I wrote a buying guide of sorts on wading through the rough waters of good and bad deals on new and old devices, and if you don’t find what you are looking for on any given day, I’d recommend giving that a read so you can go and make your own decisions across multiple retailers.
But for those of you who simply want the best deals on any given day in one place that is easy to see, understand, and digest, this will be your spot. Bookmark it for later and be sure to make this a priority spot to visit down the road when the time comes to shop for the right Chromebook at the right price. Also, unless otherwise noted, the listings that are manufacturer refurbished come with all original accessories, are free of any cosmetic blemishes, and carry a 90-day manufacturer warranty.

16 BEST CHROMEBOOK DEALS TODAY
ASUS Chromebook Plus CX54 ($649)
The ASUS Chromebook Plus CX54 is without doubt one of the best overall Chromebooks ever built. With an ultra-sturdy, all-aluminum chassis, glass trackpad, excellent backlit keyboard, wide port selection, 16:10 QHD 120Hz 500-nit 14-inch screen, and Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, this powerhouse has everything you want other than a touchscreen. At the $699 MSRP, it’s fantastic; on sale, it’s a no-brainer!
Lenovo Flex 5i Chromebook Plus ($399)
The Lenovo Flex 5i Chromebook Plus is convertible, USI compatible, and comes with the latest Intel Core i3-1315U. With the Chromebook Plus-required 8GB of RAM and 128GB of SSD storage, this Chromebook is plenty fast and easy on the eyes, too. The 14-inch 16:10 1920×1200 IPS screen is sharp, colorful, and bright at 300 nits. With upward-firing speakers, the overall package – like it is on most of these Chromebook Plus models so far – is quite good.
Lenovo Chromebook Duet 3 8GB ($299.99)
Imagine taking all the good stuff I just said about the Duet 5 and shrinking it down to an even more portable size. The Duet 3 manages this and still delivers a fantastic overall experience as a tablet and as a Chromebook on the desk. With the Duet 3’s smaller 11-inch size and 16:10 aspect ratio, you also get a bit of a better one-handed tablet experience, too.
Lenovo Slim 3i Chromebook Plus ($419.99)
From the exceedingly firm chassis to the surprisingly-good 14-inch IPS touchscreen, the Slim 3i nails nearly every part of the Chromebook experience in a way that few other devices manage to pull off. With a stellar backlit keyboard, solid trackpad, quick internals (Intel Core i3-N305, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD), punchy/vibrant screen (300 nits), and top-notch build quality, I’ve enjoyed using this Chromebook more than nearly any other device I’ve ever tested.
Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5 ($349)
For the Duet 5, the superlatives are numerous, including a 13.3-inch OLED screen, a thin/light build, quad speakers, and an included keyboard case that makes this tablet truly usable both on a desk and in your lap if you need to get some work done. With the Snapdragon 7c Gen 2, 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, you’ll be able to knock quite a few tasks out with ease when needed.
Acer Chromebook Spin 714 ($549.99)
This year’s iteration of the Spin 714 continues the already-great equation from last-year’s model, delivering a 13th-gen Intel Core i5, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of NVMe with a 14-inch 16:10 FHD screen that hits a reported peak brightness of 340 nits, a stellar backlit keyboard, Gorilla Glass trackpad, QHD webcam, upward-firing speakers, solid port assortment, and a firm, metal chassis. It’s one of the best Chromebooks available, and deeply discounted right now.
Lenovo Slim 3 Chromebook ($211)
The Lenovo Slim 3 Chromebook is one of my favorite affordable Chromebooks of 2023. With a superb build quality (despite being all plastic) and a shockingly great screen at this price point, the Slim 3 feels far nicer than its price tag the moment you open the lid.
ASUS Chromebook CM14 ($139)
The ASUS Chromebook CM14 is a MediaTek Kompanio 520-powered clamshell device that impressed us when it was released well over a year ago. The processor is enough for light work, the chassis is firm, and the keyboard/trackpad are impressive for a device that comes in under $300 on a regular basis.
ASUS Chromebook Plus CM34 Flip ($399.00)
There’s a lot to like in a Chromebook that starts at only $499. The chassis is firm, the keyboard and trackpad are great, the screen is a solid 300 nits, the processor is fast, and the internal specs are respectable with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It is sturdy and great for getting stuff done. I called it a workhorse in my review and I stand by that label.
Acer Chromebook Vero 514 ($299.99)
Of all the Chromebooks made, the Acer Chromebook Vero 514 is by far one of the most unique. With a clear and present message around sustainability, the Vero lineup of laptops deliver a unique look and feel that isn’t matched by anything else in the industry. And with this one, you get a great build quality, great screen, excellent keyboard/trackpad, and Chromebook Plus certified internals.
ASUS Chromebook Vibe CX5 ($559.99)
The ASUS Chromebook Vibe CX5 is a gaming Chromebook built with the same chassis and quality as the beloved CX5 that came before it. With an 11th-gen Core i5, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of SSD storage and a 144Hz screen, it’s great for cloud gaming and most Chromebook tasks, even if it doesn’t get the vaunted Chromebook Plus features.
Acer Chromebook Plus 514 ($348.99)
With the second version of the Acer Chromebook Plus 514, Acer went with Intel on the inside, improved the screen to add touch and 300 nits of brightness, and included a whopping 512GB SSD to round things out. All the while, this 14-inch Chromebook Plus maintains a daily price of just $349, making it one of the best deals around regardless of whether or not it is marked down or not.
ASUS 16-inch Chromebook CX5601 ($479)
With the ASUS Chromebook CX5601, there are some great things in the overall package. With a 12th-gen Core i3, 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, you have a Chromebook Plus-level Chromebook for sure. The large 16-inch 16:10 screen is nice for those that are looking for more real estate, and the backlit keyboard is a great perk as well.
Acer Chromebook Plus 515 ($299)
The Acer Chromebook Plus 515 is a solid Chromebook that – like all Chromebook Plus models – delivers a great experience overall with fast internals, great connectivity, upward-firing speakers, and an anti-glare touchscreen that’s large and 1080p. It’s not flashy, but this Chromebook will deliver a great experience, especially at this price.
ASUS Chromebook CM30 Detachable ($299)
ASUS has issued an impressive update to its first attempt at a ChromeOS tablet. The CM30 Detachable improves on the keyboard, the kickstand, build quality and speed over its predecessor. While the Kompanio 520 inside isn’t a powerhouse, it gets by quite well and there’s also a model that comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage as well.
HP 15.6-inch Chromebook Plus ($399)
With the HP 15.6-inch Chromebook Plus, you’re getting the fast Intel Core i3-N305, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage and FHD 15.6-inch anti-glare screen. With a solid keyframe, numeric keypad and decent trackpad, this Chromebook won’t wow you with premium features, but it will comfortably get the job done.
