I dont have a new Chromebook, but I wish I did; not because my laptop needs an upgrade (its fine), but because then I could take advantage of even more free offers from Google that my current Chromebook is too old to enjoy.
If you bought a Chromebook at any point within the last 180 daysreally, if its beenfewer than 180 dayssince you first set up your Google account with your Chromebookthen you definitely want to make a quick stop over to theChromebook offerspage to see all the latest deals you’re able to score.
AsAndroid Policenotes, there are two apps it’s possible for you to get for the low price of free right now:
Enlight Pixaloop(Photo-animation app; free lifetime subscription)
Noteshelf(Note-taking app, normally $10)
Additionally, it’s possible for you to get a 50% discount onINKredible Pro(dropping it to $3.99) andConcepts Essentials(dropping it to $4.99), as well as a free six-month subscription toSquid Premium(worth $6).
As always, Google offers 100GB of free storage on Google One for new Chromebook owners, but thats a limited offer: Youll get one free year of storage, at which point a paid subscription to Googles 100GB Google One service will begin unless you cancel ($2/mo).
If you do, and youve filled up your storage space, you wont be able to add anything else until you delete some of your data to bring yourself back under the free 15GB everyone gets.
So while thats a deal, its also a bit of a hook to rope you into a Google subscription offeringdont forget.
Since this is Lifehacker, Ill also offer up one other idea: If you might remember when you first set up your Chromebook (or dont mind spending a minute to look up when you purchased it or received it in the mail), set a calendar event for 179 days from whenever that day was.
Give yourself a monthly reminder until then, so it’s possible for you to check the Chromebook Offers page to see if anything new has popped up that it’s possible for you to grab.
(I dothe same kind of thingwith the Epic Stores biweekly freebies, and saving that sweet cash is worth the minute or two of my life Ill never get back.)
