Brace yourself, these Prime Day Chromebook deals are about to make your jaw drop! Amazon's big sale is finally here and buying a cheap Chromebook is a perfect way to get all of the power and performance you need for considerably less than a Windows or Macbook laptop.

Yes, some of the specs are lower than you might want if you're tackling some performance-intensive tasks or serious gaming, but ChromeOS is well-suited to the needs of anyone just wanting to do a bit of work from home, browse the net, write up documents for work/school, or binge their favorite Netflix show.

Prime Day itself officially began Tuesday, October 10 and most deals last for a full 48 hours until the end of the day on Wednesday, October 11. If you don't find anything today, feel free to check back later: we'll keep updating this list until the big sale wraps up.

Not a Prime member? Fear not, you could always sign up for Amazon's free trial and enjoy all of the benefits of Prime Day without paying anything. And of course, there are always rival sales from other retailers that match or even top the low prices offered by Amazon.

FAQ

What is Prime Day?

Prime Day is Amazon's annual sale event, a chance for paying Prime members to save a ton of extra cash on products across the site, from appliances and furniture to toys and tech. This year, Prime Day kicks off on October 10 at 3am EDT and runs through October 11. Suffice to say, we'll be keeping track of all the best tech deals during Prime so you don't have to.

If you're not a Prime member and you want to sign up, now's your chance. Plans start at $14.99 per month, but if you only want to enjoy Prime Day savings, why not check out the 30-day free trial?

How do I choose 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. 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 fine. If it says it has 2GB of RAM — or 16GB of internal storage — close the tab and walk away.

  3. 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 the relevant Google support page, so before you move that Lightning Deal Chromebook from your cart to the checkout, take ten seconds and look it up on this page. Most Chromebooks launched in 2021-2023 have 10 years of support ahead of them.
