The pre-Christmas sales are in full swing, and Pocket-lint is tracking the best laptop bargains. But we had to highlight the very best cheap Chromebook deals separately here - as it's very rare to be able to pick up a laptop for such great prices.
The thing to remember about Chromebooks is that you really want to look for a still-supported laptop with a minimum set of features and specs.
It should have access to Play Store apps and services. It should also have at least 4GB of RAM and 16GB of storage (32GB of storage is better, but not needed, and going for more usually drives up the price). You also want to look for an Intel processor. If it runs a MediaTek or something else, it'll still work perfectly fine; we just find Intel Chromebooks have more oomph to them.
Once you've found all that, you can get fancy and look for large touchscreen laptops or 2-in-1 convertibles with high-res displays. Or, you could go the other way... Say you're looking for a throwaway device to give to your destructive kid. Then, by all means, go for bare-bones, like 2GB of RAM, a smaller 11-inch "HD" screen, and a black, plastic body and traditional form factor.
Here are all the bargain-basement Chromebooks we've spotted so far.
