Sweet! This already-cheap Chromebook just scored another $190 OFF at Best Buy

Cheap laptop season is always around the corner, as evidenced by the fact that Best Buy is currently carving $190 off for the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook. The deal comes as part of the Best Buy January outlet sales event, and it marks a nearly 60% discount on a laptop that already boasts a pretty affordable price tag.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook is a bare-bones laptop in a super-thin, lightweight housing. It comes with the user-friendly Chrome OS, while this particular version of the computer is the 14-inch, non-touchscreen model with 64GB of storage.

Still, it also has a microSD slot for those who need additional storage, and users also like the screen’s bright, vivid look, as well as the computer’s battery life. It also includes a 720p selfie camera for video calls, a privacy shutter, dual speakers, and a headphone jack out. It’s not a performance model, to be fair, but it might feel a little like one compared to some of the competition around this discounted price point.

✅Recommended if: you’re looking for a laptop for under $130 that will still perform decently well across most tasks; you want a computer with a vivid display of around 14 inches; you like having a slim, lightweight laptop that’s easy to carry around with you by hand, in a backpack, or other bag.

❌Skip this deal if: you’re looking for the best Chromebook on the market and are able to spend the extra money for it; you need a laptop that also includes a fingerprint reader, or a wide range of connectivity options; you need a computer with more than 64GB of onboard storage, and you can’t get away with using a microSD card to expand available storage.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook joins the wide range of Chromebook laptops across price points as a worthy competitor. With its 14-inch, 1080p display, up to 13.5 hours of battery life, and a super-low discounted price point, this could be a chance to score a device that truly punches above its weight class.

This IdeaPad Slim 3 comes with the smooth, swift Chrome OS, backed by a basic MediaTek Kompanio 520 CPU and 4GB of RAM. As for connectivity, buyers may also want to pick up a USB dock of some sort, as the device only includes a USB-C charging port, one USB-A port, a microSD slot and a 3.5mm headphone and microphone jack.
