One of the best prices yet is landing on the new Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming Chromebook to end the work week. Courtesy of Amazon, the recently-released Chromebook is now resting at $499.99 shipped. While it originally sold for $700, we’ve more recently been tracking it at $570. Today’s offer is now $70 under our previous mention and landing at the second-best price yet. It comes within $20 of the all-time low, for comparison. Lenovo’s IdeaPad Gaming Chromebook arrives with a cloud gaming focused feature set that comes powered by an Intel Iris XE graphics card. That drives the 16-inch 1440p display, which comes backed by a 120Hz refresh rate. Its i5 processor is more than capable to handle more than just gaming, and the Wi-Fi 6E support enables speedy networking to go alongside its multitasking-ready 8GB of RAM and 256GB of onboard SSD storage. We take a closer look at how that cloud gaming experience stacks up in our hands-on review.
As compelling as a lightweight design can be for slipping into your backpack and gaming away from home, there are some disadvantages like a lack of ports you may need for everyday use. That’s why we recommend spending some of your cash on Anker’s PowerExpand+ 7-in-1 USB-C Hub at $32. This will expand your machine’s I/O to accommodate legacy devices with USB-A connectors while also bringing some other slots into the mix all wrapped in an aluminum housing. It’s a great way to turn the Lenovo IdeaPad into more of a battlestation-friendly option.
On the other hand, there’s really no getting around just how good of a value Apple’s latest 10.9-inch iPad is. Now that it’s on sale for the all-time low, the $50 discount is an even better chance to score one of the best computers on the market at $399.
