The Prime Day sale might be officially over, but that hasn't stopped Amazon from keeping a few of the best Chromebook deals live. There are still a few great products worth snapping up, so it's not too late to pick up a new Google laptop at a nice discount.

Chromebooks are a fantastic way to get online on a budget, but that doesn't mean that all of a Chromebooks appeal lies within affordability. These lightweight ChromeOS devices are perfect for school children and older relatives, and there are even some powerful models with beefier specs for working professionals.

Whether you need one for online shopping, doing homework, or running a business from Google Workspace, these deals are the cream of the Chrome crop..

With tons of Prime Day deals on Chromebooks this year, from the more premium Samsung Galaxy Chromebook to the extremely budget-minded Lenovo IdeaPad 3 11, there’s something for everyone. And usually, that something is priced under $200 to boot.

Chromebooks boast great security features and a simple, intuitive UI, which makes them perfect laptops for kids or anyone lacking tech aptitude. They're often lower-powered than their Windows and MacOS counterparts, making them more suited for straightforward tasks like web browsing and word processing than demanding workloads such as gaming or content creation.

If you just need a lightweight laptop for answering emails and joining video calls, a Chromebook could be the right choice for you. Even on Prime Day, it's easy to spend too much money on a laptop when you just need something for basic work.

Remember that specs are important; if you plan on keeping dozens of Chrome tabs open at once, you'll want a better processor and more RAM. Local storage isn't a huge issue for Chromebooks thanks to their cloud-focused design, but if you plan on installing lots of apps, be sure to pick one with a proper SSD rather than eMMC storage.
