SAVE 29%: Shop our favorite 2-in-1 Chromebook, the HP Chromebook Plus x360, which is now $499, saving you $200 for 29% off.


Laptops don't need to break the bank. We've spent plenty of time rounding up the best cheap laptops that are under $1,000 but still get the job done. Chromebooks are the go-to affordable laptop option, however, the downside is they don't offer a ton of special features and are usually made with cheap materials.

Normally $699, the HP Chromebook Plus x360 2-in-1 laptop is down to $499. That knocks $200 off the price for 29% savings. This deal is available during the Best Buy Tech Fest, and My Best Plus members get an even better deal. With the purchase of $250 or more, you'll get a $25 bonus reward. Those extra savings can go toward a stylus that will work alongside your new 2-in-1 Chromebook.

Through our research, we tested the HP Chromebook Plus x360 2-in-1 laptop and discovered all it had to offer. Not only is it made from sleek aluminum, it includes a touchscreen for a flexible 2-in-1 design. It's best for those with a light work load who primarily need to access the Google Suite of apps or do some light streaming. If you're headed off to college or need a laptop for high school, this will certainly do the job. It doesn't have the best displays and the webcam is weak, but for $499, it's still a great value.
