Black Friday Chromebook deals are starting to roll ahead of Black Friday, Nov. 29 — the most anticipated shopping event of the year.

I track prices throughout the year with The Camelizer and I've been covering Black Friday for six years, so here's a tidbit. You don't necessarily have to wait until Black Friday to get the lowest price on a Chromebook.

It's now a little over a week into November and retailers are already offering 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 can't justify spending a fortune on a laptop, you'll benefit from this season's Black Friday savings on Chromebooks. Whether you want an affordable laptop for school, remote work, and/or travel, here are 7 early Black Friday Chromebook deals to snag now.
