I think it is the same model. Officeworks calls it CX55. JB calls it CX5 in the title, but CX55 everywhere else in the item description.
Yes, they are both model CX5501FEA-NA0267
It's under Specifications on the officeworks page.
5% price beat??? avaliable?
Still doesn't quite meet Chromebook Plus specs. Are there many/any Plus models in Australia for a similar price?
Officeworks is showing some Asus Chromebook Plus models.
I understand this is a cheap laptop, but Chrome and 8GB on the same line?
Also can you install windows on these or upgrade RAM/SSD? Or everything is sealed for life like Apple?
Chrome doesn't need large amounts of RAM like Microsoft does, 8 GB should be fine - which I have - unless you're doing high intensive video editing or graphics work, but I don't use that. I have Microsft 365 downloaded on my 4 year old Chromebook. It is running a 8th gen Core m3 chip with 64GB hard drive. Unsure about this model about upgrading RAM/SSD, but I have never encounter a Chromebook that you have been able to upgrade. YMMV
Cool, thanks mate. Did a bit of googling, not easy to install windows either.
Ideally Chromebooks are for those who "live in the cloud". I use one for both work and leisure. This runs a full browser unlike say an Android tablet so you can run full extensions like UOrigin or Adblock etc. You can also run Linux apps and Android apps. I probably use Chrome 80%, Linux 10%, Android 10%. Will not be for everyone but the price, speed, ease of updates, security etc make these a great tool if they suit your needs. Running a Lenovo Flex 5i i5-11 gen, 8GB , 256GB, cost me around $500.

This is a different model so can’t price match?
