Here are 6 Cyber Monday Chromebook deals your wallet will hate to miss

Cyber Monday sales on some of the best Chromebook models are in full swing, and time is running out on these final deals. Availability has been extremely limited for Chromebooks lately, and any chance you can buy one is a chance you should take advantage of. Retailers like Best Buy, Amazon, Walmart, and others have a few great Cyber Monday Chromebook deals still live, and we've been tracking all of them.

Here are all of the best Chromebook Cyber Monday deals you can still take advantage of, so don't miss out.

Chromebook Cyber Monday Deals

HP Chromebook x360 14b | $130 off at Best Buy

$269 at Best Buy

Want a big-screen Chromebook without breaking the bank? Best Buy's deal on the HP Chromebook 14 gives you a large screen and a decent selection of ports, as well as the wonderfully adaptable 2-in-1 touchscreen format. While that touchscreen isn't 1080p, I'd take touchscreen over FHD because it makes using apps much easier.

Lenovo Chromebook Flex 3 11-inch | $100 off at Best Buy

The Flex 3 is back down to $179 and like the last two times this happened, it's probably going to sell out fast. The Lenovo Chromebook includes an 11.6-inch touchscreen with an IPS panel and energy-efficient LEDs. It has 4GB RAM, 32GB storage, and a 360-degree flip-and-fold design.

$179 at Best Buy

Acer Chromebook Spin 311 (CP311-3H) Bundle | $50 off at Costco

Despite coming out less than two months ago, the latest Acer 11-inch Chromebook is already discounted at Costco. This is the Chromebook I've been working on full-time for the last month, and 64GB gives you extra room for apps and offline movies.

$250 at Costco

ASUS Chromebook Flip C436 | $100 off at Best Buy

$700 at Best Buy

The ASUS C436 is a beautiful refinement of one of 2019's best Chromebooks, and Cyber Monday deals bring it down to a reasonable price.

HP x360 14-inch 1080p Chromebook | $100 off

This 2-in-1 laptop deal is the one Costco's been holding back on until today, Cyber Monday. It has an Intel Pentium Processor, 4GB RAM, and 64GB of flash storage.

$299.99 at Costco

Samsung Galaxy Chromebook | $200 off at Best Buy

$799 at Best Buy

Chromebooks with 4K screens are few and far between, and none are as sleek and sexy as the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook. Even $200 off, this is still an expensive Chromebook, but you get a lot of power and even more storage for that price. This deal is also available in Mercury Grey.

We have actually been a bit surprised by the lack of Chromebook deals during Amazon's Prime Day and other recent savings events at other retailers. Black Friday finally brought a bounce-back period for the Chromebook, but you'll still have to be a little patient to find the one you want.

What you need to look for when buying a Chromebook

There's always a ton of specs and features you typically need to juggle when shopping for a laptop, but for Chromebooks, the buyer's guide can be summed up pretty well into four points:

  1. Get a touchscreen. — Unless you're anti-fun, there's no reason not to get a touchscreen model; they do not cost that much more and it's always worth it. Touchscreens make it easier to interact with Android apps as well as making it easier to do things like sign documents or zoom in precisely.
  2. Pick your screen size first. Decide right now if you want something compact (11.6 inches), mid-size (12.5-13.5 inches) or large (14-15.6 inches). Processors and storage are pretty standard across each size category, so size is one of the defining features you'll want to sort out early.
  3. 4GB of RAM is good, 8GB is better. — Most Chromebooks sold today come with 4GB of RAM, and 4GB is perfectly fine for running a video call plus a dozen or so tabs in Chrome. More RAM is always better, but 4GB is still okay. If it says it has 2GB of RAM — or 16GB of internal storage — close the tab and walk away.
  4. Check the expiration date!!! — Yes, Chromebooks come with expiration dates, after which they are no longer guaranteed to receive Chrome OS updates. It's called the AUE date, and they're listed for every single Chromebook model on Google's support page, so take 10 seconds and look the Chromebook in your cart up on this page. The shorter the time before a Chromebook's AUE date, the less time you have to enjoy the full benefits of your Chromebook. Most Chromebooks that launched last year have six years of support and most models launched in 2020 have eight years of support ahead of them.

The hidden cost of food delivery

Noah Lichtenstein Contributor Share on Twitter Noah Lichtenstein is the founder and managing partner of Crossover , a diversified private technology fund backed by institutional investors, technology execs and professional athletes and entertainers. More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
