Forget Black Friday, Best Buy has deals on two of the hottest Chromebooks of 2020 and you can save as much as $180. While I’m sure that we’ll see some great deals as the holiday shopping season ramps up, these two Chromebooks are at or near the cheapest they’ve ever been and they offer some of the best features Chrome OS has to offer in any price range.
HP Chromebook x360 14c
Second only to the Acer Spin 713 on my list of best premium devices of 2020, the HP Chromebook x360 14c improves on its predecessor with a 10th Gen Intel Core i3 CPU and a design that looks and feels more refined than the original x360 14. It’s difficult to find any faults with this Chromebook with our only real gripe being the lack-luster brightness of the display. Regardless, it is a powerful and premium Chromebook that’s worth its salt. The biggest drawback of the HP is its $629 price tag. While some may argue that it’s worth that much, you can also pick up the Core i5 Acer Spin 713 for the same price and the Spin’s display beats the HP’s hands-down.
In recent weeks, the HP Chromebook x360 14c has been on sale for as little as $499 at Best Buy making it one of our top recommendations for those seeking a premium device for relatively little cash. If you’ve still been teetering on a buying decision, you can now knock another $50 off and grab this Comet Lake 2-in-1 for only $449. That’s $180 off the retail price and makes this dollar for dollar the best value from a flagship Chromebook. Here’s what the HP Chromebook x360 14c brings to the table:

Lenovo Chromebook Duet
Lenovo’s popular Chromebook Duet tablet has been enjoying a number of sales from retailers as of late but this promotion is the best we’ve seen to date. The 128GB version available from Best Buy is a solid purchase at $299 but recently the 2-in-1 has been reduced down to the low price of only $269. At that price, this super bright tablet with a detachable keyboard is impossible to ignore. However, Best Buy is taking it to the next level with another discount that brings the price of the Duet down to $249. That’s less than the MSRP of the 64GB model. The Duet has been a hot seller this year and this makes it one of the best Chromebook deals of 2020. Check it out over at Best Buy via the link below and stay tuned for more deals as the holiday shopping season gets into full swing.
