Better hurry – Lenovo's best 2-in-1 Chromebook is just $299 for Black Friday
The Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i packs major performance at a low price
Chromebooks make some of the best 2-in-1 devices thanks to their lightweight OS and affordability, but this Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook for just $299 at Amazon absolutely takes things to a whole other level.
Black Friday deals are a great way to get big ticket items at a more accessible price, and nowhere is this more important than when it comes to a new laptop or Chromebook.
And while the best Chromebooks are generally more affordable than the best Windows laptops or MacBooks, they usually have to sacrifice high-performance hardware to remain affordable. Not so with this Lenovo 2-in-1, which has more than enough power under the lid to perform at its best for many years to come.

When it comes to Chromebooks, you typically don't see any with these kinds of specs at this price.
