This Chromebook is good as new — at a bargain price. (Amazon)(Amazon)
Chromebooks are budget-friendly under normal circumstances, but this renewed HP Chromebook 11.6 — down from $260 to a mere $80 — is a mind-blowing deal. When was the last time you bought a laptop for the same price as a nice dinner? If you're worried about buying used, there's no need: Every renewed product on Amazon is inspected by pros for optimal performance and comes with a 90-day Amazon Renewed Guarantee.

This little powerhouse is 70% off. Now, we could tell you that this is the lowest price we've ever seen for this model, but is that really necessary? It's a laptop for 80 bucks. That's a mind-boggling steal.
This lightweight Chromebook is just right for on-the-go browsing and convenience. Now, don't get me wrong — you won't do anything that requires a lot of power on this laptop. No Excel spreadsheets or Photoshop! But you can use it for things like light word processing and web browsing. Want a sturdy little computer in the kitchen to access all of your recipes and cooking videos? Chef's kiss!
It has a 1.1GHz processor (pretty slow by most standards), as well as 4GB 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 needs a laptop capable of running Cyberpunk 2077 at max settings. If you want something that will let you check out Facebook or browse the web for great deals (you know, like this one), this Chromebook is perfect. And there's nothing wrong with buying a refurbished machine, especially when it comes with Amazon's Renewed guarantee.
This little laptop has hundreds of fans. In fact, over 100 of these refurbished Chromebooks have been snapped up in the past month.
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," the 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 [and] 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."
Other users loved the size. "Great compact size to take with us on the go. So impressed with this."
A few buyers did notice some (expected) cosmetic wear and tear. "The downside is that there is a little scratch on the back."
"I like it I think, I am not tech-savvy so the operating system is not what I'm used to. But I'm learning," said this four-star buyer. "The biggest issue I have is there is no HDMI port. I have to buy an adapter. And there is no backspace button. All of which are my fault. I should have done more research. Overall, good product and does what it says."
