Act fast and you can save up to $300 on some class Chromebook deals this Prime Day. If you're hunting down an affordable and easy-to-use laptop, they fit the bill nicely. Their lightweight, simplistic design and user interface make them the perfect machine for light work and home duties, and for just keeping down by the side of the sofa.

It isn't always about the crazy, high-end gaming computers or the multi-thousand dollar enterprising behemoths; while those machines certainly have their place (we've covered many of those fantastic computers with our Prime Day laptop deals), some people prefer things to be cheaper, lighter and most importantly, easier to understand. That's where the Chromebooks come in.

Chromebooks generally aren't known for their stellar specs - instead, it's all about the functionality afforded by Chrome OS. This is an ultra-light operating system that runs a full host of Google software, including alternatives to pricey Windows/Mac programs. That list features Docs (akin to Microsoft Word), Sheets (similar to Excel), and Slides (like Powerpoint). They all work just as well as their Microsoft equivalents. 

It's worth remembering that many Chromebooks also offer 2-in-1 functionality (laptop to tablet) for a fraction of the cost of an x86 (Windows) model. In fact, the vast majority of them utilize touchscreens for an Android tablet-like user experience which adds another string to their bow.

Below you will find some stellar Chromebook deals that range from the most wallet-friendly to the premium offerings.
