 14-inch Chromebook C423NA | $179 at Walmart (opens in new tab)
This is more like it, a much more robust Chromebook experience from every angle and $100 off today. 14-inch models are, for us, the perfect size for a portable workstation. The HD display with thin bezels is easy on the eye and the wider keyboard is much nicer to type on than smaller models. You get 64GB of storage, which is loads for a Chromebook too. 4GB of RAM and a Dual-Core processor are a nice pairing for your standard work/browsing/streaming tasks too.
And yes, low specced Chromebooks like this are ideal for checking out the new Google Stadia (opens in new tab) game streaming service.
