Although deals have been rolling in for weeks, it's now officially Amazon Prime Day. The retail giant's big event is always a perfect time to pick up a new laptop, especially if you're looking for a MacBook (or any other Apple devices, for that matter). But let's not forget about a fan-favorite budget laptop: the Chromebook.

SEE ALSO: Amazon Prime Day is just around the corner — here's how to find the best deals

A good number of Chromebooks were already discounted ahead of Prime Day's official start, including models from Acer, Asus, and beyond. But as day one progresses, we're seeing many of those prices drop even further. There are plenty of Chromebook deals to shop at Amazon, but we also found a few deals at Best Buy that were too good not to include.

We'll be keeping a running list of the best Chromebook deals throughout Prime Day below, so check back if you don't see something that suits you just yet. In particular, we're still hoping to see a sub-$100 Chromebook deal pop up.

Note: All newly added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price.

Why we like it

The new Chromebook Plus line of laptops combines performance, power, and convenience at the same low price that the popular budget computers are known for. This model from Acer comes equipped with great internal specs at this price point, and will work well for anyone who desires a no-frills device that'll tackle their web-browsing and document-editing tasks with ease. You'll also get some nice extras with your purchase, including a year of Google One AI Premium and 2TB of Google One cloud storage. Up to 11 hours of battery, cloud gaming support, and an all-time low price just under $300 make this deal even sweeter.
