Alright, Black Friday deals are all over the place, and for sure, this could be one of the best times to buy any Tech product. So like a treasure hunter, I have been scouting around for the best deals specifically for Chromebooks. Under $200, you have to tone down your expectations for the laptop though. Most options in this price range come with a 11 inch HD screen. So the display unfortunately isn’t so great as you’ll read from the reviews. In this price range, you’re typically getting a Chromebook with 4GB of RAM and 32GB eMMC storage running either an Intel Celeron or Mediatek single or dual-core processor. So it’s not heavy on Multitasking.
HP Chromebook 11a
ASUS 11.6” Chromebook C223
If you miss this deal, then consider the ASUS Chromebook CX1. It’s exactly the same in specs and features as the Chromebook C223, but more costly. It’s priced at $169.99. Only buy it if you can’t get the C223.
Lenovo IdeaPad 3 11 Chromebook
Another great budget Chromebook you should consider is the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 11 Chromebook . At just $149.99, this laptop is one of the best deals you find right now. Like other Chromebook’s in its price range, it features a 11.6” 1366×768 HD display and weighs 2.42 lbs. It’s powered by a more powerful Intel Celeron N4020 processor and comes with 4GB LPDDR4 RAM and 64GB eMMC storage, twice as much as its peers. This laptop also has a lot more ports than its counterparts; two USB-C ports, two USB-A, a MicroSD card reader and 3.5mm audio jack. Of all the most popular laptop brands, Lenovo tends to produce devices with the value for money. Call them the Xiaomi for personal computers.
Samsung Chromebook 4
Lenovo Chromebook Flex 3 11″ Laptop
If a 2-in-1 convertible Chromebook is what you’re looking for, then the Lenovo Chromebook Flex 3 11″ Laptop going for just $159.99 is the most budget convertible you get right now. Alright, let’s talk about convertibles for a second. These laptops usually support touch screen functionality and easily turn into tablet form-factor usually by flipping around by up to 360 degrees. This laptop comes with a 11.6-inch touchscreen display, is powered by MediaTek MT8173C processor, 4GB of RAM and 64GB eMMC storage. It’s the predecessor to the more recent and costly $328 Lenovo Chromebook Flex 5.

Looking for something with a bit of a bigger displayer, then this Lenovo Chromebook S330 14-inch HD Laptop is your choice. For just $160 for a 14” Chromebook, Lenovo once again proves it offers the best value for money. Typically Chromebooks this big are at least over $200, so consider this a time-limited Black Friday deal.

Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 10.1″ (refurbished)
If you don’t mind great Tech that’s refurbished, then you want to consider this Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 10.1″ priced at $182.99. This Chrome OS tablet PC is considered one of the best Chromebooks. It’s a tablet and can be used as a PC as well thanks to a detachable keyboard. I think I prefer this to convertible 2-in-1 models. This Chromebook has a full HD display, is powered by a Cortex A13MediaTek Helio P60T 8-core 2GHz processor, 4 GB DDR4 and has 64GB SSD storage. If you’re thinking of buying an Android tablet, I’ll have to stop you right on your tracks. This is a great option and a good alternative to Apple’s entry-level iPads. If you insist on a new version, it’ll set you back $299.

Lenovo compromised with the screen opting for an HD (1366×768) anti-glare display instead of going Full HD. At $178, you can’t expect much from lthis Chromebook.
HP Chromebook 14-inch HD Laptop
Like the Lenovo Chromebook S330, this HP Chromebook (14a-na0010nr) also has a bigger 14 inch anti-glare display. Unfortunately, like the Lenovo, it’s not a Full HD display as it has a maximum resolution of just 1366 x 768 pixels(HD). It’s powered by Intel Celeron N4000 instead of the MediaTek MT8173C processor. It has the standard 4 GB LPDDR4-2400 SDRAM and 32GB of eMMC storage. This Chromebook is currently going for $199 which is definitely Black Friday deal.
