I have been tracking this today and it just got reduced by another 7% just now. I thought this is a pretty good price for a 4gb chromebook.

Check out the google chromebook perks currently available - https://www.google.com/intl/en_au/chromebook/perks/
100gb cloud storage for 12 months | Get 3 months of Pixlr Premium | Get 3 months of YouTube Premium | Get 2 months of Cloud Stop Motion Premium | Get 2 months of Colorcinch | Get 3 months of Sumo Suite | Get 2 months Clipchamp Business Platinum
Netflix watching - 8+ hours according to review
Google Play store pre-installed
Power cable USB-C
Auto updating, very low maintenance

Biggest negatives are:

-US plug

-No touchscreen

-no PC gaming (but can still do Android games, or PC gaming via game streaming)

-no professional programs, like pro tools, full adobe programs, etc
(however, many alternatives exist such as pixlr for light photoshop work, and plenty of android apps including the dumbed down adobe ones)

          I had the same resolution screen on a 15.6" laptop for 3 years. Don't worry, you'll survive. For $197 it's still perfect for someone who needs it for basic tasks

      I manage hundreds of these in an enterprise environment and they run great, ChromeOS isn't as resource heavy as Windows.

    • ajthanud on 06/02/2022 - 18:37

      someone said that it looks more like a fisher price toy for a child than a flashy laptop. I think they are intimating that it will take more wear and tear than the laptops in this price range. Maybe better for school aged kids or clumsy adults…

    • ajthanud on 06/02/2022 - 18:40
      +4

      When Zooming on Chromebooks, make sure the students avoid Gallery Mode. This can overtax the Chromebook processor and cause glitching. Zoom likes to say "internet connection unstable" when it's actually something else causing issues with the session. … A high number may indicate a weak wireless or internet connection. https://www.google.com/search?q=ASUS+Chromebook+CX1+and+zoom…

    HD NanoEdge Display

    Whatever that means, 1366x768 with thick bezels is neither HD nor "NanoEdge".

    Regardless, decent price for the hardware.

    • Mitch889 on 06/02/2022 - 18:49

      They skate through with HD as technically HD is 1280x720, and Full HD is 1920x1080. Will still be an awful display though.

      • ATangk on 06/02/2022 - 21:08

        Ah so when you watch native HD content, you can have a 43 (w) x 34 (h) pixel NanoEdge border on your screen.

        • Mitch889 on 06/02/2022 - 22:17

          Everyone knows the cinematic experience is improved with an inter washed out border to separate from the outer grey border!

  • Mitch889 on 06/02/2022 - 18:48

    Cheap, but go in with your eyes open. No updates after less than 2.5 years really does make this pretty disposable.

      Just the difference between bloated Windows + long term support vs lightweight ChromeOS with a built in expiry date I suppose.

      • Mitch889 on 06/02/2022 - 18:55

        Yep they’re all crap 😂

    • jwh on 06/02/2022 - 20:02

      Hmmm…

      We weren’t expecting much from this hardware, but amazingly, we were still disappointed by its performance. In Geekbench 5 the CX1 delivered single- and multi-core results of 269 and 516. These are terrible scores – three and five times slower than the Acer and Lenovo laptops respectively.

      And then this

      …it couldn’t handle Spotify simultaneously – music skipped when we switched between tabs and apps.

      I'd be expecting some frustrating performance.

    I picked up the HP from JB ages ago for 115 or so after cash back. It's truly been a great laptop, couldn't have done without it during covid lockdowns. Having said that I believe it has a amd a4 or a6,so don't know if this is as good, maybe someone can weigh in? I would check on how much they go for before buying this one.

    That actually had a great screen too, FHD 14", and can dim right down to nothing which makes it a great laptop to use on the couch at night

    • ozhunter68 on 06/02/2022 - 19:02

      I got one of those. Great price especially with a better bigger 14" FHD screen ( still not great as not IPS nor bright ).

      Has 2 x usb C which makes using and charging easier too, but pretty average performance, good enough for media

      consumption similar performance wise I'd say to this Asus, this is just smaller and lighter being 11.6" screen.

      Great for kids or a cheap take out handy computer. Even after no more Chrome updates, can still keep using it.

      Reading the Amazon reviews, the many scam references are bit concerning, and keep in mind looks like a US plug.

  • Wonderfool on 06/02/2022 - 18:50

    I mean, the spec is horrid, but is there anything actually worth buying at this price range? Atleast this is graded to be sturdy.

  • Jackson on 06/02/2022 - 18:52

    On a side note, since when does something make the front page with 10 votes? Must be a slow day….

    Let’s be realistic- it’s $197 shipped

    What more could you ask for?

    • Mitch889 on 06/02/2022 - 22:21

      I’m not sure anyone here is expecting more for $197, it’s simply that $197 isn’t enough money for a decent experience.

      Obviously not for you. But a young teenager or family on a budget who can use a cheap light laptop

      easy to maintain and charge up on the go ( 2 X USB C ) can serve it's purpose well.

    N3350 is a 5 year old CPU and Chromebook CX1100CN has auto update expiration date in June 2024, i.e. less than 2.5 year old update left. On the other hand, it might be possible to run CloudReady. My 8-year-old Acer Chromebook C720 is now running CloudReady with almost latest Chromium, and is still useful for browsing the web.

    Just an FYI you can install professional tools on these chromebooks via the Linux program.

    There are many alternatives to the commonly used programs on Windows that work just as good.

    Also as everything is going cloud based all you really need is a good internet connection.

    EDIT: you can install steam through terminal as well as quake 1 and 2.

      i only see this: "Offer from Google will expire by 1/31/2022" from the amazon site, so it thought it would be prudent to give people notice they may not be able to claim this offer.

      • slankets on 07/02/2022 - 13:30

        I bought a different chromebook and the offer didn't work for me. I think it's for new Google One users only.

  • w37hsyea on 06/02/2022 - 21:15

    You will kill yourself once this freezes during important work or study.

    • bargaino on 06/02/2022 - 21:20

      Why would it freeze? Even Windows rarely does that these days, ChromeOS even less.

      But I doubt anyone buys this for "important work or study". More like high-school maths homework, or Netflix. It'd be better than using your phone.

      • Mitch889 on 06/02/2022 - 22:19

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/353009

    For 4+ years as a presentation laptop for uni lectures.

    Fantastic never missed a beat.

    When not in use for work it's great for web browsing (not too many open tabs) and email. Overall has been well worth it.

    • treeman on 14/02/2022 - 20:05

      Exactly this. People laugh an scoff at the less than superior chromebook but they have no idea.

      Been using one for 2 to 3 years now as a relief teaching no issues.
