Three Lenovo Chromebooks on Sale for Less Than $100 on Prime Day. This is a good price for the Chromebook that is likely to be decent for those who are willing to make an additional purchase.
Our list of the top Chromebook deals on Prime Day usually includes at least one Chromebook priced less than $100. We've seen a lot, including several Chromebooks with prices as low as $79 from Lenovo, which offers massive savings of as much as 70.
Here they are:
Lenovo IdeaPad 3 (11-inch), $99.99 (55% off) at Amazon Lenovo Chromebook 3 (11.6-inch), $79.00 (43% off) at Best Buy
Lenovo Chromebook 3 (14-inch) with Headset Bundle, $89.00 (68% off) at Walmart
Are they worth it? We believe they're worth it, but only barely. All three Chromebooks are powered by a Celeron N4020 processor, which is admittedly dual-core processor, but it's few years old. All three Chromebooks come with 4GB of memory. The minimum requirements for a Chromebook is 64GB. We've seen more than a few Chromebooks with 32GB of storage, so the additional space for applications or photos is beneficial, even though you'll want to do mostly web work on Chromebooks. The most expensive features, like a touchscreen, however, are not included. However the Walmart bundle does include headphones, which is a small but nice addition.
This Chromebook runs Chrome OS. It won't play Roblox or Minecraft like laptops do. If you have any questions, check out our story on Chromebooks versus laptops.
The screen at 768p is the weakest screen of the three Chromebooks. It's smaller than laptops' 1080p screens, but it's still adequate. But don't fret, especially if you already have invested in a technology over the years. The three Chromebooks have at least one USB-C port and one with DisplayPort over USB-C. Minecraft servers This means you can connect an external display to the Chromebook and use that instead to increase the screen's size and resolution.
How? You will need a USB hub or dongle, which ranges in price from $20 to $40 , depending on what you buy. You might find that the 768p display is perfect for you, since they're small and portable Chromebooks. (If you want an external 1080p display, you'll need to spend around $100 for one that has HDMI input, such as this $97 23-inch 1080p Aopen display, which is currently on sale for Prime Day.)
What's the best price among these three? Evidently, Walmart offers the most for your money. We recommend Best Buy's deal since it is the most affordable price. If you decide that a Chromebook isn't for you, browse our list of the best Prime Day laptop deals.
