There are plenty of great mid-range Chromebooks up for grabs these days, but manufacturers haven't forgotten to focus on more affordable laptops. Chrome OS is perfect for gadgets below $400, and you can finally add another option to the list. Samsung's new Galaxy Chromebook Go is now available for purchase, and it'll only run you $300 for the standard model
Lenovo's newest Chromebook has an 11-inch display and 64GB of storage for $230
Plus, the two-tone design looks kind of cool
From the stylish pink-sand colored Chromebook C340 to the Duet Chromebook tablet, Lenovo loves making ChromeOS devices to fill a wide variety of consumer needs. Most of its devices are on the cheaper end of the spectrum, targeting budget-savvy back-to-school shoppers and older folks who just need access to a reliable computer. Now, the company has launched a new 11-inch Chromebook 3 with a unique design for $229.99.
Just when we thought the shopping madness was over now that we've put Black Friday behind us, Cyber Monday is already in full swing and offers a slew of new deals. Among them you'll find the excellent budget laptop of our choice, the Lenovo Chromebook C330. It's available for just 0 at Best Buy, which is $100 less than the usual $280 price tag.
In my opinion, Asus makes the best Chromebooks on the market, second only to Google. Last year's Chromebook Flip C302 is still one of the best Chrome OS laptops you can buy, especially considering its competitive price point. The company's lower-end C101PA is also a fantastic 10-inch convertible. I think you can easily make the argument that without Asus, Chromebooks wouldn't have the mainstream appeal they enjoy today.That being said, both the C101PA and C302 are nearly two years old and long-overdue for a replacement. Asus released a new Chromebook last month, but it wasn't a new premium laptop or an entry-level 2-in-1. The 'C223NA,' as it's called, is something different entirely - it's basically a netbook.The C223 is unapologetically cheap, with an underwhelming non-touch Twisted Nematic (TN) screen and low-end hardware. The retail price of $230 is in line with other similarly-specced Chromebooks, but it's hard to believe that the company widely known for building great Chrome OS devices at competitive prices made this product.
