Amazon’s annual Prime Day is less than 48 hours away. While we still don’t know if we well see many Chromebooks among the thousands of deals, we do know that Amazon has announced a smorgasbord of sales on 4K televisions. We presume some of those will be Chromecast built-in devices and we’ll share here as soon as we know more.
In the meantime, we’ve found some pre-Prime Day deals on some of the best Chromebooks on the market and wanted to bring them to you for your shopping enjoyment.
Samsung Chromebook Pro & ASUS Flip C302
Likely the two most popular devices of 2017, the Samsung Chromebook Pro and the ASUS Flip C302 are both highly capable, Core m3 convertibles that handle Android Apps and moderate to heavy workloads with ease.
Both are on sale right now on Amazon and with Prime’s fast, free shipping you can have either one (or both) as soon as Tuesday. The Samsung is normally priced at $549 but is discounted to $519. The ASUS C302, regularly priced at $499 gets a $30 price cut as well to $469.
