A $159 Chromebook was my only computer for a week - how it changed my mind about cheap laptops
"is an affordable, durable laptop that handles the basics for $159. With a standard hardware loadout and solid 15-inch form factor, you've got a solid budget device that's especially good in an educational setting. The CX15 is one of the least expensive new Chromebooks you can buy right now, having just been released by Asus this summer alongside the Lenovo Chromebook Plus, a premium Chromebook with an OLED that's more than double the price."
"In terms of physical form, the 15-inch Asus CX15 isn't exactly the lightest Chromebook on the market at 3.5 pounds, but the plastic body feels durable enough, especially for a classroom device that will be used by multiple students throughout the day. It also comes in four colorways that give it some character: Pure Grey, Fabric Blue, Cream Pink, and Misty Green, a nice change of pace from the sea of corporate gray and white laptops -- and something that will appeal to younger users."
