Black Friday Chromebook deals are available today ahead of Black Friday, Nov. 29 — the most anticipated shopping event of the year.

I've been covering Black Friday Chromebook deals for six years and I track laptop price daily with The Camelizer year-round so here's a tidbit. You don't have to wait until Black Friday to get the lowest price on a Chromebook.

We're now in mid-November and retailers are ramping up early Black Friday deals with unprecedented discounts on Chromebooks. Just about every store has announced holiday price guarantees. That means the price of your desired product won't go any lower between now and the holidays. If by chance it does, the retailer will credit you the difference.

If you don't want to spend upwards of $1,000 laptop, this season's Black Friday Chromebook deals offer plenty of options. Whether you want an affordable laptop for school, remote work, and/or travel, see the 15 Black Friday Chromebook deals I'd snag now.
