This cheap, portable Chromebook scores $170 OFF at Best Buy, days after Cyber Monday

Cyber Monday and Black Friday laptop deals are mostly over, but those still looking will appreciate this next entry. Even after the sales, buyers can score a $170 discount for the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Go at Best Buy, marking over half off the price and bringing it down to just $160.

Samsung released the Chromebook Go as its slimmest and lightest laptop yet. This deal is for the 128GB storage configuration, while it also sports a 14-inch screen, 4GB of RAM, and an Intel Celeron CPU.

To be sure, it’s definitely a laptop that’s meant to be more budget-friendly than some, though it isn’t going to offer anything too impressive from a performance standpoint. Still, it’s not a bad pick for casual users, those surfing the web and streaming movies, or those who are performing basic word processing, spreadsheet, or other netbook-level tasks.

❌Skip this deal if: you’re looking for a performance machine that can handle high-level computing; you’d prefer a 2-in-1 laptop with a touchscreen or something with a higher screen refresh rate; you have the budget to upgrade to one of the best Chromebooks in the mid-range or premium categories.

Samsung offers a wide range of Chromebook options with its Galaxy Books, but the Go was specifically designed with the intent of being affordable and highly portable at just 3.2 pounds. It also has a 14-inch LED display, 128GB of storage, 4GB of RAM, and up to 12 hours of battery life per charge.

As for connectivity, the Galaxy Chromebook Go includes two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, and a headphone-microphone jack, as well as offering 45W USB-C charging. It also has a 720p selfie cam and built-in microphones for video meetings or recording, as well as a durable 180-degree hinge for multiple viewing angles.

While it’s not an industry-leading device by any stretch of the imagination, Samsung does highlight that the Go features substantially faster performance as well as a WLAN card that’s around three times as fast as previous Galaxy Book generations. There are definitely other potential options out there, but this deal seems pretty solid compared to rivaling models around this price point.
