Looking for a super-affordable and child-friendly laptop this Black Friday? These Lenovo Chromebook deals have you covered
Early Amazon Black Friday savings on Lenovo Chromebooks: smart, sleek, affordable
If you're already looking out for Black Friday deals, you're not too early, because we're rounding up all kinds of deals that will likely be hard to beat - even when the big day itself arrives. Two such deals are the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 3i Chromebook, now $299.99 (was $399.99) at Amazon US, and the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 3i Chromebook, now almost a third off at £249.00, (was £349.99) at Amazon UK.
These are slightly pricier Chromebooks, but we'd recommend them nonetheless - especially at these discounted prices. If you want an easy-to-use, intuitive laptop either for yourself or for a child, these laptops will have you covered.
On Amazon in the US, the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 3i Chromebook has a 15.6-inch touchscreen FHD display (with a 360-degree hinge for swapping into tablet mode) and is equipped with an Intel Pentium N6000 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of SSD storage. It comes with Chrome OS installed, it's fairly thin and compact, and the battery life will allow you to keep going for up to 10 hours.
Meanwhile, over in the UK, you can get the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook Plus with a 14-inch FHD display, as well as an Intel Core i3-N305 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of SSD storage. It also comes with Chrome OS and its battery life lasts around 10 hours.
In this Amazon UK deal, this model also has a backlit keyboard, HD audio, and antiglare coating. Like the US deal, it's also thin and lightweight, and it includes a 1080p webcam that has a privacy shutter.
You'll also get 12 months of the Google One AI Premium plan for free, which is £18.99 a month after that.
