If you're a fan of lightweight laptops, this weekend's Chromebook deals at Best Buy and Amazon are yielding some really great prices on a variety of machines.

Best Buy, for example, has Chromebook deals starting at just $249 (was $299) (opens in new tab) for this Lenovo Duet 2-in-1 device - which is a great little machine if you're looking for something capable of straddling both the laptop and tablet worlds. Amazon too has a great deal on this Acer Chromebook Spin for $269.99 (was $499) (opens in new tab), which features an Intel Celeron processor and five different modes of use.

For something in a bit more of a traditional laptop form-factor, we'd recommend checking out this $50 off sale on this 15.6-inch Samsung Chromebook for $329 (was $379) (opens in new tab) at Best Buy. With a bit of a larger screen, spacious keyboard, and Intel Celeron processor, this one will serve you well for more productivity-focused tasks. 

And finally, Best Buy also has an absolutely bonkers $300 off this stunning Samsung Galaxy Chromebook for $699 (was $999) (opens in new tab) - a machine that not only packs ultrabook level specs but is also capable of 4K resolution.

Chromebook deals have really taken off in popularity in the past year - primarily because they're fantastic tools for kids doing school work from home. Of course, that's not the only application they're great for though, and if you're someone who simply needs to cover the basics on a budget, you'll find them a great purchase. The ChromeOS is simple to use, lightweight, and generally runs on really power-efficient hardware, lending really good battery life on most of these laptops.

Save $50 - This Lenovo Duet may be diminutive, but it's a whole lot of tech for the money when you consider it can be used as both a laptop and a tablet. Inside, the MediaTek Helio processor, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage should make things chug along rather nicely for the basic tasks too, although don't expect anything too speedy here.

Spend just a little bit more this weekend and you can bag this Acer Chromebook at Amazon - a 2-in-1 that's packing a little bit more power with its Intel Celeron processor. Note, however, this machine only has 32GB of storage overall, so it's not well suited if you want to store large media files directly onto your device.
