Amazon Prime Day is over and while many of the best Prime Day deals are no longer around, there are still a lot of tempting discounts floating about that are well worth capitalizing on. In particular, there are a number of Chromebook Prime Day deals offering some serious savings that are definitely worth looking at. We've picked out some of the best here, for those who've been holding off on investing in a new Chromebook.

Chromebooks are very popular due to their simplicity and ease of use, not to mention their generally lower price tags compared to other laptops on the market. They're a favorite among students and everyday users looking for a cheap laptop that can handle all the basics with no frills, and the beginner-friendly, accessible nature of ChromeOS helps too.

The Chromebooks we've hand-picked in the following deals will be able to handle all your basic computing needs such as schoolwork, everyday browsing, and media streaming. Keep in mind that these remaining deals may not have the same level of price-slashing as seen during the Prime Day sale itself, but nonetheless, they're still excellent bargains worthy of your consideration.

This laptop is a budget-friendly option for those who want a cheap Chromebook.

For the money, though, it's solid value, and you get up to 13.5 hours of battery life (plus HP Fast Charge tech which charges the laptop from 0% to 50% in just 45 minutes).
