#1. I just got this unit used from Best Buy, it was rated as "GOOD" and I paid $250. It came in a genetic box with the charger only, nothing else. Seems like the first owner handled the unit while eating pizza because it was dirty and Geek Squad didn't bother to wipe it off before trying to resell it. The unit only had one charging cycle, so it wasn't used for very long. #2. The short version, is a really good unit for its intended purpose. The built. It is all plastic, but very sturdy, not flimsy, hefty but not heavy, very portable. The display hinge is strong, the panel doesn't move too much as I type. The keyboard doesn't flex, nothing flex, very well built and put together. The keyboard is very comfortable, the keys have a good travel and feel, and I don't seem to make many mistakes, good keyboard but not back lid. The track pad is good, it has a good click to it, it is accurate and it has good palm rejection, as I am typing this the cursor doesn't jump anywhere. The Speed. It doesn't seem to lag, it feels very snappy to me while I am using it. It doesn't overheat, I have it on my lap right now touching my bare skin and I don't feel any heat. The Display. Manage your expectations. If you are coming from an iPad M4 with dual tandem super AMOLED display, this Chromebook is not going to look great. But after using it for a while, it actually doesn't look that bad, the text is pretty sharp for its low resolution, and the colors are super accurate, when watching movies on Netflix or Youtube, skin colors look natural. The only fault to this display is that instead of going with a gloss finish, they decided to use a mat finish on the panel, which does affect the quality, sharpness and vividness of the colors. So, if media consumption is your thing, this is not the device for you. In my case, I bought this device to be my take with me everywhere journal, a machine where I can write everything that happened at the end of the day and how I felt. For that purpose, this display is perfect, easy on the eyes, sharp enough, excellent viewing angles with natural colors, the colors doesn't shift with the angle of the panel, you can approach the display for any angle and it looks the same, no color shift. Can't comment on reliability because I only had it for a day, but so far no issues with connecting to the internet, everything works as it should, and it feels sturdy so I don't perceive it falling apart on me. It feels like it can take a drop and survive. The Lenovo competing model to this one does have a gloss display and thus the colors pop a bit more, but they all have the same sharpness and image quality. Aspect ratio. I remember when all laptops had a standard 4:3 aspect ratio and as the display quality got better we started to see more 16:9 aspect ratio for media consumption. I don't know why they choose 16:9 on this machine instead of 16:10 which seems more appropriate for what this machine will most likely be used for my must people, typing, researching and surfing. The 16:9 ratio chop off a good portion vertically and that is a negative. Color White, I never taught I would like laptop in white, but this is the second machine I got in white and I love it. I always fear that it will get dirty with time, but in terms of looks and appeal, I love it. Speakers. I always use headphones, so the speakers quality doesn't matter much to me. The speakers here are good for pod cast, spoken word, but I would not use it for media consumption, not much base and not very detailed. But they are loud enough. Ports, I love that it has a charging USB C port on each side so you can charge from both sides. It has two more USB A and an HDMI port which are all useless to me, I wish they would just get rid of all those ports and just make the machine slimmer. Conclusion, I wish it had a better display, everything else is good. The problem is that right now there are very few Chromebooks with sharp displays and the ones available are very expensive. At that point, if you are going to pay north of $700 for a Chromebook, you better just get a MacBook Air for $800 and you will have the best of the best.

The ASUS Chromebook Plus CX3402 14” Laptop is a sleek, high-performing device, perfect for multitasking with its Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB memory, and 128GB SSD. The 14-inch Full HD display is vibrant, and Google AI features boost productivity. Lightweight, with long battery life and a stylish Pearl White finish, it’s an excellent choice for work and play.

I was not sure what to expect given the low price of this Chromebook. I did not see touch screen in the description but I was pleasantly surprised that it does have one! It is quick and responsive whether using the mouse touch pad or the touch screen. It comes loaded with Google Chrome. Once logged in, all my passwords, information and documents were immediately available. The processor works great for my needs at work. It boots up quickly, tabs and applications open with ease and I am able to be up and running right away. The pearl white color is sleek and different than the usual gray or black that most Chromebooks come in. It is thin and lightweight. I use the camera (covered when not in use for security) and microphone for video meetings and the sound and picture are great. I have no issues with lagging or dropped signals. I also like that is comes with and HDMI port. We have a large screen to share information in our conference room and I am able to connect and display documents and pictures for the team. It is extremely surprising that such a great computer is so inexpensive. This would be great for high school or college students.

Great laptop for home use. I needed to replace an aging laptop but didn't want anything too overpriced. This offers touchscreen, good performance, great battery life, and a big screen to watch streaming on. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a new computer.

I want to share my experience with the Asus Chromebook Plus. Now you may be wondering what is the big deal about this device? And what makes it worthy of the “plus” moniker. There is a whole lot to like here with this device but your milage may vary. I have the Intel Core i5 variant and it sure is fast. But of course, this is just my opinion on this device as you may feel differently. It is no secret that Asus has come under fire for recent events. I wish to simply say that I have been fortunate to having products that have not failed me. So, I want to make it clear that I do no have any bias for or against Asus as consumer. Without further ado let’s have a look at what Asus has to offer here with their latest and greatest. This CB Plus so far with the time I have spent with it has been great. Upon receipt you’ll receive a basic looking box with the usual contents the device, a 45-watt charger and documentation. Picking up the CB for the first-time man it felt great. It is lightweight and feels nice to the touch it is more plastic like but not a cheap and brittle like plastic that would break overtime. I really prefer the white color as it matches with my ROG Ally and anyone who has used a Chromebook can speak for the simplicity that it offers. :::I&O::: This CB has a lot of I&O you will find four USB ports in total two type c, and two type a. Both type c can be used for charging. An HDMI port is included as well, not bad for a Chromebook I say. And I almost forgot to mention a combo mic/headphone jack, although I don’t see why when you could just use a pair of BT headphones. The Core i5 is great for a device like this so not much can slow it down there is an i5-1335U and a solid 8GB of ram. As far as storage is concerned this particular model has 128GB UFS. Wi-Fi 6E is included on the chipset and BT but I am not sure which version though. :::Display::: The display and camera are pretty decent this CB has a 1080p screen which is more than enough for what it is designed for, I am no design pro but the display looks good and the colors are accurate and not washed out. The display is plenty bright for indoor use it isn’t something you could use in direct sunlight. The camera is clear and not grainy and is most definitely usable for video calls or conferences. I tested this out using Google Meet. I like the fact that there is a privacy shutter for those who like privacy. You can never be too careful. The display has a touchscreen and you wouldn’t guess it by looking at it. And it is a matte display which in my opinion is better than a glossy display. The bezels are thin and the screen to display ratio is rather nice and exaggerated like some other Chromebooks. :::Battery::: One thing that Chromebooks are notorious for is their battery life it isn’t unheard to have 8+ hours of battery life. Of course, this all depends on your usage. I myself with mixed use of media and work found roughly 9hours of battery life on a single full charge with 40% brightness and volume at 35%. Keyboard The keyboard feels nice and the keys do not stick and have a good clicky feel to them it is a full-sized key board without the number pad. The touchpad is big and responsive. It really adds to the overall experience. :::Pros & Cons::: Pros: - Fast (great components) - Aesthetically pleasing (Pearl White color) - Touchscreen - Long battery life Cons: - No stylus included - No backlit keyboard :::General Thoughts::: It is really impressive to see how far Chromebooks have come in such little time. I recall when they first released, they were nothing more than a glorified netbook but it just kept improving overtime. And now I only use Chromebooks and Windows laptops. I have owned several CB’s over the years and this CB Plus is amongst my favorites. While I am not sure if not having a backlit keyboard is a big deal, I do wish that a stylus was included. I suppose that is for the more premium models. If you want it all then do yourself a favor and fully spec out this model and you’ll practically would have it all in a small package. For what you get I can’t really complain as this is one solid device. The display is solid, keyboard is great and battery life is top notch. :::TL;DR::: You want a good priced Chromebook with solid specs and performance then look no further you just may have found what you are looking for here.

I saw this device and was immediately drawn to it. It didn't look like normal Chromebooks. Very sleek, great looking design. Clear display. Great hardware and all for a great price. I had to jump on it. Keyboard feels great, trackpad is good. Battery has been great. Spent a whole work day on it without any issues. The only thing I would point out is that opening it feels like it puts too much pressure unless I ease it up directly from the center. Other than that, definitely would recommend it. Fantastic little display.

The ASUS 14" Chromebook Plus is a sleek and efficient laptop powered by an Intel Core i5 1335U processor, complemented by 8GB of memory and a 128GB SSD. It offers a robust performance suitable for various tasks, from everyday computing to more demanding applications, all while benefiting from the speed and simplicity of Chrome OS. This ASUS Chromebook Plus features a minimalist and elegant design, with a lightweight and portable build that makes it easy to carry around. Its 14-inch Full HD display (1920x1080) offers crisp and vibrant visuals, perfect for both work and entertainment. The thin bezels enhance the viewing experience, providing an immersive display within a compact frame. The keyboard is comfortable to type on, with well-spaced keys and a surprisingly responsive touchpad, making it ideal for long typing sessions. Equipped with an Intel Core i5 1335U processor and 8GB of RAM, the Chromebook Plus delivers smooth and responsive performance. Whether you're multitasking, streaming videos, or running productivity apps, the laptop handles tasks efficiently without lag. I found it very snappy when using Google Docs and Chrome and it obviously integrated seamlessly with my Google account. This is not a gaming laptop as it only has integrated Intel graphics. You can play the Chrome OS version of Minecraft on it, but nothing more graphically intensive. The obvious main drawback is that Chrome OS may not support certain software applications available on Windows or macOS. The 128GB SSD provides fast boot times and quick access to files, significantly improving overall performance compared to traditional hard drives. While 128GB may seem limited, Chrome OS’s integration with cloud storage solutions like Google Drive ensures you have ample space for documents and media. The 14-inch Full HD display is bright and clear, offering excellent color accuracy and wide viewing angles. It's perfect for watching videos, editing photos, or working on presentations. It is also a touchscreen so if you prefer the touchscreen capabilities of a tablet device also with the keyboard and functionality of a laptop, this Chromebook is perfect for you. This device can lie nearly perfectly flat when opened, so if you want to use the touchscreen for creative applications such as creating artwork you can. The ASUS Chromebook Plus boasts impressive battery life, allowing you to work or play for extended periods without needing to recharge. On average, it provides around 8 hours of use on a single charge, making it a reliable companion for a full day of activities. This Chromebook includes a variety of ports, such as (2) USB-C, (2) USB-A, and HDMI, providing flexibility for connecting peripherals and expanding storage. The inclusion of Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) ensures fast and stable internet connectivity. WiFi 7 would have been nice to have, but that standard isn’t as widespread as of early 2024 so its not that big of a deal. Running on Chrome OS, the ASUS Chromebook Plus benefits from quick boot times, automatic updates, and built-in virus protection. It also supports Google Play Store apps, expanding its versatility with a wide range of applications for both productivity and entertainment. I found this Chromebook more fun to use than my Windows laptop for simple everyday tasks such as emailing from the couch and checking on box scores on ESPN while watching the game on the TV because ChromeOS is more responsive than Windows 11. It just feels snappier and this Chromebook itself is light as a feather at just 3.97 pounds and 0.82” thin so it is very easy to carry around. The ASUS 14" Chromebook Plus Laptop is an excellent choice for those seeking a powerful yet portable device. Its robust performance, impressive display, and long battery life make it suitable for a wide range of users, from students to professionals. While the limited onboard storage and Chrome OS’s software compatibility might be a drawback for some, the overall value, performance, and efficiency of this Chromebook make it a standout option in its category.

I was very curious to this new Chromebook Plus branding. I've used Chromebooks for years, and really invested into the higher end models made by Google and Asus. Chromebook Plus are supposed to have premium increased specifications but with the same affordability as Chromebooks. So I was curious about these new Plus brands, and got my hands on this 14" CX-34 by Asus. As with the new branding, this comes with an impressive Core i5 processor, 128 GB storage, 8GB RAM, a slew of IO, Touchscreen, and an amazing battery life that just creates a very high level versatile machine. At just under 1.5 kgs, this is very lightweight despite packing all of that power. Right off the bat, I was immediately drawn to the white finish of this Chromebook. It is not entirely flat white, but has this off-white color that looks stunning. The build feels really solid and I was surprised that this hinge can lower the screen 180-degrees back. I supposed this is for easy screen sharing. This makes sense as this would support the reason why this is touchscreen. The touchscreen is responsive, and a much welcomed versatility. As with all Chromebooks, signing into my Google account was simple and right away I was able to start using the Google suite and going online. Speaking about the screen, it has a matte finish so it is easier on the eyes and was plenty bright even in well lit natural lighted rooms. Right at the top and centered of the screen is the webcam that offers stunning crisp detail. There is a privacy shutter that can be used to ensure that it is not accidentally turned on and recording. The keyboard is where I feel they could have made the experience better. It is not backlit which is a challenge when wanting to type in bed at night time. The key travel is good, and the keys themselves are a little on the loud side when I am typing away. The touchpad is 5.7" and offers really good responses to my fingers. I like that they give you this area size to work with that really just enhances the keyboard experience. The Core i5 1335U processor is the main feature of this Chromebook. I found that this has been a very snappy computing experience, no lagging when going onto high resolution pics-heavy websites, streaming videos online, browsing, and of course utilizing the Google Suite for all of my work projects. As my hospital uses Google suite, this has been my primary work computer for the past few weeks. Getting through and creating/using the Slides, Docs, and Drive was seamless and effortless. I was really impressed at the processing power of this Chromebook, and with 128GB of storage, I was able to download many documents on here. This also has an amazing battery life. Asus has it rated at 10hours of mixed usage, and I was getting about 8-9 hours in my daily use. The speakers are down firing below the palm rests so it can get loud as the sound is shot down and sideways. I do wish the speakers were higher on the device (like on the sides of the screen) to give you a better immersive experience. It does give you a 3.5mm audio jack for plug in or you can use your bluetooth speakers. It also has good IO support: 2 USB-A and 2 USB-C ports (1 USB-C is on the left), and a HDMI port. As this utilzes the Google Play Store, the major drawback to this Chromebook (and all others) is the lack of apps compatibility. Many apps are configured for Android phones, so they come off awkwardly sized on the screen, and it is very noticeable with this 14" screen. Android app developers really need to get on this, a feature that the other fruit company has seemed to integrate really well with their devices. It does get a little warm when on the lap so be careful on how long you have it there. Overall, I am really impressed with the Asus CX-34. This is now my go-to work computer and it has been a joy to use for personal entertainment device.

I honestly love this ASUS CX3402 Chromebook Plus. The 14" FHD touch screen is super sharp and responsive, and it feels really smooth to use with the Google AI features built in. The Intel Core i5 keeps everything fast, even with multiple tabs and apps open, and 8GB of memory is more than enough for my daily work and streaming. The 128GB SSD makes it quick to boot up, and the pearl white finish looks clean and stylish. Lightweight, easy to carry, and perfect for on-the-go. Couldn’t be happier with it.

The ASUS Chromebook Plus CX3402 is a solid choice for students who need a reliable, no-fuss laptop. It’s lightweight, durable, and has a crisp 14” Full HD display that’s easy on the eyes. With an Intel Core i3, 8GB RAM, and smooth ChromeOS performance, it handles schoolwork, video calls, and multitasking with ease. The backlit keyboard and 1080p webcam are great for studying and online classes. Battery life is decent (around 8–10 hours), though not class-leading. Overall, it’s a well-rounded Chromebook that offers great value for student use.

The CX34 is the latest 14" Chromebook Plus Laptop, with an Intel i5 processor (1335U), 8GB DDR5 Memory and a 128GB SSD. From ASUS (CX3402), it comes in either – Pearl White or Black. I tested the 13th Generation (the latest intel CPU series). The SSD is based on the UFS interface (same fast memory as used in smartphones; low power, high speed; soldered to the motherboard. Likewise, the DDR5 memory is soldered to the motherboard, it appears to be dual channel (and it can't be upgraded). There is a M.2 interface which contains a removable AX211NGW network interface module. This supports 2.4G, 5G & 6G WiFi. With WiFi 7 being just down the road having the networking module independent, so it can be upgraded, is an advantage. This laptop has a 14" touch screen (FHD (1920 x 1080) 16:9) with an anti-glare display. It weighs 3.17lbs (1.44 kg). It is only 3/4" thick (and 12.85" x 8.44"). It has 2 USB A 3.2 Gen 1 ports and 2 USB 3.2 C Gen 1 ports both support display & power delivery. It also has a HDMI 1.4 port and a 3.5mm Audio port. It includes an array microphone that can be used with the built-in Google Assistant (voice-recognition support) and a 1080p FHD camera that has a privacy shutter. The trackpad is a huge 5.7" (diag), which is remarkably responsive. The screen has a 180 degree lay flat hinge. Initial installation is and set up is very easy (especially if you already have a chrome account). All you need to do is select your WiFi network, supply its password, and you're off and running. The machine auto updates its firmware and OS on initial setup. You provide your Google Id/Pass and you're up and running with the full suite of Google tools. Google has defined a minimum set of specifications that a Chromebook Plus must meet. This includes having a full HD screen, fast modern memory, and modern CPU and multiple IO ports. The plus version is intended to provide fast performance. My biggest issue is that the USB IO ports are only USB 3.2 Gen 1 versus Gen 2, or supporting thunderbolt. This means instead of supporting data transfer at over 1024Mbp/s it only supports 400Mbp/s, and without Thunderbolt 3 compatibility high speed peripherals are crippled. I'd love to add an external 10Gbps USB C External Portable NVMe M.2 SSD drive, but it would be 20 times slower than it could with full USB 3.2 Gen 2/Thunderbolt support. Given the cost of this "highend" chromebook, this deficiency is regrettable. I used it on my 1gb WiFi network with very snappy performance. The chiclet keyboard is very responsive, it has very nice key travel. The full HD web camera was a great pleasure to use with Zoom, the microphones picked up my voice very clearly and I was very happy with the quality of my image. I ran Google Chrome with over 10 tabs open and didn't notice any lag or issues with performance. Asus claims the battery life is up to 10hrs. I used it throughout the day as I would generally use my notebook, and found that I got just over 8 hrs of runtime before the 10% battery warning was delivered. I was running with the screen brightness at 90%. I hooked up a USB C expansion hub and encountered no issues. The multi screen functionality worked excellent. I found that Google Photos and its editing tool worked extremely excellent. The Android App store is available, I didn't spend much time exploring them, but presume that install and work as expected. Powering the laptop up and down is a joy, when turning it on (if a known network is available) you are up and running in under two seconds. Power down in under one second. Wow, and the screen is very nice to use, but it's not suitable to use outdoors (this did not surprise me). I do wish I could have increased the memory, but can't say I found a time when it was really necessary. I already keep 200gb on line with Google, I've been very happy with Google Drive and Google One over the years, I'll probably upgrade to their 2TB plan in the near future (10x the storage for 3x more per year). I've been working on getting my 60K of Photos better organized. These new AI tools within the Google Ecosystem will probably finally get that done (I love searching my photos using names, I just have to spend the time to "learn" google more of "my people". I've been testing Gen AI for several months and I'm really getting hooked on it. Chromebook Plus also enables enhanced AI features within Google Photos like 'Magic Eraser' and other enhanced editing features, like an HDR effect and the ability to add "portrait background blur" to your existing photos. I expect more AI features to be included in the future. Google said that they will be bringing the power of Google’s AI capabilities directly into ChromeOS 5, which will first be available to Chromebook Plus users (later in 2024). I'm quite happy with my new Chromebook Plus, and look forward to it getting better, just wished it supported high speed peripherals.

As someone who relies heavily on technology for both work and personal use, buying a new laptop was a big decision for me. After doing a lot of research, I finally decided to invest in a mid-to-high-end model—and I can honestly say it was worth every penny. From the start, the performance of this laptop exceeded my expectations. The speed and responsiveness are impressive, especially when multitasking or running heavy programs. Whether I’m editing videos, joining Zoom meetings, or just browsing with multiple tabs open, everything runs smoothly without lag. It’s a huge upgrade from my old device and has made daily tasks much easier and more enjoyable.

This Chromebook is perfect for regular everyday use. I needed something for basically Google docs, web browsing/shopping, and streaming, and this knocks all those out of the park. Bluetooth connections to mouse and earbuds/headphones also work great, and having a touchscreen is also super-convenient. Incredible value, and super-lightweight too!

The Chromebook has allowed me to work, while traveling. Battery life,speed and screen quality is great!

This Asus Chromebook really hits the perfect balance of price, performance, screen size and weight. My use case for this laptop is for school use (browsing, email, presentation development, lightweight spreadsheets) and this unit is perfect for these tasks. Battery life is strong - lasting the whole school day, with enough life left for evening homework. With regards to reliability, so far so good with no intermittent crashes. Only a month in to using it, yet feels at least as good as the HP Chromebook it replaced, definitely a better value than the HP.

Good laptop! Fast performance, nice design, and long battery life. Perfect for work. Definitely worth the price. Highly recommend for daily use or school!

Right when I got it I was pleased with it. Im a huge person for longer battery life and I know that’s a Chromebook but with the fast processor and ram I haven’t had an issue yet. Will for sure recommend this laptop to someone

This is my first time using a Chromebook. However, my experience thus far has been great. I like the ease of use and all the features this chromebook provides. My only dislike is the fact this particular model does not have backlighting for its keyboard. However, this is not a deal breaker for me. I am pleased with my purchase.

Very impressed with the performance of this Chromebook. The core i5 and 8gb ram would be lower end for a Windows PC but it makes this Chromebook fly. The screen is sharp and the anti-glare is great. Touchscreen works as expected but I don’t usually use it. 14” is perfect for portability. I’ll dock it to a monitor with the USB C if I need more screen size. Seems solidly built and has ports most chromebooks don’t (like hdmi and two full size USBs). A huge upgrade from my previous dual-core 4gb ram Chromebook. Wish it had an SD card reader but that’s not a deal breaker.
