Hurry! This HP Chromebook with 4GB RAM is dirt cheap for $129

As another year of school kicks off, you may be scrambling for a decent day-to-day laptop for yourself (or your kid) that won’t cost an arm and a leg. Well, here’s an excellent back-to-school deal that you won’t want to pass up: Best Buy is selling HP’s Chromebook 14 for just $129! That’s an insane 61% off its original $329 price, making this already budget-friendly laptop one of the best value laptops in its class.

Before you get too excited, let’s keep our expectations in check. At $129, you aren’t getting anything close to a powerhouse machine—but the 14-inch HP Chromebook is pretty decent for what it’s worth. The Intel Celeron N4500 processor is fine and the 1366×768 display is adequate, but Given that this thing is running ChromeOS instead of Windows 11, you’ll be fine as long as it’s mainly used for email, browsing, and simple tasks like word documents and spreadsheets.

The HP Chromebook 14 has 4GB of LPDDR4X memory (which is more than you’d expect in a $129 device) and 64GB of storage (in the slower eMMC format that’s expected in budget Chromebooks), plus a sufficient 45-watt-hour battery that’ll get you through a day’s worth of light activity on a single charge. Surprisingly, the connectivity options are okay with an HDMI 1.4, a USB-C, two fast USB-A, and a 3.5mm audio jack. Lastly, it has a built-in 720p webcam that’s good enough for Zoom and such.

No one can deny that this is a budget-tier device—but the specs are shockingly good for just $129. Get this HP Chromebook 14 at Best Buy before this jaw-dropping deal ends!
