I'm pleasantly surprised the Black Friday deals this year. Sure, there were a few hidden gems last time around, but I've seen a veritable flood of great laptop deals this year. Case in point, the surprisingly powerful HP Chromebook Plus 15 fell to its lowest-ever price of $359.99 (was $659.99) at HP.

This Chromebook is a bit of an anomaly. It's not too weak for comfortable everyday use, doesn't have a lackluster screen, offers solid overall build quality, and has a satisfying keyboard and trackpad combo. All without pushing the price tag into the realm where I'd recommend an alternative Windows or Mac machine. Especially when you tack on this huge $300 discount for Black Friday.

And more good news: It's on sale in the UK, too. Get the HP Chromebook Plus 15 for £248 (was £449.99) at HP UK.

Shopping for a new everyday laptop on a budget? The HP Chromebook Plus 15 makes an excellent case for itself with specs you rarely find in Chromebooks, including a 15-inch screen, 8GB of RAM, a decent Intel Core i3 processor, and 128GB of storage. It further sets itself apart with solid HP build quality and battery life that doesn't leave you tethered to an outlet (just under 11 hours on a single full charge).

My friends in the UK can get in on this Black Friday Chromebook action, too. The HP Chromebook Plus 15 is a fantastic daily driver machine, perfect for students who need a budget laptop that handles written assignments and media enjoyment with ease. It's also a great choice if you just want something simple to browse the web, answer emails, and let your kids play some Minecraft.

I'm normally not a huge Chromebook fan. When it comes down to it, I usually suggest something a little more powerful like a MacBook Air or Dell 14 Premium. But from our hands-on testing, it's clear the HP Chromebook Plus 15 is in a league of its own.

Everything I usually knock a Chromebook for – like a miniscule 4GB of RAM, tiny 64GB storage, and screen that makes you consider a portable monitor – doesn't apply here.

The Chromebook Plus 15 offers enough RAM and storage, combined with a respectable Intel core i3 processor, to ease my usual Chromebook performance woes.

And its surprising performance isn't the only reason we named it our top pick of the best Chromebooks in 2025. It also features a vibrant FHD display, which is not something you're usually going to get from a Chromebook. On top of that, you get a sleek design complete with HP build quality. Chromebooks usually feel cheap to me; this one doesn't.

If you need an everyday laptop at a reasonable price, the HP Chromebook Plus 15 at the lowest price I've ever seen it at is definitely the way to go. Thank you, Black Friday.

This Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook is a very basic device, but it's ridiculously cheap, making it a good buy for general web browsing, admin tasks and schoolwork. It won't offer great performance and will struggle with anything beyond light use, but the lean ChromeOS gets more from the entry-level components and ensures a lengthy full-day battery life.

It's not going to break any speed records, but for basic everyday tasks like web browsing and word processing, this is an excellent - and very compact - choice.
