Chromebooks are a different breed of laptops. They run on a Linux-based operating system developed by Google called Chrome OS and are built primarily for surfing the internet and handling modern web apps. This device stores data online and uses Google apps, eliminating the need for large hard drives where files and software are usually stored.

Amazon Prime Video free trial: Stream for a month for free
The Amazon Prime Video app icon on Roku.

If you've ever shopped on Amazon -- and these days, who hasn't? -- then you've likely heard about the option for an Amazon Prime membership. This subscription is mostly touted as a way to save on shipping costs when purchasing from Amazon, but it also comes bundled with some other handy features including access to Amazon's streaming service, Amazon Prime Video. You'll find a range of movies and shows to watch, but if you're not sure whether you need yet another streaming service, there is an option for a free trial to see if you like the service before paying for it.
Is there an Amazon Prime Video free trial?
There is indeed an Amazon Prime Video free trial, but it's tied into the Prime free trial, which lasts for a month and may or may not be available to you. To see if you're eligible, you'll need to and check. The general rule is that the Prime free trial (and by extension, an Amazon Prime Video free trial) is available to Amazon accounts that have either never signed up for a Prime trial or have not had Prime -- either a trial or paid membership -- any time in the last 12 months.

The Prime free trial is usually for 30 days, similar to the Hulu free trial. If you're not eligible for the Amazon Prime Video free trial, though, then be patient: Sometimes, Amazon will sometimes offer free trials to its loyal customers, so if you have an Amazon account (but not a Prime membership) and shop on the site regularly, you might find a Prime trial offer sitting in your inbox one day. Often, though, these are shorter seven- or 14-day trials rather than the 30-day trial. Nonetheless, it's obvious that Amazon is a bit more generous with these trial periods than other services -- there's no Disney+ free trial or Netflix free trial, for example, but it's thankfully much easier to get an Amazon Prime Video free trial.

amazon discounts prime membership for us military and veterans

Shopping online is more popular than ever, and few destinations are as universally praised as Amazon. The retailer carries nearly every product under the sun, making it a one-stop shop for all your consumer needs. Whether you're searching for a new gaming laptop or a fancy robot vacuum, there's a good chance you'll find what you need at Amazon.

Most online shoppers have probably heard of Amazon Prime -- a monthly subscription service that gets you free two-day shipping, among other perks --  though you may have been put off by its hefty fees. Despite the monthly fee (which seems to grow larger every year), anyone who uses Amazon a few times a month will find the service to be a worthwhile investment. Coupled with access to Prime Video and Prime Reading, there's a lot of value packed into Amazon Prime.
