Samsung Chromebook 3 gets $70 price drop during Walmart’s The Big Save

By William Hank Updated June 15, 2022

Amazon’s Prime Day is no longer alone in its efforts to dominate the summer savings season. This year, Walmart has introduced The Big Save, its own midsummer days of deals on electronics, home goods, and more, to rival Amazon’s insanely popular annual event. Deals on 4K TVs, smart speakers, and more have already been dropped, and the sales are expected to continue through July 15, a full day longer than Prime Day.

For computing-centric bargain hunters, Chromebooks are already among the more affordable laptops available, and now at Walmart as part of The Big Save, the accessible

, down from its original $229. Prime Day may get all the publicity, but Walmart’s days of deals are certainly worth a look as well.

Chromebooks have grown in popularity in recent years due to their reputation as long-lasting, low-cost alternatives to their Apple and Windows laptop counterparts. The Samsung series is led by the Samsung Chromebook Pro, but the Chromebook 3 is a fine option on its own. The Chromebook 3 packs in 4GB RAM and 16GB memory into a compact 2.5-pound, water-resistant package. Photos and videos will look crisp on the 11.6-inch display thanks to Intel HD Graphics 400. Like all Chromebooks, the Samsung Chromebook 3 features up to eight hours of battery life, letting you browse all day before powering down.

Powered by the Intel Celeron processor, and supported by Chrome OS, the Samsung Chromebook 3 is simple, yet speedy and versatile. The Google Play store offers thousands of apps, games, and more to install on your Chromebook to keep you productive, entertained, or both. Security features like built-in virus protection and automatic cloud backups give you peace of mind over your personal data, and customizable parental control features enable ever more authority over your family’s content consumption.

Now at $70 off for Walmart’s Big Save, we’d consider this Samsung Chromebook 3 a steal, but if it’s not your style, considering checking out these Amazon Prime Day Samsung Chromebook deals, as well as other cheap Chromebook options we’ve found across the web this summer. Either way, you’re sure to find a laptop you like at a price that’s tough to beat.

Hurry — Walmart’s Prime Day sale has a Samsung soundbar for $69

The Samsung HW-T400 soundbar.

You don't have to spend a lot if you want to improve the audio quality of your home theater setup, especially with this offer from Walmart for the Samsung HW-T400 soundbar. As part of the retailer's Walmart+ Week, which is its response to Amazon's Prime Day deals, you'll only have to pay $69 for the soundbar, instead of its original price of $89. That's $20 in savings on an already affordable device, but if you want it, you're going to have to proceed with the purchase right away because we're not sure how much time is left on the bargain.

Why you should buy the Samsung HW-T400 soundbar
Most of the best TVs are too thin to come equipped with premium speakers, but an easy solution to audio issues is adding a soundbar to your home theater setup. The affordable Samsung HW-T400 soundbar will do the trick for an instant improvement without breaking the bank. It's a 2.0-channel soundbar, with the "2" meaning it offers two channels -- left and right -- and the "0" meaning that it doesn't come with a separate subwoofer, according to our guide on how to buy a soundbar. However, that's because the soundbar features two built-in subwoofers and a sound duct that intensifies the bass using air vibrations, so you won't be missing out on excellent low-frequency audio.
