Think of what $139 will buy you in a tech or electronics store, and usually you go to the little stuff — go elbows-deep in that bargain DVD bin, or grab a (small) portable hard drive, or maybe a printer — but the ink refills will catch up to you soon enough. But right now at Best Buy, $139 will get you a new 14-inch HP Chromebook which normally sells for $329.
Don’t worry, it’s not a refurbished or scratch-and-dent floor model from some obscure brand you’ve never heard of — this is a brand-new HP Chromebook with an Intel Celeron N4500 processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of built-in storage, Intel UHD Graphics, and more than enough features and perks to far outstrip this crazy-low $139 sale price, which is nearly 60% off.
Everything You Need
A good Chromebook like this one from HP can provide you with everything you need for getting things done and having a little fun and relaxation while you’re at it. This one has WiFi 6 and a Bluetooth 5.3 wireless card for rapid-response browsing or streaming, and the HP True Vision HD camera is perfect for video calls or conferencing.
The 14-inch screen is full HD with a 1366 x 768 resolution — 1 million pixels of great picture and vibrant color, powered by Intel UHD Graphics that delivers 4K video content and gaming at 720p. The dual speakers have been given a serious tuning and testing process at the factory so they come out of the box ready to deliver rich, immersive sound.
All of the streaming and gaming potential might have you thinking you’ll wear out the battery life in no time, but the HP Chromebook is designed for all-day use, and even a quick 45 minute charge will bring it from 0 to 50% thanks to HP’s Fast Charge tech.
The Power of Google
The Chrome OS system that gives the Chromebooks their name was designed for simplicity, speed, and safety. All of your productivity apps are easily launched without having to search for them in a nest of folders, but if you’re really needing to find an app or a file in a hurry, the Google Everything Button is your single-stroke search engine.
The HP Chromebook comes with built-in virus protection which automatically updates itself to battle the newest malware and other threats, and as you would expect from a Chromebook, it’s conveniently thin and compact and light — only 3.35 pounds — for work or play on the go. But best of all, it’s somehow available for just $139 at Best Buy after their $190-off (almost 60% off) sale.
