You Can Get This ASUS Chromebook CM30 for Just $180 Right Now

If you’ve been eyeing a lightweight, all-purpose Chromebook for casual work, school, or everyday browsing, this open-box ASUS Chromebook CM30 might be worth a closer look. Currently priced at $179.99 (down from $329.99), it’s one of those mid-range 2-in-1s that doesn’t try to be everything, but nails the basics with enough flair to feel premium. The 10.5-inch WUXGA touchscreen is responsive and sharp, and thanks to the Kompanio 520 processor and 8GB of RAM, general multitasking is smooth, whether you’re juggling docs, Google Meet, or your Spotify tab. ChromeOS keeps things lean and fast, and you also get stylus support for quick notes or digital doodles.

It helps that the whole device is wrapped in a sturdy aluminum shell (made with 30% recycled materials), giving it that slightly rugged, school-bag-ready feel without adding bulk. The detachable magnetic keyboard is full-sized and easy to type on, and the included stand cover lets you switch between laptop and tablet mode without a fuss. The battery claims up to 12 hours of life, and while real-world usage may land a bit under that, you’ll still comfortably get through a school or work day without hunting for an outlet (which is really all you can ask from a sub-two-pound machine). Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 keep connectivity solid, and the Titan C security chip adds a layer of peace of mind.
