As a student, you don’t need to spend a fortune to benefit from a great quality Chromebook. Right now, you can snap up the Acer Chromebook 314 for only $200 at Staples as part of its Back to School sale. That’s a saving of $50 on the usual price. It’s a fantastic option whether you’re learning from home or heading to the classroom or your campus to study. Be quick though — stock is low and you’ll need to act fast to avoid missing out.

The Acer Chromebook 314 offers everything you could need from a budget Chromebook. It has a 14-inch screen so you can easily see what you’re doing, an Intel Celeron N4000 processor, 4GB of memory, and 64GB of eMMC storage in case you need to store a few files physically rather than on the cloud.

Designed with portability in mind, the Acer Chromebook 314 has a great battery life of about 12 hours so you can easily use it all day on campus without having to worry about finding a power socket. It has a thin bezel and it’s fairly lightweight at about 3 pounds so you won’t have any trouble finding room for it in your bag. An anti-glare display ensures that you can use it wherever you are, even if you’re sitting in a park rather than hunkered down in the college library. It’s also super quiet thanks to a fanless design which means you won’t bother your roommate or anyone near you at the library.

The Acer Chromebook 314 offers Google Assistant support so you can easily use your voice to be more productive, right down to quickly sending files, listening to music, or even controlling smart home devices. Simply put, the Acer Chromebook 314 is an all-round convenient device for this price point. For the student on a tight budget, you can’t go wrong with a Chromebook and this is a well-priced option.

Ordinarily priced at $250, you can snap up the Acer Chromebook 314 for only $200 right now. That’s a 20% saving on the usual price. Even better, Staples is offering free next-day delivery so you can be ready for the new school year in no time.

The good thing about the deals is that there are many of them throughout the year. One of them being Black Friday when many Chromebook deals are offered by retailers for you to take advantage of. That’s why one shouldn’t worry much if they miss a deal.

Best dishwasher deals: cheapest Samsung, LG, GE and KitchenAid sales

With water resources becoming overwhelmed in summer and just generally becoming scarcer over the years, being able to save on water not only helps the environment but also helps lower your bill. One of the best ways to do so is with a dishwasher because they are much more efficient than we could be over the sink, running the water and washing dishes quickly. While you may think that only the best dishwashers achieve that level of efficiency, the truth is that even budget-oriented dishwashers can save you a considerable amount of water.

Of course, there is a huge variety when it comes to dishwashers, and it can vary much depend on your needs and what sort of new appliance you opt for. For example, if you don't have a lot of under-the-counter space to put a dishwasher, you can grab a countertop dishwasher, which is very handy. Alternatively, maybe you want something that can connect to your phone and let you schedule the dishwasher or notify you when it's done so that you aren't checking on it constantly. You can check out full appliance package deals if you need to furnish your whole house with washer and dryer deals and refrigerator deals. There are many options, which is why we've dredged through all the big retailers to find some of our favorite dishwasher deals so that you don't have to.
