Best Buy's Chromebook sale is live: here's my top 5 picks for every budget

The Asus Chromebook Plus CX14 is a premium Chromebook with a strong build and comfortable keyboard. It features a 14-inch 1080p display, Intel Core 3 CPU, 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. That's a better spec list than your typical budget Chromebook.

This 2-in-1 Chromebook is built different than competing Chromebooks. For starters, it has a 12.1-inch 2.5K touchscreen display. It's also powered by a MediaTek Kompanio 500 Series CPU paired with 8GB of RAM and a 128GB eMMC. It also has a detachable keyboard and adjustable stand cover, so you can use it as a laptop or tablet.

This Lenovo Chromebook Plus provides excellent value for money, especially with $100 off. It packs a 15.3-inch 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA) display, Intel Core Processor N Series CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a fast 128GB UFS storage. It's a great machine for the college student trying to spend less.

For a Chromebook, the Asus CX34 is pretty dang powerful, and that’s mostly due to its Intel Core i5-1335U processor. It also has a 14-inch, 1920 x 1080-pixel display, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of UFS storage, which is faster than eMMC storage. The CX34 is pretty stacked in the port department, too, with an HDMI port, two USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, and an audio jack.

Simply put, this is one of the best 2-in-1 laptops you can buy! We gave this device an excellent 4-star rating in our Acer Chromebook Spin 514 review, because it performs well in pretty much every category — it runs fast, it has long battery life and it's got a gorgeous display. Sure, it's one of the more expensive Chromebooks out there, but at a discount it's a great buy. You get a 14-inch 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA) touchscreen display, MediaTek Kompanio Ultra Series CPU, 12GB of RAM, and a 256GB UFS storage.
