Best Buy
Sometimes, a computer just needs to do the bare minimum. We’re talking web browsing, some light photo editing, maybe a little gaming, and the occasional streamed movie or show. And while there are premium PCs that can handle all those tasks and so much more, this week, we found the end-all-be-all Chromebook offer that checks all those bare minimum boxes:
We’re talking about the HP 14 Chromebook, which is currently on sale at Best Buy for only $159. At full price, this model sells for $300. Sure, it may not be ultra-powerful, but who needs a V8 engine when you can run all your local errands with a Corolla or a Civic?
If you’re looking for even more savings on these kinds of entry-level PCs, we have a more extensive list of Chromebook deals that are worth looking through.

Why you should buy the HP 14 Chromebook
Powered by an Intel Celeron with integrated Intel UHD Graphics, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of eMMC storage, the HP 14 isn’t going to win any awards for speed or visuals, but it’s perfectly fine at handling just about anything you can do with a mainstream web browser. Plus, the 1366 x 768 resolution still counts as HD! And with Chrome OS at the heart of this machine, you’ll be working with a reliable OS that doesn’t break the bank.
On a full charge, you can expect up to 14 hours of battery life on the HP 14. Thanks to HP Fast Charge, the laptop can also be charged to 50% battery from zero in only 45 minutes. The built-in HP Imagepad (HP’s name for the touchpad) even lets you use four fingers to scroll, zoom, and bounce between tabs and apps.
Weighing only 3.35 pounds, the HP 14 is lightweight and portable, and with the onboard Titan C2 security chip, you can rest easy knowing this Google-friendly computer is essentially virus-proof. Other noteworthy features include HDMI and USB ports, a 720p webcam, and a quick 10-second boot time.
We’re not sure how long this discount is going to last, so you may want to buy now before it’s too late. Save $140 when you purchase the HP 14 Chromebook at Best Buy, and make sure you take a peek at some of the other HP laptop deals we’ve been finding! We also have a more general list of laptop deals.
