UPDATE 12/2/25: I say it at the end of a lot of deal posts, and this time is was timely – this particular deal didn’t last. Still, it’s $150 off right now and at just $429, the deal is still very, very good! Original post continues below…
When the new Lenovo Chromebook Plus 2-in-1 first arrived at Best Buy a few weeks ago, I liked the specs but felt the $579 price tag was a bit steep. Recently, we saw it drop to $449, which felt like a much better value. But today, Best Buy has absolutely crushed that price, knocking a massive $200 off to bring this brand-new convertible down to a staggering $379.
For a device that just hit the market, this is an incredible discount and easily the lowest price we have seen yet on a Chromebook Plus I’d wager will be pretty fantastic to use!
A lot of Chromebook for under $400
We are still waiting to get a review unit in hand, but looking at the spec sheet, getting this level of hardware for $379 is nothing short of impressive. You aren’t getting a bargain-bin processor or a dim screen here; you’re getting the full Chromebook Plus experience. Here is what you get for that $379 price tag:
- Processor: Intel Core 3 N355
- RAM: 8GB LPDDR5
- Storage: 128GB
- Display: 14-inch 1920×1200 IPS touchscreen (300 nits)
- Cameras: 1080p webcam + a physical privacy shutter
- Security: Fingerprint reader
- Inputs: Backlit keyboard
- Connectivity: Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.3
- Ports: 2x USB-C, 2x USB-A, HDMI port, and a microSD card reader
Finding a convertible Chromebook with a Core 3 processor, a fingerprint scanner, and a 16:10 touchscreen for under $400 is rare. If the build quality is anything close to Lenovo’s recent standards (like the excellent Chromebook Plus 14), this is likely the best value laptop you can buy right now.
If you have been looking for a versatile, powerful Chromebook that doesn’t break the bank, this deal is hard to beat. We don’t know how long Best Buy will keep this price active, so grab it while you can.
