  Seems outrageously expensive for the specs.

  Unless your kid requires a Chromebook for school I can't see any reason to buy this.

    Agreed. Personally i won't recommend buying any new laptop that is more than 2 years old unless its price has been marked down significantly.
    And its successor has just been announced: http://promos.asus.com/US/PR_2019/ces_chromebook_C434/index.… - will probably cost ~$800 so $100 more only

        All the more reason to get one. I've had it with Windows.

          @BadGiraffe: I have it without windows, it is a great lightweight device for browsing, nba league pass and youtubes etc…

    That price is due to the CPU. Rather than being a crappy celeron/atom model that runs like molasses, the m3 is a low-frequency/power skylake i3. It still has all the high-end features that are normally missing from x86 netbooks like AVX/AVX2, VT-x, etc.

  Memory, Graphics & Storage: 4 GB LPDDR3 1866MHz SDRAM | Intel HD Graphics 515 | Storage: 32 GB Flash Memory Solid State

  for that price i want at least 6GB ram and 64GB SSD
  even 64 is so low….

  You'd be out of your mind to pay almost $700 for this.

  Does anyone know if Asus is bringing the successor to the Australian market? I'm pretty keen on that. There are some options on that for much more storage and it's got tiny bezels too.

    Tinqer on 17/01/2019 - 18:06

    Will be interesting to see. Either way the Asus Chromebooks are often a pretty good deal shipped from Amazon US.

    Exchange rate is a bit different now.

    Edit: would have been pre-Gerry's Security Tax too.

  Wait for a deal on a ThinkPad E480 or similar, IMO. Should only be $150 more and you get:
  -real CPU not phone CPU
  -real SSD not SD card (and probably 4x capacity)
  -real OS
  -double the RAM

    It's not a phone CPU, it's a gen9 (skylake) vs the gen7/gen8 options for the E480.

      Gen 6 is Skylake, so 2 gens behind. 2 few cores, 4 fewer threads. 4.5W TDP.
      Geekbench is 2930 single core 5575 multicore which is slightly worse than an iPhone 7.

    Coxy - Your statements were so uninformed in 2019

    You do know that chromebooks are getting access to Linux apps and that chromebooks are freaking amazing. My whole company moved to chromeOS and it's been a huge success.

    People who trash chromeOS are living in the past. It's a whole new ballgame now. The cheap ones are still… Cheap but these mid range ones are so very very good for the money. So so very good.

  Don't buy any chromebook until manufacturers stop treating you like mugs with eMMC storage.
