Chromebooks are generally cheaper than their Windows-based counterparts, and they’re even more affordable with this year’s Cyber Monday deals. That’s right, Black Friday may already be over, but there are still deals to be had. So if you’re in the market for a new Chromebook, here’s an offer to consider — Best Buy’s $80 discount for the Lenovo Flex 3 Chromebook, which pulls its price down to $99 from its original price of $179. You won’t always see a Chromebook on sale for less than $100 these days, so complete the transaction now so that you won’t miss this opportunity. And time is actually of the essence for this particular deal: There is a countdown listed for it, and this deal ends in about 20 hours. So this deal might not even make it to Cyber Monday. If you need a new Chromebook, act now!

Why you should buy the Lenovo Flex 3 Chromebook

The Lenovo Flex 3 Chromebook is equipped with the MediaTek MT8183 processor, integrated ARM-based Graphics, and 4GB of RAM. These specifications look a little weak on paper, especially compared to the components of the best laptops, but the Chromebook is still capable of providing snappy performance because of Google’s Chrome OS. The operating system utilizes web-based apps instead of installed software, resulting in low overhead. The Chromebook also only has a 64GB eMMC for storage, but that wouldn’t be a problem because you can save your files on the cloud.

Further adding value to the Lenovo Flex 3 Chromebook is the fact that it’s a 2-in-1 laptop, which our laptop buying guide describes as a combination of the convenience of a tablet and the utility of a laptop’s keyboard. This is possible through the 360-degree hinges attaching the 11.6-inch HD touchscreen to the device’s body. Opening the display gets it into laptop mode, and folding it all the way back changes the device into tablet mode — and you can choose the form to use with the Lenovo Flex 3 Chromebook depending on the situation.

Are other laptop deals still too expensive for you? Then set your sights on the Lenovo Flex 3 Chromebook, which is still available even now that Black Friday has ended, with an $80 discount that lowers its price to just $99 from its sticker price of $179. Here’s your chance to buy a 2-in-1 Chromebook for less than $100, but you’ll need to hurry if you want to grab the offer because as we mentioned Best Buy has a literal countdown for it that says the deal will end in less than 24 hours.

This year's Cyber Monday deals have dropped. For Apple fans who want to take advantage of the shopping event to buy a MacBook, there's an offer from Best Buy that you shouldn't miss. The 256GB model of the 13-inch Apple MacBook Air M3 is on sale with a $200 discount that slashes its price from $1,099 to $899, but probably not for long, as Cyber Monday MacBook deals will be gone soon. You're going to have to be quick to add it to your cart, though, because this 18% discount won't last long.

Why you should buy the 13-inch Apple MacBook Air M3
Our team is a big fan of the 13-inch Apple MacBook Air M3. It currently holds the title as the very best MacBook you can buy in our rankings of the best MacBooks, and it all starts with the performance of Apple's M3 chip.

2024 TCL S3 HDTV.

It's time. The crazy Cyber Monday TV deals have dropped and we found one that's wild. A real bargain on the 40-inch TCL TV that's over 50% off right now. With a $130 discount, that drops its price from $230 all the way down to $100. You probably didn't think it was possible to get a decent-sized TV for that price, but Cyber Monday is proving us all wrong. You're going to have to hurry with your purchase, though, because we've got a feeling that this deal will be gone really soon.

 
Why you should buy this 40-inch TCL TV
TCL is one of the best TV brands because of the value that its products provide, and that's on full display with a 40-inch TCL S3 Full HD TV. It's not going to challenge the performance and features of the best TVs in the market, but one important thing that it shares with them is the fact that it's a smart TV. Through Amazon's Fire TV platform, you'll be able to access all of the popular streaming services, such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, and you'll also be able to initiate voice commands through either Amazon's Alexa or Google Assistant.
