The best Chromebook deals right now in May offer early Memorial Day discounts on today's best ChromeOS laptops. With Mother's Day weekend nearly here, there are plenty of last-minute deals on Chromebooks made in collaboration with Google to be had.

Whether picking up a new laptop for yourself or mom, it's a fine time to save on a Chromebook made by Acer, Asus, HP, Lenovo, or Samsung. College students, remote workers, and anyone looking for a Windows and MacBook alternative will benefit from end-of-year discounts on already modestly priced Chromebooks.

I've been using the Pixelbook Go for four years and can tell you that Chromebooks are fast-booting, battery-efficient, and easy to use. Chromebooks also support native Linux and Android apps, which is ideal for programmers and developers.

More importantly, Chromebooks are secure, less prone to viruses, and offer smooth, unproblematic system updates. You will never have to worry about seeing that dreaded Blue Screen of Death.

Many of today's Chrome OS laptops, like the Intel Core i5-charged Acer Chromebook 516 GE and Intel Ultra 5-charged Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 714, are as powerful as their counterparts. These premium Chromebooks are adequate for day-to-day tasks, video editing with Adobe Photoshop, and cloud gaming.

So if you're looking for a Mac and Windows laptop alternative, plenty of Chromebook deals are up for grabs.

From budget Chromebooks to powerful ChromeOS laptops for cloud gamers, students, and business pros, here are today's best Chromebook deals:
