Need a new laptop? Check out this amazing value HP Chromebook for $399 at Best Buy

I’ll cut straight to the point. For a limited time only, you can snap up this HP 14 Chromebook Plus at Best Buy for $399 (was $629). That’s a big discount on an efficient and versatile laptop that’s a great buy if you need a new device for general everyday use, light work, or school.

Chromebooks are known for their portability and affordable price tags, but most of the time, they lack the performance that many users require. That’s where the HP 14 Chromebook Plus comes in. In essence, it still has all the benefits of a Chromebook, but packs in considerably more power.

There are better alternatives at the laptop’s full price, but at just under $400, it’s well worth recommending. Interested? Get it while it’s discounted.

Today’s best Chromebook deal

There are cheaper Chromebooks available, but the Plus version of the popular HP 14 Chromebook offers a step up in power and performance. With an Intel i3 processor, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, it makes for a surprisingly powerful and versatile entry-level option for general use. This is an ideal laptop for light productivity, work, and streaming – and will be an ideal companion for most students.View Deal

When we tested the 15.6-inch version of the HP Chromebook Plus, we were left pleasantly surprised at just how well it performed. We were so impressed that we gave it a respectable four out of five stars. In summary, we called it a “smooth and fast performer with a great build quality and premium feel”.

In terms of specs, the laptop boasts an Intel Core i3 processor, 8GB of memory, and 256GB of storage. That’s everything you could need to get you online, do some work, and relax while streaming the latest shows. You can even flip the screen around to use it in its tablet mode.

Sure, it’s not going to blow anyone’s socks off, but you wouldn’t expect it to at this price. It will work brilliantly for all of your general computing needs.

If you don’t think you’ll need as much power as the Plus offers, then we’d highly recommend the HP 14 Chromebook instead. Or, if you’d like to explore your options, then we have a dedicated best laptops guide just for you.
