Dealmaster: Dell Chromebook, Apple Watch, Instant Pot, and other tech deals

Greetings, Arsians! The Dealmaster is back with more deals to share today. Topping our list is an even better price on an already affordable Chromebook. Now you can get the newest model of Dell's Inspiron Chromebook 11 2-in-1 with an Intel Celeron processor, 4GB of RAM, and 32GB of eMMC storage for just $249.

The laptop version of this notebook is our current favorite Chromebook for students thanks to its utilitarian design, comfortable keyboard, and versatile port array. It's not the most exciting Chromebook to look at, but it has an impact-resistant design that makes its glossy, gray polycarbonate exterior more durable than some other Chromebooks. Its 11-inch size allows it to easily slip into a backpack, and it doesn't have as much of an impact on keyboard comfort as you'd expect. The keyboard is splash-resistant, adding another layer of protection to this machine. We also appreciate the port selection: the Inspiron Chromebook 11 includes two USB-A 3.1 Gen 1 ports, an HDMI port, an SD card reader, an audio jack, and a lock slot.

This new model has an updated Celeron processor, a convertible design, and an 11.6-inch HD touchscreen. Both the laptop and convertible versions of this machine are great for getting schoolwork done, but the 2-in-1 design makes it even easier for students to collaborate with teachers and other students when completing projects. It also makes the machine a more capable media consumption device, so it could be an affordable, all-in-one device that your child can use for both schoolwork and leisure time.

The Inspiron Chromebook 11 isn't designed to be the most powerful Chrome OS device available, but its specs will be enough to run Chrome OS well. We can only criticize it for its small size and non-backlit keyboard—otherwise, it's a solid, affordable Chromebook that does everything a student would need a laptop to do and then some.

If Chromebooks aren't your style, there are a number of other deals laptops for gamers and power-users. Companies like HP and Lenovo still have a few deals going on surrounding the Memorial Day holiday, and there are a bunch of smart TVs, smart light bulbs, and more on sale as well. Check out the full list below.
