UPDATE: Nov. 27, 2023, 6:05 p.m. EST We've updated this post with the latest Cyber Monday deals on Chromebooks, including a new $79 HP Chromebook deal.
If you need a dirt-cheap laptop for basic browsing, schoolwork, or light gaming (and aren't married to MacOS or Windows), a Chromebook can be a smart buy: They scrap fancy specs in favor of built-in security features, rugged builds, decent battery lives, and affordable price points, and they all come with 100GB of cloud storage for one year via Google One. It's tough to find a better value pick.
Cyber Weekend is a great time to purchase a Chromebook — or any kind of laptop, really — as they tend to drop to outrageous year-round lows ahead of the holidays; last year's record was a mere $79, which was finally met this year in the late hours of Cyber Monday, thanks to Newegg's deal on a $79 HP Chromebook.
Other than that, we only found one Chromebook that cheap on Black Friday 2023 (and it's an in-store doorbuster at Target), but if you broaden your search to $200 or below, you've still got tons of options — including one model from Google's brand-new Chromebooks Plus line.
Keep reading for a running list of the best early Cyber Monday Chromebook deals thus far. (Spoiler: most of our favorites are all Acer models from Best Buy.) Be sure to check back often, as we'll continue to update it in the lead-up to the holiday.
Note: All newly added deals are marked with a ✨. Deals with a strikeout were either sold out or expired at the time of writing.

Why we like it
Google recently unveiled the Chromebooks Plus, a new series of premium Chromebooks with built-in Google apps, Full HD IPS displays, and 1080p+ cameras with AI features. This 15.6-inch Acer model comes with a 12th-generation Intel Core i3 processor, 8GB of RAM for multitasking, and 128GB of storage. Best Buy has it marked down to just $269, which is 33% off its sticker price of $399 — a hefty discount for a laptop that only just debuted in October.

2-in-1 Chromebook deals
Why we like it
In the cheapest overall laptop deal of Black Friday 2023 so far (that's not an in-store exclusive), you can get this 11.6-inch convertible Chromebook from Best Buy for just $124. It's not an impressive PC by any means: It has an old MediaTek processor, a measly 4GB of RAM, 64GB of eMMC storage, and a 1360 x 768 touchscreen display with chunky bezels. But for this price, it's a solid buy for casual tasks like web browsing, taking notes, and watching YouTube videos. (Note that it usually sells for $169.99 on Acer's website — the retailer's price is slightly inflated.)

Gaming Chromebook deals
Why we like it
The Chromebook 516 GE is a 16-inch laptop from 2022 that's designed specifically for cloud-based gaming (the GE stands for "Gaming Edition"), packing a 120Hz display and a backlit keyboard; this model has a 12th-gen Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of SSD storage. It doesn't have a fancy GPU, but that didn't matter to the experts at our sister site PCMag, who took it for a test run: "[It's] still one of the best Chromebooks we've ever seen, and one uniquely suited to let you get into high-end PC gaming with a fraction of the hardware usually required," they wrote. It typically sells for $649.99, but you can snag it on sale for just $449 at Best Buy — a 31% discount we've only spotted once before.
