It also comes with an HP TrueVision HD webcam and a dual array microphone to enable video meetings.

The main advantage of Chromebooks over traditional laptop, in addition to the generally lower price, is their quick startup and snappy performance because Chrome OS utilizes web-based apps.

As a critic for Digital Trends, a large part of my job is to watch countless TV shows every year. It's a big reason why friends and family ask me what new or classic shows to watch. Is that latest Netflix show worth a binge? Is it worth going back and watching that classic sitcom from the '90s?

With the holiday season now upon us, it's even more important to know what TV shows you should devote your time and dollars to and which ones you shouldn't. This year, Best Buy has some terrific Black Friday deals on new and classic TV shows like Friends and The Sopranos.
