It’s not often that I get excited about a $30 discount. But when it’s the first-ever price drop on the device I’ve confidently called “the best Chromebook ever made,” I think it is worth sitting up and taking notice. That’s right, the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 is finally on sale. At least a little bit.
This Chromebook has been sitting at its $749.99 MSRP since it launched, and for good reason – it’s fantastic to use and worth every penny. But starting today, you can snag this incredible Chromebook Plus directly from Lenovo’s website for $719.99, a $30 savings off the standard price.
A quick reminder why this is the best Chromebook ever made
If you’re wondering why I (and many others) are so over-the-moon about this particular Chromebook, it’s because it’s as close to the total package as it gets. While there’s not perfect Chromebook, this one gets dangerously close for sure, including:
- The Processor: It’s the first Chromebook to feature the new MediaTek Kompanio Ultra chip, a super-fast and efficient processor that delivers incredible performance in a completely silent, fanless design.
- The Battery Life: The battery is a beast. It’s advertised at 17 hours, and in my real-world testing, I regularly got two full work days between charges.
- The Screen: The 14-inch, 16:10 OLED screen is absolutely gorgeous, with perfect contrast, 400 nits of brightness, and fantastic responsiveness.
- The Build & Inputs: The build quality is solid yet lightweight (at just 2.5 pounds), the backlit keyboard is one of the best I’ve ever used, and the large, glass trackpad is smooth and accurate.
- The Extras: It’s rounded out with a solid 5MP camera, a fingerprint scanner, and surprisingly fantastic-sounding quad Dolby Atmos speakers.
It’s important to note that this deal is for the higher end model we reviewed with a touchscreen, 256GB of storage and 16GB of RAM. Again, $30 isn’t a life-changing discount, but it’s the first time this device has ever budged from its retail price. If you’ve been on the fence, this is the first opportunity to get the best all-around Chromebook on the market for less than its MSRP. We have no idea how long this will last, so don’t hesitate if you’ve been waiting for it.
