I track deals all year round, and the best Chromebook deals in April are known to offer solid discounts.

Amongst today's laptop sales are plenty of excellent deals on Chromebooks made in collaboration with Google. If you're due for a spring tech refresh, there are plenty of savings on Chromebooks made by laptop brands Acer, Asus, HP, Lenovo, and Samsung to be had.

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 encountering the 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 71,4 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:
