The brilliant, oft-overlooked ASUS Expert book CX54 Chromebook Plus is over $100 off

If you’ve been eyeing a Chromebook Plus that nails both performance and sleek design, there’s a device on sale that you need to be paying attention to. The ASUS ExpertBook CX54 Chromebook Plus has returned to its lowest price ever, making an already-fantastic device even more appealing.

Oddly enough, this amazing device gets shuffled aside most days; and I have no idea why that is. It is superlative in nearly every way, yet any time it dips in price, we don’t see the sort of reaction we do with something like the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus (which is also on sale right now). For a Chromebook this well made and highly-spec’d out, the lack of interest is strange to me. So let’s cover why it’s so good, shall we?

It starts with the build quality. The all-aluminum chassis is thin and light, and it looks great in any environment. The Intel Core Ultra 5, 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage ensure things move along smoothly and quickly regardless of the task. And the 14-inch QHD (2560×1600) 16:10 screen is both sharp and bright, hitting a peak brightness of 500 nits and smoothly showing off content at 120Hz.

Beyond its performance and display, the CX54 doesn’t skimp on other essentials. It has a backlit keyboard for comfortable typing in any lighting condition, a wide port selection for hooking into whatever accessories you need, and a huge, glass trackpad to make navigation a breeze.

With its current price drop, the ASUS CX54 Chromebook Plus offers up an exceptional value. At this price, you’d be hard pressed to find this sort of hardware in any laptop, Chromebook or not. Again, I don’t understand why this device isn’t more popular, and I think ASUS truly delivered a masterpiece with this one. Don’t miss it while it’s on this relatively aggressive sale.
