We review a ton of Chromebooks, and as we head into Amazon Prime Day, there’s no better time to snag one, especially if you’re into saving money. But many people don’t realize that Google’s Chrome OS is legitimately a Windows competitor, enabling fast, power-efficient performance on a wide variety of apps, with a special focus on cloud-based operations. Here are some of the best early deals we’ve found so far, with more coming throughout the next two weeks.

Don’t miss out on any of the savings. Make sure to keep an eye on our round-up of the Best Early Prime Day 2025 Deals. 

Asus Chromebook Deals

Budget is the word for most Chromebooks, and if you’re going to take home a computer for under two hundred bucks, you’d expect to make a few compromises. But in our review of the Asus Chromebook CM14, we were amazed at how well this little number stacked up. While the core processor speed isn’t spectacular, it stacks up well when it comes to performance, and the build quality is solid, featuring a spill-resistant keyboard and antimicrobial coating to keep it sanitary. The 14-inch HD screen isn’t terribly bright, so it might struggle with glare, but for everyday use this is a great choice, especially for students.

Google Pixelbook Deals

It shouldn’t be a surprise that Google is trying to tap into the hardware market as well as the OS business, and while the Pixelbook Go is a bit dated, it’s still a solid Chromebook contender, especially at a 51% price drop. In our 2019 review, we had good words for the durable and stylish construction, backlit keyboard, a 16-inch full HD screen protected with Corning Gorilla Glass, and impressive battery life. Internally, it’s not a powerhouse, but the Intel M3 processor is more than capable of running all of your productivity apps, and the built-in Titan C security chip helps protect from nefarious software.

Lenovo Chromebook Deals

Lenovo is one of our favorite hardware manufacturers when it comes to build quality, and that extends even down to their Chromebooks. For $169, this is an incredible deal, with a comfortable keyboard, acceptable performance for the majority of productivity tasks, and impressive battery life. Quality of life features like USB-C charging and a built-in MicroSD card reader are also nice. We reviewed the base model and really enjoyed our time with it, and the Intel-powered version makes up for a few of our criticisms by doubling the internal storage to 64GB.
