Today there are some special Chromebook deals. Most Chromebooks that retail at $600, go on sale pretty often, but I’ve never seen them dip below $400! Currently, there is a huge Chromebook sale and an easy way to save $50 more (on top of the sale price). In fact, there is a way to get the Chromebook Plus for as low as $299! (Links below)
Here are some important details:
- Currently, Best Buy allows you to sign up for student deals without any student verification. This means that you don’t need a student email, a student ID, or anything to verify!
- If you want to sign up for student deals, simply click here, which will take you to the student deals section to sign up.
- From now until August 3rd, you can get $50 off select Chromebooks with student deals.
- This $50 offer can be combined with some of the best Chromebook sales I’ve ever seen! This means that, if you sign up for student deals, you can get a Chromebook Plus for as little as $299.
Here’s a roundup of all of the deals:
Samsung Chromebook Plus V2 (4GB RAM, 32GB Storage, Intel Celeron Processor)
Retail Price: $449
Sale Price: $349
Price with Student Deals: $299
Pros:
- Comes with a stylus that conveniently is stored in the Chromebook itself.
- The screen is bright and vibrant.
- Best Chromebook for under $300 that I have ever seen.
- Smaller than the Dell Inspiron 14″ so it should be more portable than some other Chromebooks on the market.
Cons:
- The battery life is so-so. If you play an HD video and do nothing else on this Chromebook, it should last about 7 hours on one charge. If you are doing a lot of multi-tasking and other things, you can probably expect around 4-5 hours.
- The keyboard has a weird feel to it, and key travel is slightly less than some other competitors. Personally, I love this keyboard, but some people do not.
