This lightweight laptop can go with you anywhere and is ideal for casual browsing.
Why is this a good deal?
There’s nothing wrong with buying a refurbished machine, especially when it comes with Amazon’s Renewed Guarantee. This little powerhouse is nearly 70% off. If you are willing to buy one in ‘good’ condition instead of ‘excellent’ condition, the price goes down even farther to $65.
Why do I need this?
This is a lightweight Chromebook that’s great for on-the-go browsing and convenience. Don’t get us wrong — you won’t do anything heavy on this laptop. No Excel spreadsheets or Photoshop! But you can use it for things like light word processing and browsing the web.
It has a 1.1GHz processor (pretty slow by most standards), as well as 4GB of RAM and 16GB of onboard storage. Most everything you use this machine for will need to be done in the Cloud, which is one of the reasons Google’s full suite of tools — Google Sheets, Google Docs, etc. — is so convenient.
Sure, this Chromebook isn’t a gaming machine, but not everyone wants a laptop capable of rendering high levels of detail in an image or running Cyberpunk 2077 at max settings. If you just want something that will let you check out Facebook or browse the web for a great deal (you know, like this one), this Chromebook is perfect.
What reviewers say
Not convinced? Neither was this shopper — at first. “I’m not gonna lie, I was a little nervous about buying a refurbished laptop. The shipping was super quick and it arrived in great condition,” one five-star reviewer said. “Some cosmetic wear and tear but that’s expected. Very impressed with the device i received. It’s quick and everything is in great functioning working order.”
Another user said that although the laptop was renewed, it didn’t seem like it. “I got it for my daughter’s needs…It looks brand new.”
“I had a bit of an issue that kept me from setting up this device, but after setting up a recovery key using another laptop and resetting this chromebook with the key it works great! The best part is the battery because this uses a low power processor the battery normally gives me 5 to 7 hours up time,” one user said.
