For example, you can get Laptop Mag's recommended Galaxy Chromebook Plus for $625 ($75 off) directly from Samsung as well as Best Buy. In our Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus review, the laptop's Intel Core 3 1000U processor, paired with 8GB of RAM, easily handled 30 Google Chrome tabs simultaneously, even with five of them streaming videos at 1080p resolution.

If you're shopping around for an affordable 2-in-1 laptop, I recommend the Acer Chromebook Spin 312 for just $299 ($150 off).

Although we didn't test this exact model, we gave its 14-inch sibling, the 2024 Acer Spin Plus 714, our Editor's Choice Award.
