As part of its ongoing Black Friday sale, Samsung is offering its Galaxy Chromebook Plus notebook for $549.99 shipped. This model launched at $700, jumped up to $750 not long after, and has now dropped back to its original launch price of $700. Today's deal, however, shaves $150 off its usual going rate, marking the return of its lowest price we first tracked during the Back to School offers earlier this year. Best Buy is matching the price of the Chromebook as part of its ongoing Black Friday sale, so be sure to snag it after getting more details below.
This particular laptop is Samsung's thinnest and lightest Chromebook yet, featuring a 15.6-inch AMOLED display. It's powered by an Intel Core 3 100U chip and comes with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. At just 11.8mm thick and 2.58 pounds, it's a great everyday laptop that's easy to use and take anywhere. It has a sleek Neptune Blue finish, a refreshed keyboard with a Quick Insert key in place of the old Launcher key, and a good selection of ports to deliver two USB-C, a USB Type-A, an HDMI, a microSD card reader, and a 3.5mm headphone jack connections.
