Chromebook Plus models from Acer, HP, ASUS, and Lenovo see first discounts from $269

Best Buy is now offering the first discounts on a series of just-released Chromebook Plus models. Google first took the wraps off the new and improved Chrome OS experience at the beginning of the month, detailing all of the new features that the latest set of hardware would enable. Now you have a chance to save, as five of these new machines are on sale for the first and only times so far courtesy of Best Buy all starting from $269 shipped. There’s at minimum $130 in savings, with new all-time lows to be had across the board. All of the savings are detailed on this landing page, and we also break it down just which of the new Acer, HP, ASUS, and Lenovo Chromebooks are on sale below.

Google’s new Chromebook Plus series helps simplify the Chrome OS lineup by mandating minimum specs that are twice as good as last year’s top-selling devices. The improved hardware means that there are some better features than your standard Chromebook, with a bigger focus on AI, added customization, and everything else you can read over in our launch coverage.
