Do you need a laptop on the cheap, and aren’t particularly married to Windows? Then a Chromebook is the way to get the best bang for your buck. While the OS is still heavily dependent upon the web — it’s built around a browser, after all — that’s gonna cover most people 90 percent of the time. Today Best Buy is selling a variety of new Chromebooks for as little as $149.
Nine models are on sale at the moment. If you need one for as little scratch as possible, then the Asus Chromebook CM14 should be your first port of call.
