There’s a point where buying a budget computer stops being a compromise and starts being logical. And this new open-box ASUS Chromebook CM30 (2024) lands squarely there. For $149.99 (MSRP $329.99), this is not a “cheap laptop” — it’s a “smart everyday device.”
This 2-in-1 Chromebook is designed for how people actually use computers now — browser tabs, documents, streaming, email, light editing, note-taking — not rendering Pixar movies. Powered by a MediaTek Kompanio 520 chip with 8GB RAM, it handles multitasking comfortably without sluggishness.
The ASUS Chromebook’s 10.5-inch WUXGA touchscreen turns the experience tablet-smooth, and the included push-pop stylus makes it surprisingly good for annotating PDFs, sketching, or handwritten notes. Snap on the detachable keyboard, and it instantly becomes a travel laptop. Pull it off, and you’ve got a media tablet.
Connectivity is modern, too: Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, USB-C, dual cameras, and up to 12 hours of battery life — meaning you’ll likely charge it less often than your phone.
And because ChromeOS handles updates and security automatically, this works especially well as a family computer, school device, kitchen screen, or portable machine.
New, open-box units are typically unsold retail inventory. In practice: unused, tested, and fully functional — just without the shrink wrap. The discount is due to packaging, not performance.
You’re basically getting three devices (tablet, laptop, and note-taking slate) for less than many keyboards alone.
For casual productivity, travel, school, or a clutter-free secondary computer, this offer makes a lot of sense.
Get this new, open-box ASUS Chromebook CM30 (2024) for $149.99 (MSRP $329.99) for a limited time.
