Looking to upgrade your Chromebook? This Asus Chromebook Plus is sleek, fast, and AI-ready - oh, and it's discounted in the Amazon Big Deal Days sale
Save big on the Asus Chromebook Plus CX34 this Amazon Prime Day
It's been more than a year since Google launched its 'Chromebook Plus' initiative, designed to provide a slightly more powerful and premium standard of ChromeOS-powered laptops to consumers. Unfortunately, that meant higher prices - but with this Asus Chromebook Plus CX34 for $319.99 (was $439.99.99) at Amazon, it's time for the Plus range to shine this Prime Day.

Thanks to a 12th-generation Intel Core processor (unlike the lightweight Intel Pentium and Celeron chips found in many Chromebooks), this laptop packs a punch - and it's well-equipped to take advantage of Google AI, too. Asus has also bumped up the RAM and system storage over its non-Plus Chromebooks, which combined with an FHD display makes for one kick-ass laptop.

At a seriously impressive £150 discount, this is the Chromebook Plus to buy this Prime Day. The Asus CX34 packs an Intel Core CPU, 8GB of memory, and a 256GB SSD, placing it at the higher end of the Chromebook market when it comes to specs - and it's Google AI-ready, too.
The Asus Chromebook CX34 sits among the best Chromebooks on the market - and in our review, we praised the strong internal specs, build quality, and display. In fact, our biggest criticism was that it looks a bit boring; but if you're looking for a professional-grade laptop for office work, that could actually be a good thing.
Google and Asus have baked a number of useful features into this Chromebook, including OS-level background blurring and noise cancellation for the 1080p webcam that will work in any video calling software, along with the usual ChromeOS integrations for Google Drive, including Docs, Sheets, and Slides. The 256GB SSD means you can install plenty of apps from the Google Play Store, too.
