The Black Friday sales often bring some great deals for popular Chromebooks. These laptops are normally more affordable than Windows or Apple models, great for tasks that revolve around browser-based activities, like working with online apps - common for many schools.Â
It's still some time before the Black Friday sales start properly - that's not expected until close to 26 November, which is the date Black Friday falls on. In hte week before that date, you'll usually find the big discounts start and that's when you need to be looking.Â
We'll be keeping an eye on the deals and highlighting the best buying options right here. If you're looking for other laptops, we have a full selection of the best Black Friday laptop deals right here.
What to look for when buying a Chromebook
The thing to remember about Chromebooks is that you really want to look for a still-supported laptop with a minimum set of features and specs.
It should have access to Play Store apps and services. It should also have at least 4GB of RAM and 16GB of storage (32GB of storage is better, but not needed, and going for more usually drives up the price). You also want to look for an Intel processor. If it runs a MediaTek or something else, it'll still work perfectly fine; we just find Intel Chromebooks have more oomph to them.
Once you've found all that, you can get fancy and look for large touchscreen laptops or 2-in-1 convertibles with high-res displays. Or, you could go the other way ... say you're looking for a throwaway device to give to your destructive kid. Then, by all means, go for bare-bones, like 2GB of RAM, a smaller 11-inch "HD" screen, and a black, plastic body and traditional form factor.
