Asus Chromebook C223 11.6": was $249 now $126 @ Amazon
A hyper-affordable Chromebook, Asus' 11.6-inch model is currently more than $100 off. But this Chromebook gives you something you won't expect from a laptop this cheap: full-functionality USB-C ports. Yes, the reversible power-charging data-transfer port comes standard on this model.
Lenovo Chromebook Flex 3 11": was $319 now $159
Yes, a 2-in-1 Chromebook with a touchscreen for less than $160! We thought it was priced well at $189, then it dropped another $30 to $159! Oh, and its 64GB storage is twice as much as what we expect from Chromebook deals this low during Black Friday. We're shocked to see this deal hasn't disappeared yet, so grab it now before it's gone.
Lenovo IdeaPad 3 11.6": was $219 now $149 @ Amazon
If the 2-in-1 Lenovo Chromebook Flex is sold out, you can get the non-convertible version for the same price. Rated for 10 hours of battery life, with dual USB Type-C ports, and dual USB Type-A plus a microSD reader.
Acer Chromebook Spin 311 11.6" was $289 now $227 @ Amazon
One of the more popular mid-range Chromebooks, Acer's Chromebook Spin 311 is at a massive discount here. This convertible is rated for up to 10 hours of battery life. It also features a touchscreen, a necessity for laptops with its 360-degree hinge.
12-inch Chromebooks
ASUS Chromebook Flip CM3: was $329 now $272 @ Amazon
A deal that's exclusive to today (the actual Black Friday), this $70-off discount on this 2-in-1 Chromebook is worth checking out. We like its screen for its 3:2 aspect ratio, which means less scrolling when viewing web pages and documents, as you can see more at once.
Samsung Chromebook Plus V2: was $307 now $275 @ Amazon
This excellently-designed 2-in-1, which is less than 3 pounds, is now $33 off at $274. Oh, and it packs a 13MP camera for good photos of the world around you.
13-inch Chromebooks
Lenovo Chromebook Flex 5 2-in-1: was $429 now $329 @ Amazon
The Chromebook Flex 5 breaks the normal Chromebook rules with relatively thin bezels and a 10th Gen Intel Core i3-10110U CPU. Its 360-degree hinge and touchscreen will help you make the most of Android app support.
ThinkPad C13 Yoga Chromebook: was $819 now $499 @ Lenovo
Yes, this isn't as cheap as some of the other Chromebooks, but it's a huge discount on a very good Chromebook. Not only does it have an aluminum chassis and the speedy performance of an 2.60 GHz Ryzen 3 CPU, 4GB of RAM and 128GB PCIe SSD, but it's also got super-thin bezels. Think of it as the Chromebook for business class.
Samsung Galaxy Chromebook: was $999 now $599 @ Amazon
Looking at this super-thin Samsung Galaxy Chromebook, most people probably wouldn't think it's a Chromebook until they turned it on. Its gorgeous 4K AMOLED display is better than what you find in most Chromebooks and its Core i5 processor is also far faster.
Google Pixelbook Go: was $849 now $722 @ Amazon
Another exception to the Chromebook rules, the Pixelbook Go is the kind of ultraportable laptop that you expect from the likes of Apple. This deal isn't huge, but if you want one of the best Chromebooks ever at a discount? We'd nudge you this way. Its backlight keyboard is super quiet and comfortable, and its Intel Core i5 CPU means you can open all the tabs and Android apps you want.
14-inch Chromebooks
ASUS Chromebook Flip C433: was $479 now $329 @ Amazon
Asus' 2-in-1 Chromebooks are favorites, and this one should enable some pretty great productivity. Equipped with 8GB of RAM and a 64GB hard drive, this Chromebook deal makes it easier to level-up your purchase. Of course, it packs a touchscreen for optimal Android app usage.
Asus Chromebook Flip C434 2-In-1: was $570 now $468 at Amazon
Amazon's slashing roughly $100 off this mightily capable Chromebook. Its Intel Core m3 processor will help you more than the average Celeron or MediaTek, and its all-metal body is not something we expect to find below $500 in a full laptop.
15-inch Chromebooks
Samsung Chromebook 4+ 15.6": was $319 now $220 @ Amazon
The Samsung Chromebook 4 delivers a big 15.6-inch full HD display along with a Celeron processor, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. Plus, it's rated for 10.5 hours of battery life and has Google Assistant built in.
2-in-1 Chromebooks
Samsung Galaxy Chromebook: was $999 now $599 @ Best Buy
Best Buy has a good deal on the original Samsung Galaxy Chromebook that knocks $400 off the price. That's a solid discount on this eye-catching 2-in-1, which sports a gorgeous 13.3-inch 4K touchscreen and a packed-in stylus. With a 10th Gen Core i5 CPU, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD it has more than enough power to handle anything you can do with a Chromebook, though in our review we faulted it for its 6-hour battery life.
Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2: was $549 now $399 @ Best Buy
Best Buy has knocked $150 off the price of this model of one of our favorite Chromebooks. For a limited time you can get this Galaxy Chromebook 2 packing an Intel Celeron processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of eMMC storage for just $399. That's not a lot of power, but web browsing and light productivity work will look great on the vibrant 13.3-inch QLED touchscreen, plus it lasts longer on a full battery than its 4K-equipped predecessor.
Lenovo Chromebook Duet: was $279 now $229 @ Walmart
This detachable 2-in-1 is popular with smaller-handed users, as its 10.1-inch screen makes for a keyboard that's a little scrunched. Either way, this is the Chromebook equivalent of the Surface Go — but better — as you get both tablet and keyboard for under $250.
Should I wait till Black Friday to buy a Chromebook?
Year in and year out, Black Friday always brings the goods for Chromebooks. Unfortunately, you may need a Chromebook before Thanksgiving and so you have to balance out your immediate needs vs the want to save up front. We typically see sales of around $120 or so, but as high as $300. Inventory, as we've said above, tends to g quickly, which makes this a time to buy before things sell out.
