If the laptop deals that you’re seeing are still beyond your budget, you may want to check out Chromebooks, which are generally more affordable alternatives to Windows-based machines. Powered by Chrome OS, these devices are capable of running fast and smooth despite low-end components because of their operating system’s web-based nature, so you don’t have to install much software that slows down laptops. While a few Chromebooks are pushing the envelope with top-tier specifications, most of the Chromebook deals that we’ve gathered here are on the cheaper side — if you see one that you like, proceed with the purchase immediately because there’s no telling how much time is remaining on any of them.

Best 2-in-1 Chromebook deals

For added versatility, you should think about going for a 2-in-1 Chromebook. A 2-in-1 device, according to our laptop buying guide, combines the utility of a laptop’s keyboard with the ease of use of a tablet’s touchscreen. Some are in the convertible category, which means their displays fold all the way back to transform from laptop to tablet, while some are in the detachable category, which means they have keyboards that also function as protection for their screens when folded. Either way, a 2-in-1 Chromebook gives you the ability to change modes depending on what you need at any given time. They’re generally more expensive than traditional Chromebooks, so take advantage of the discounts from the following 2-in-1 Chromebook deals.

  • Acer Chromebook Spin 311 —
  • HP Chromebook x360 —
  • Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 3i Chromebook —
  • Lenovo Chromebook Duet 3 —
  • Dell Chromebook 3110 2-in-1 —
  • Dell Latitude 5430 Chromebook 2-in-1 —

Best 17-inch laptop deals: Big savings on big screens

While many folks tend to focus on smaller and more portable laptops, others prefer something with a bigger screen. While they tend to be harder to find bags for, bigger screens give you more screen real estate to work with, and if you have eyesight issues, having a bigger screen can also work. Unfortunately, there aren't as many 17-inch screens out there as we would like, but we've still found a nice selection that you can pick from, with everything from the budget-friendly to the high-end.
Our Favorite 17-inch Laptop Deal

While there aren't a lot of budget-oriented 17-inch laptop deals, this one on HP's 17z is a solid choice if you want a Windows laptop that stays under $300. It comes with an AMD Athlon Gold 7220U, which is perfect for simple day-to-day tasks and productivity work, and the 8GB of RAM will give you a bit of leeway when it comes to apps and tabs. Storage is minimal, though, at only 128GB, so you might want to grab one of these external hard drive deals to help. As for the screen, it runs a 1600 x 900, but you can upgrade that to 1920 x 1080 for an extra $40, which is what we'd do if we only made one upgrade here. That said, if you can swing it, then upgrading to the AMD Ryzen 3 7320U for $80 is also another good upgrade that will give you a better quality of life.

One of the great things about 2-in-1 laptops is that you don't have to go for either a traditional tablet or a full-blown laptop, but you really can go for something a little bit in between. In fact, convertible laptops have become very powerful and lightweight in the past few years, with much more power under the hood than they used to. Luckily, there are many great options you can pick from, from cheap Chromebooks to more expensive models decked out with AMOLED screens. Either way, we've collected some of our favorite deals below to help save you the trouble of having to go looking, so be sure to check out our picks below.
