Amazon and Walmart discount Acer, Lenovo Chromebooks for Black Friday

Add as a preferred source on Google

This year’s Black Friday deals are starting early, including Black Friday laptop deals from various retailers. If you’re looking to buy a laptop, there’s probably no better time than now from Amazon Black Friday deals and Walmart Black Friday deals, to make sure that you are able to secure stocks before the annual shopping holiday arrives.

If you’re on a budget, you should consider Chromebooks as alternatives to traditional laptops. Chromebooks are laptops that use Google’s Chrome OS instead of Microsoft’s Windows or Apple’s MacOS, with the Chrome browser reworked to serve as an operating system that depends on web-based apps. If that sounds like something you can work with, there are many Black Friday Chromebook deals to choose from across different price ranges. Here are some Chromebooks that are currently on sale in early Black Friday deals from Amazon and Walmart.

This update builds on a similar trick Google already pulled off inside the Gemini app, and now it is landing in Search itself. The initial rollout includes three launch partners, Instacart, Canva, and YouTube Music, with Google saying more app integrations are on the way.

Google Vids gets Gemini Omni

Google is bringing Gemini Omni and personal avatars to Google Vids, expanding the app’s AI-powered video creation tools for paid users. Gemini Omni can now generate and edit clips through natural language, while personal avatars let users appear in videos without recording themselves on camera.

Vids already offered Veo-powered video generation, AI presenters, screen recording, and tools for turning Slides presentations into narrated videos.
