Recycle Your Old Laptop and Save $50 on a New Chromebook Plus
If you've been toting around an old laptop, cursing the wheel of doom and wishing you could upgrade, Best Buy has an offer that can make an already affordable Chromebook even more doable. Between now and Oct. 19, if you recycle an old laptop you will save $50 on any Chromebook Plus model. To get the deal, there are a few caveats. First, you must recycle the laptop in store to get the credit, and you'll need to make sure your local store is participating. Once you've turned the laptop in, you will receive a $50 coupon toward the purchase of a new Chromebook Plus. There is only one coupon allowed per transaction, and that coupon can only be used once. It's also good to note that this coupon is not good on refurbished or open-box items, however, the discount applies to the current price. That means if the laptop is on sale, you'll save an extra $50. You can read the full disclaimer here. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. For example, the current price of the ASUS CX5601 16-inch, 2-in-1 Chromebook Plus is already discounted from $599 to just $349. Knock that extra $50 off and the price drops to $299 for a FHD Plus screen, 8GB of memory and 128GB of SSD, a $300 savings. The Acer Chromebook Plus 514 was dubbed by our team of reviewers as the best overall Chromebook. Currently the Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514, a very similar model with the added flex of a full-hinge and tablet-like usability, is on offer at Best Buy for $586. That's already a $114 discount, and with the trade-in offer, you can pick it up for $536. More Chromebook Plus deals Keep in mind that while the offer stands through Oct. 19, the prices -- and stock -- are subject to change so when you find something you like, we suggest snapping it up while it's on sale. If you're looking for more options, our deals team has rounded up the best current laptop deals, so you can compare. Why this deal matters Although it's widely agreed that Chromebooks are among the most affordable laptops and ideal for students, that doesn't mean they can't get pricey. Anytime you have the chance to save, especially by recycling an older laptop that is just taking up space, is a win. Plus, you can recycle your old laptop now and hold on to the coupon until you find exactly the Chromebook Plus you are looking for.
