It’s that time again. We’ve rounded up the best of the best from around the web to share with our favorite people, YOU! Here are some great deals on a few Chromebooks that might be right down your alley. We have a couple convertibles, some high-end devices on the cheap and even the Samsung Chromebook Plus has dropped back down in price. Here’s the low down.

We found a couple of insane deals on the Core M7 HP Chromebook 13 G1. If you want some serious horsepower one of these bad boys will do the trick.

HP Chromebook 13 G1

The first deal comes from the good folks over at Woot. They are selling the Core M7 model equipped with 8GB RAM and 32GB of storage for $623. If you want to step it up another notch, OE USA has you covered. For just $660 you can move up to 16GB RAM. Both of these devices retail for over $1000. Not sure why HP is fire-selling these puppies but my hope is that they’re making room for what’s next. Grab one from Amazon before they’re gone.

FYI: The Woot listing is showing refurbished in one location and new in another. I contacted their customer service and they reassured me it is, in fact, new.

Acer Chromebook 14

Surprise, surprise. The Acer Chromebook 14 is still available for under $200. The refurbished Silver model with 4GB RAM and 32GB storage will run you $185 directly from Acer Recertified.

Samsung Chromebook Plus

The original price of the Samsung Chromebook Plus was $449 dollars. It has fluctuated up and down since its release earlier this year. A lot of people have speculated that the price reduction is due to sluggish sales. I suspect quite the opposite. I believe the Plus has been a very strong performer for Samsung.

The price for the Plus has dropped back down to $419 and appears to be settling there across most retail sites. If you get one, don’t forget to claim your $20 in Play Store Credit.

    go to swappa.com for the chromebook plus. People are really trying to dump these. Makes me think that the plus is overrated.

      @Andrew : I bought a SCP in March when Best Buy had their crazy $100 off sale, and have been utterly delighted with it. My other Chromebook is a 2013 Pixel, and while the SCP isn’t as fast as the Pixel, it’s fast enough, the screen is every bit as good as that of the Pixel, it runs more than twice as long on a charge as the Pixel, it runs Android apps, and the built-in stylus is more useful than I expected.

      There is a total of 4 for sell on Swappa right now. N

    At Amazon, the SCP is listed as the #1 New Release in 2 in 1 Laptop Computers, so sales must be doing well.

  • ACER Chromebook R13 is only $222 on their refurbish site 🙂

    • Looks like the $222 ones are out of stock and price is now $279.99
