Best Buy’s Memorial Day Weekend Sale is here, and it’s a great time to pick up Chromebook deals for those in the market. For instance, the retailer has chopped $350 off the price of our favorite Chromebook, the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14.
We love this laptop for its high-powered performance, its good-looking touchscreen OLED display, long-lasting battery, and its lightweight, portable build. Crucially, this Chromebook has an upgraded processor compared to other devices, making it super quick and truly worthy of the premium label.
It also features a wide range of advanced features like Text Capture, Select to Search with Lens, and other Gemini AI tools. Another major benefit here is that the Chromebook can get up to 17 hours of battery life per charge, and Lenovo says Rapid Charge will yield up to 80% power in just an hour of charging.
All in all, this is a good price for this laptop and if you’re already a fan of Chrome OS, it might be a deal worth considering.
✅Recommended if: you’re in the market for the best Chromebook on the market, but you don’t want to pay the full $1,000 price tag for it; you want a laptop with a bright, vibrant OLED display of around 14 inches; you prefer a laptop with a thin, lightweight build that’s easy to take with you wherever you go.
❌Skip this deal if: you need something with wide-ranging connectivity options and would rather go with something that has more ports or has a better refresh rate than 60Hz; you’d prefer something more affordable and you don’t need all the bells and whistles or top-notch processing power; you’re sensitive about your trackpads and you’d rather go with a device with Apple’s Magic Trackpad.
The Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 has a 14-inch, OLED touchscreen display with a 60Hz refresh rate. With the addition of the MediaTek Kompanio Ultra Series and 16GB of RAM, it boasts the smoothest, speediest performance out of the entire Chromebook lineup, while still managing to achieve 17 hours of battery life.
Arguably the biggest downside is that it only has two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, but if that isn’t a dealbreaker, then this is a pretty good price point.
