With so many new Chromebooks available and many more on the horizon it’s tough to keep up with all the deals around the web. Every week we get emails from readers alerting us to sales and discounts on devices from retail and online outlets and I thought it a good idea to start sharing the best of what’s around. So, every Monday we will start posting the hottest deals on Chromebooks, Chrome OS devices and any other #madebygoogle products we stumble upon.
Acer Chromebook R11
Today’s first deal came to us via an email from our good friend BoB. He keeps me in the loop on a lot of Chromebook deals available from retail outlets like Best Buy. Right now Best Buy is offering the Acer Chrombook R11 on clearance for $237. That’s over $40 off the retail price and gets you a very capable device that has access to the Google Play Store and over 1 million Android Apps on the Stable channel without any tweaks or hacks.
The R11 is available with free two-day shipping or in-store pick up where applicable. The Acer comes equipped with 4GB RAM, Intel N3060 and 16GB of internal storage. Find all the details in the link below.

Acer Chromebook 14 (factory recertified)
Still one of my top picks of 2016, the all-aluminum Acer Chromebook 14 is a beautiful device that is able to handle the tasks of most moderate users. With a MacBook-esque feel, this Chromebook still impresses me every time I pick it up. Right now you can grab a refurbished model on Amazon for under $200.

Samsung Chromebook Plus
With the Samsung Pro on its way this month, the Samsung Chromebook Plus has been discounted for a couple weeks now. At $419, the Plus is a pretty hard deal to beat with all that it offers. It isn’t without its flaws but overall this is a great device. Grab one at Amazon. Sign up for Prime free for 30 days and get two-day shipping free.

Lenovo Chromebook 13
This deal has been going of for quite some time. Likely Lenovo is clearing shelves to make way for the next generation of Chrome devices. For $175 you can get a Celeron 3855U with 4GB of RAM. That’s a lot of computing power for very few dollars. I work regularly on a Celeron 3205U Acer 15 and it handles my workload like a champ. Snag one up while they last.
