A $159 Chromebook was my only computer for a week - how it changed my mind about cheap laptops
The Asus CX15 is a great budget choice for students, kids, or anyone needing a simple device for everyday tasks - with a Full HD display and fast-charging battery.
In terms of physical form, the 15-inch Asus CX15 isn't exactly the lightest Chromebook on the market at 3.5 pounds, but the plastic body feels durable enough, especially for a classroom device that will be used by multiple students throughout the day. It also comes in four colorways that give it some character: Pure Grey, Fabric Blue, Cream Pink, and Misty Green, a nice change of pace from the sea of corporate gray and white laptops -- and something that will appeal to younger users. The 15.6-inch, 16:9 FHD display caps out at 300 nits of brightness and isn't the most premium, but the matte coating looks just fine navigating ChromeOS, working in NotebookLM, Gmail, or on YouTube, with the 1080p resolution giving the device more bang for its buck.
