Lenovo Flagship 14-Inch Chromebook Laptop Computer
$199.97 $216.99 8% off
This Lenovo sale gets you a 14-inch Chromebook with HD display, 10-point touchscreen, backlit keyboard and 4GB of memory for work or streaming. The MediaTek Kompanio 520 Processor is super fast and upgraded for this latest Chromebook model, and we like the WiFi 6 capabilities, which ensure seamless connectivity to get you online.
The 720p built-in HD webcam comes with a privacy screen and battery life is excellent, at up to 13 hours on a single charge. This super slim laptop is just 18 mm thick and weighs less than three pounds for easy portability.
Similar Chromebook/tablet hybrids run in the $300-$1000 range, especially if you’re springing for big names like the iPad. Even laptops run from $500 to over $1000 and don’t feature nearly the amount of bells and whistles and touchscreen capabilities of this Lenovo Chromebook. With this Lenovo deal, you’re getting the the best of both worlds, with a top-tier laptop for under $200.
Lenovo has another great laptop deal online right now, with the popular IdeaPad Flex 3i on sale for just $356 on Amazon.

$356.00 $399.99 11% off
This Chromebook features a flexible, convertible design and a full HD 15.6-inch display, which makes it ideal for streaming in crisp, clear, and vibrant detail with less distractions. Sound is also incredibly immersive for its size, thanks to built-in stereo speakers.

This is a slim and sleek device that delivers a respectable 10 hours of battery life on a single charge. It’s a great laptop for home or office, whether you’re watching movies, or connected to the Lenovo digital pen to quickly write, click or create digital art right on the screen.
