When will the best Black Friday Chromebook deals start in 2023?

While the actual Black Friday sales event takes place on November 24, we're guaranteed to see a ton of great deals land before the actual day itself. There was once a time when we'd urge caution and patience - but with how early retailers kick off their sales now, it's smart to keep your eye out as we approach Black Friday in the next two weeks in case you see a great deal pop up. Remember: once they're gone, they're gone.

Where can I find the best Black Friday Chromebook deals?

Right here! Why, of course; you can find all the best Black Friday Chromebook deals on this very page, but it's important to bear in mind that some online retailers will feature better discounts than others, so be prepared to shop around.

To make things easier, we've compiled a list of every retailer we recommend for Chromebooks - and all sorts of laptops, for that matter. It's a good plan to check these sites out ahead of time, so you can get a better idea of exactly which Chromebook you'd like to buy once the deals start dropping in earnest.

What Black Friday Chromebook deals do we expect in 2023?

Chances are that this Black Friday will deliver some major discounts on all sorts of laptops - and of course, that includes Chromebooks. In the midst of an economic downturn, people have been shrinking their budgets when it comes to tech. Fortunately, that means retailers have plenty of stock they want to shift, so we should see some great deals this year.

That's not all, either. The recent announcement of new Chromebook Plus models hitting stores soon will no doubt lead to shrinking price tags among existing Chromebooks - and having seen the initial Plus lineup, we feel comfortable saying that you don't need to spring for one of those more premium machines if all you want is a simple laptop for work or school.

As for exactly which brands we expect to see discounted, well... it's all of them, really! All the big names like HP, Asus, Acer, Lenovo, and Samsung are expected to have Chromebook deals running up to, during, and just after Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so you'll be spoilt for choice.
