I'm typing my message on this exact Chromebook. I bought it for $250 back in the summer. It has been great, though as mentioned above, a backlit keyboard would be nice.

It comes with a year of Gemini Advanced and 2 TB of storage. When I tried to activate the offer, I got a cryptic message about my account not being eligible. After a useless exchange with Google Support that took over a week, they ended by saying the device was not eligible. English comprehension ain't their strong suit! I finally figured out that it was because my Google account was part of a Google Family group. I had to disassociate the account to activate the trial.

You can re-create the Family Group after activating the trial and share the 2 TB. I saw a message that you can only do this once a year. It looks like they updated and clarified the terms of the offer to mention the problem I encountered.

Recommended. I installed their Linux support and can run Signal Desktop, Brave and Reaper in that environment.

On the question about media, the internal speakers don't get too loud, but they're fine along with the mic for Google Voice calls. The headphone jack works well with my KRK headphones, plenty of volume and clear. I can cast from Chrome, YouTube and YouTube Music to my TV with Chromecast built-in.

Brightness is fine for indoors. I lower the brightness at night. Probably 200 or 250 nits.
If you're an existing Chromebook owner, check the perks that are available to you. This showed up in mine and takes $50 off this deal in my cart:

Anniversary Celebration of Your Chromebook
Here's to many more years on Chromebook. Celebrate with $50 off purchase of a new Chromebook at Costco.com - just for you or to share with a friend. Terms apply. Costco membership required to redeem.

Get perk
This offer is only available on qualifying purchases made between October 15th and December 31st, 2024 at Costco.com and is exclusive to Chromebook users invited to celebrate their Chromebook anniversary. Offer value: $50 discount on Chromebooks sold by Costco.com Limited to one (1) use only.

https://www.google.com/intl/en_us...ook/perks/
As a device for my elderly mother-in-law, I think Chromebooks are great. I used to get calls about malicious pop-ups and error messages all the time with Windows 10. With a Chromebook, I maybe get a call every 6 months or so. Best Christmas gift we could have gotten her (to preserve my sanity).

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank nrq007

I needed 2 Chromebooks so followed the instructions on kids old chromebooks and generated 2x $50 codes but although the limit is 2 only 1 $50 code works per account, so I had to place 2nd order using $50 code from wife's account.. $174.22 including shipping and tax is very nice price for this.

Will this connect to 2 screens via usb-c? I have a dell docking station for my work computer and hoping to be able to swap out the computer and use both screens with different content on each.
I don't see why not, but you'd have to test it to verify. Still, how would you charge if you don't use a dock?

Tried to use an ancient Acer C720 chromebook to get a code, but the perks page doesn't show any offers at all when I use the browser on this chromebook. Probably the chrome browser is too old (and it can't be updated) to render the page properly. I notice a lot of other web sites don't render properly either on this chromebook.

Is the $15 shipping and handling also applied to "ship to warehouse"? In case of returning this item, will I lose the shipping and handling charge? TIA
When I tried the $15 shipping also applied to 'ship to warehouse'. And a little research says that Costco does refund shipping fees if you return the item.

I also tried "ship to warehouse" in the cart to find out about the shipping fee. Good thing that the fee is refundable. Thanks for your reply.

I bought an Acer Chromebook spin 514 from Costco a while back. I recall it was on sale but the tax is based on the original amount and not the discounted amount... does that still apply here? How much are you paying in tax?


This chromebook is $200 but someone says as long as you bought a Chromebook before you get a $50 discount? Can someone explain how that works? I have a Chromebook bought from Costco a while back but that was when I was added as a member. I am no longer a member. I did buy an older Chromebook before this. So does this mean I have 2 Chromebook codes or just one? That older Chromebook was bought off Amazon years ago and there are no more software updates as that laptop is way too old.


So could I have a friend who is a current costco member order it online and do this? But the laptop has to ship to their home or it could be fine? I would be paying them cash for it. The thing is how would I give them the discount code? So it would be $150 total Plus how much tax? Then another $15 in shipping so it comes to around $180 total? Or it comes to around $200 total because they do the tax on $349 and not $150?

Tax is based on your location, in my case it was on the lower price. Initially tax was on $200, after the $50 coupon i was taxed on $150. the code is like a coupon code. it has to be used when placing the order. Share it with him, he will enter it when placing the order. If you have extra coupons give it to someone else here. Many are requesting for it.

go to the website on your cromebook, google will let you know if you qualify. if you do, the coupon code will show up.
Make note of it, when placing the order on costco this will be entered on the coupon code area.

I have a Chromebook which I bought from BestBuy last year. I am trying to redeem the perk, but it fails. Has anybody experienced this issue?

You need to use your Chromebook (probably chrome browser) as it'll check your Chromebook and give you a code if eligible. I tried searching for this code in my mobile device and didn't come up with anything. It then showed up when ON my old Chromebook. Hope this helps
