The Asus Chromebook Plus CX34 is at one of its lowest prices

The Asus Chromebook Plus CX34 is a dependable laptop that doesn’t cost a fortune, despite being nearly three years old. It’s cheaper than usual right now, and you have a few options in the sub-$400 range. The option with the most storage is currently on sale for $399.99 (about $100 off recent prices) at Amazon. It has a 12th Gen Intel Core i3 processor (1215U), 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. If you don’t think you’ll need that much storage, the model with 128GB is $349.99 at Walmart, and includes a slightly faster 13th Gen Intel Core i3 processor (1315U).

Best Buy has the fastest version of the CX34 that’s discounted to $399.99. It has 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, but with the 13th Gen Intel Core i5 1335U. It should deliver significantly better performance compared to the i3 options above.

The Asus Chromebook Plus CX34 is a well-built Chromebook that delivers solid performance for the price, even if its 8GB of RAM isn’t especially impressive by today’s standards. 8GB of RAM isn’t as limiting on ChromeOS as it is on Windows 11 or macOS. Its Chromebook Plus designation means it includes access to Gemini along with a free year of Google AI Pro (access to Nano Banana and Veo via Gemini, plus 5TB of storage), along with other complimentary offers.

It’s also more powerful than many bargain bin Chromebooks; in our testing, it was snappy and responsive even with more than a dozen apps open as well as downloads and updates running in the background. We were also impressed by its sharp, 14-inch anti-glare 1080p display, along with the solid 1080p webcam. You also get a good port selection, including two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, HDMI, and a headphone jack, so you can connect an external monitor and other devices.
