The Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus is finally on sale again

It’s been about a month since we last saw a discounted price on the popular, awesome Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus. Prior to that, we’d only seen this device go on sale a couple of times here in 2025, and as of this week, it has returned once again.

This discount is a bit odd, netting you $125 off at Best Buy and $75 off at Samsung’s store, but ultimately bringing the asking price down to the same $624.99 at both places. This is simply due to Best Buy’s elevated pricing on a handful of Chromebooks over the past couple weeks that we expect to continue for a bit with fears over US tariffs. However, if Best Buy is willing to discount things down a bit extra as their standard prices increase, it at least levels the playing field.

Why the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus is fantastic

There are so many reasons that I refer to the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus as fantastic, and without doubt, the first thing that amazes most people is the stunning thinness and lightness this Chromebook possesses.

At only 2.58 pounds and only 11.8mm thick, this 15.6-inch Chromebook is shocking to hold in your hand. It truly is something I think any Chromebook fan should walk into a Best Buy and see/feel for themselves.

The other principle star is the stunning AMOLED screen Samsung included in this Chromebook. Sure, it’s a more-standard 15.6-inch 16:9 setup, but the colors, brightness and overall quality are top-notch and an absolute pleasure to work from. If I had all I wanted in this screen, a 120Hz refresh rate would be an amazing addition, but there’s just not much to complain about with this panel.

Additionally, that thin/light chassis is ultra-rigid, the backlit keyboard is wonderful to type on, the port selection is robust, the trackpad is massive and smooth and the internals (Intel Core 3-100U, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage) are plenty fast for anything I ever do on this Chromebook. Even the battery life is impressive, lasting a solid 10-13 hours with screen brightness of 50%-60%.

And right now, it’s just $624.99!  While you can get it for this price at both Best Buy and Samsung, we recommend going to Samsung for this one for a few reasons. First, buying directly from them allows you to add on Samsung’s extended warranty and drop/spill protection. Second, the return window is way wider if the device doesn’t work out for you, allowing for 15 days to initiate the return and an additional 15 days to send it back. Finally, Samsung has some pretty good trade-in options, too, so you might be able to save a few hundred dollars depending on what you have. Either way you go, don’t miss out on this deal as we don’t know when it will return.
