There are so many great laptops for students these days, but they can be quite expensive - particularly for Windows and Mac machines. Enter the Chromebook, with a lightweight OS that's less demanding and therefore doesn't require powerful hardware.
Walmart is offering the Acer Chromebook 315 for just $199, as well as a $249 version since it doubles the storage - ideal for storing files and installing apps from the Play Store. Both are great deals, though we'd lean on the latter if you can afford it. Given 64GB is about the same storage as a standard smartphone, be sure to weigh up whether it's enough for you - particularly if you manage a lot of files and documents across multiple apps. if you need more, we'd say shell out the extra $50.Overview: This Chromebook offers great Wi-Fi, a large display, and 12.5 hours of battery life.Price history: This deal represents the lowest price we've seen the Acer Chromebook 315 go for, with Amazon still charging full price.
Don't buy it if: You use specialized apps that require Windows or Mac, or you want a machine with more power under the hood.
