If you’ve been following us for any amount of time, you know that some of the best Chromebook deals are the ones that pop up, disappear, and then thankfully, find their way back. If you missed out on the last window, we have great news: the fantastic $599.99 deal on the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus is officially back!
This remains one of my absolute favorite clamshells in the entire Chromebook Plus lineup. It’s essentially in a class of its own, blending a premium, razor-thin aluminum chassis with an excellent keyboard and a screen that puts most other laptops in this price range to shame.
Why this is still a top-tier pick
As a quick refresher, the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus isn’t just about the “Plus” branding; it’s about the execution. Here’s what you’re getting for that $599 price point:
- The Build: An incredibly thin and light all-metal chassis that feels way more premium flagship than its mid-range price suggests.
- The Display: You’re getting a gorgeous 15.6-inch OLED screen. It’s crisp, vibrant, and arguably the best canvas for productivity (or media consumption) in the ChromeOS world right now.
- The Performance: Under the hood, it’s packing a capable Intel Core 3 processor, 8GB of RAM, and a fast 256GB SSD: the perfect sweet spot for a smooth, reliable Chromebook Plus experience.
Where to get the discount
You can find the $599.99 sale price at both Best Buy and Samsung right now:
- Best Buy: $150 off the regular $749.99 list price.
- Samsung.com: $100 off the regular $699.99 list price.
Even though Best Buy’s “percentage off” looks a bit larger on paper, we almost always steer people toward buying directly from Samsung. The reason? It all comes down to their aggressive trade-in program.
Samsung is notorious for offering massive instant rebates for old phones, tablets, or laptops—even if they have a cracked screen. If you have an old device gathering dust in a drawer, you can likely drop that $599 price significantly lower. Toss in their solid device protection options and easy returns, and it’s usually the smarter play.
As always, these Samsung deals have a habit of vanishing without warning. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to pick up this specific OLED beauty, this is it.
