Though we’ve fully emerged from the holidays, it’s nice to know Chromebook deals don’t seem to be going anywhere. While perhaps not quite as prolific as they were a month or so ago, there are still great deals to be found if you are in the market for a great Chromebook at a great price.
Today, one of the newer Chromebook Plus models is seeing one of its largest discounts as HP has their 15.6-inch Chromebook Plus discounted a full $200 at Best Buy, bringing it down to just $299. At any point when a solid Chromebook dips down to just three hundred dollars, our ears absolutely perk up.
With this device, you are getting a 1080p 15.6-inch screen, a keyboard with numeric keypad, a 1080p webcam, fast internals (Intel Core i3-N305, 8GB or RAM, 128GB storage), and a solid build quality. No, the larger HP Chromebook Plus isn’t going to blow you away with features that belong on a $1000 laptop, but it really doesn’t need to.
The promise of Chromebook Plus holds true with this one as it delivers a fantastic overall experience and does so on a great budget. While the $499 MSRP might be a tad bit steep for a device like this, $299 is an absolute steal. The fact that you can get a great, all-around ChromeOS experience for this little money is pretty crazy, and if you are in the market, it’s one we highly recommend.
