If you're thinking, "New year, new laptop," but need something straightforward and affordable, then you should definitely consider a Chromebook. These laptop-like devices cover all the basics without breaking the bank — especially when they're half-off.

As of Dec. 30, the ASUS CXB170CKA Chromebook (Intel Celeron N4500, 64GB RAM, 64GB eMMC) is down to $189 at Best Buy, which is $200 off. That's a discount of 53%. And if you're looking to buy one for yourself and somebody else, you can essentially purchase two for the price of one right now.

The 17.3-inch Chromebook is less than an inch thick, and it arrives with full HD resolution that provides you with better screen clarity and color quality than a standard HD display. The lightweight laptop carries 64GB of storage space, which helps you keep vital apps and files for work and play on hand. The built-in webcam with microphone support can connect you to your friends and family at a moment's notice, thanks to the laptop's quick boot-up time. Plus, it's a great option for adults and kids alike while traveling, as it allows you to smoothly work on emails and other work tasks offline, as well as play movies, games, and more.

The 4GB RAM memory and Intel UHD Graphics 630 card combine to provide good-quality entertainment to casual gamers and streamers. To top it off, this deal includes a Webroot antivirus protection plan for six months and a YouTube Premium package for three months (new subscribers only) at no cost.
