As part of the Amazon Cyber Monday deals currently out there, you can buy an Acer Chromebook for $65 off the usual price right now at Amazon making it a great budget buy if you simply need a cheap productivity-based laptop.

With a normal list price of $365, this Acer Chromebook 514 is down to just $300, saving you 18% on the usual price which works out at $65 off. That’s a big discount on an already well-priced Chromebook with plenty about it to appeal to those looking for something to use working from home or when studying.

In exchange for your $300, you get a Celeron Dual-Core processor, 4GB of memory, 32GB of eMMC storage, and a 14-inch full HD widescreen LED-backlit touchscreen display. A backlit display is always a great way to get the most out of your images and that’s just the start of the classiness emanating from this well-priced Chromebook.

While some Chromebooks look a little cheap or tacky, this Acer Chromebook looks pretty smart, even compared to the best Chromebooks out there right now. As always, you’re restricted to running Chrome OS but there are plenty of apps to download from the Google Play Store and you can use the Cloud to store all your files. The beauty behind this Acer Chromebook and other Chromebooks is the ability to be so flexible with where your files go, allowing you to focus on work rather than maintaining your system.

With a large trackpad, comfortable keyboard, and a delightfully crisp display, there’s a lot to like here and that goes even more so when you’re saving $65 on the usual price. You need to be fast though. This is an Amazon Lightning deal so once it’s gone, it’s gone.

If you’d prefer the flexibility of a ‘full’ laptop, we have plenty of great Cyber Monday laptop deals for you, focused on the very best offers out there right now.

If you're undecided between taking advantage of Chromebook deals or 2-in-1 laptop deals for your next device, you should know that you can get the best of both worlds with the Acer Chromebook Spin 311. The 2-in-1 Chromebook is on sale from Best Buy for a very affordable $129 instead of $249, for savings of $120. That's nearly half the device's original price, but we don't expect it to stay this cheap for long as its stocks won't last forever. If you're interested, you're going to have to add it to your cart and process the transaction immediately so that you don't miss out.

This HP 2-in-1 Chromebook just got a major price cut

The HP Chromebook x360 14a has two things going for it -- it's a Chromebook, which are generally cheaper than Windows-based laptops, and it's a 2-in-1 device, so it's both a laptop and a tablet. If you're interested, you can get the device for an affordable $270 from HP, following a $120 discount on its original price of $390. You'll need to proceed with the purchase immediately though, because we're not sure when the offer will end.

Why you should buy the HP Chromebook x360 14a
The components of the HP Chromebook x360 14a don't look much on paper -- the Intel Celeron N4500 processor, Intel UHD Graphics, and 4GB of RAM -- but it's capable of handling basic functions like typing documents, browsing the internet, and watching streaming content. That's because Chromebooks are powered by Google's Chrome OS, which utilize web-based apps instead of installed software that pulls down performance and slows down startups. This is also why the HP Chromebook x360 14a only comes with a 64Gb eMMC, as there's built-in support for cloud storage through Google Drive.

If you've got your sights set on the Apple Watch Ultra, you should know that discounts involving the wearable device are pretty rare. That's why you're going to want to take advantage of Amazon's $50 price cut, which brings it down to $749 from $799. It's not the biggest bargain among all the smartwatch deals that are online, but you might as well enjoy some savings when you're buying the top-of-the-line Apple Watch.

Why you should buy the Apple Watch Ultra
The Apple Watch Ultra is listed in our roundup of the best smartwatches as the best premium smartwatch for the iPhone. While it's supposedly designed for those who love outdoor adventures, regular users shouldn't ignore this wearable device. It features a gorgeous 1.92-inch display with brightness that can go up to 2,000 nits, a 49mm corrosion-resistant titanium case, water resistance of up to 100 meters, and built-in cellular so that you can call and text even when your iPhone is not nearby.
