If you need a laptop for school work and everyday things, a Chromebook at the right price is hard to recommend. The 14″ Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Go is at its end $129.99 (was $299.99)saving you $170 at 57% discount. This price is less about getting high performance and more about getting a reliable machine that lets you “do homework, attend class, and keep moving” without spending too much.
What you get
This is a 14-inch Chromebook with ChromeOS, an Intel Celeron N4500, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage. The best use case is web-first work: Google Docs, Slides, Classroom, email, browsing, and streaming. It’s also a good fit for families who need a shared computer for light tasks, or for students who live primarily with browser-based tools.
The screen size of 14 inches is also a nice middle ground. It’s big enough to get real work done without feeling cramped, but still fits easily into a backpack.
Why it’s worth it
The real reason this offer works is the price. For $129.99, you get a laptop that covers the essentials for less than many tablets, and compared to a phone or small tablet setup, it’s typically easier to type on, manage schoolwork, and manage multiple tabs.
Just keep expectations within specs. 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage are sufficient for basic ChromeOS, but are not suitable for intensive multitasking, large downloads or creative apps that require a full Windows or macOS computer. If you’re looking for a laptop for serious photo/video editing or modern PC gaming, this isn’t the category. If you’re looking for a basic school and web laptop at a great price, this is it.
The end result
At $129.99This Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Go offers great value for students and anyone who needs a straightforward ChromeOS laptop for browsing, documenting and streaming. If you know you’ll need more power or more local storage, it’s better to spend more up front – but for basic school supplies on a tight budget, this deal is hard to beat.
