The incredible ASUS ExpertBook CX54 Chromebook Plus just dropped to a jaw-dropping $649

There are certain Chromebooks that sit in a class all their own, and the ASUS ExpertBook CX54 Chromebook Plus is undoubtedly one of them. It’s one of the most powerful, well-built, and feature-packed Chromebooks you can buy: period. We were excited to see it on sale for $679 just a few weeks ago, but that deal is now gone, replaced by something even better.

Right now, Best Buy has dropped the price even further, knocking the price of this absolute monster of a Chromebook down to just $649.

A reminder of what makes this Chromebook a beast

If you’re looking for a truly no-compromise Chromebook experience, the CX54 is where it’s at. This isn’t a base model; this is the top-spec version with all the extras. That includes the brilliant touchscreen, a massive 16GB of RAM, and a spacious 256GB of fast NVMe storage. The list of premium features is long:

• The Screen: It all starts with the gorgeous 14-inch, 16:10 QHD display that is incredibly bright at 500 nits and buttery-smooth thanks to its 120Hz refresh rate.
• The Build: You get a sleek, all-metal chassis that feels incredibly premium, along with a fast and accurate fingerprint scanner for easy logins.
• The Inputs: The backlit keyboard is fantastic to type on, and the smooth glass trackpad is a joy to use.
• The Power: Under the hood, a fast Intel Core Ultra 5 processor paired with that 16GB of RAM means this Chromebook will handle any workflow you can throw at it for years to come without breaking a sweat.

For $649, you are getting one of my favorite Chromebooks on the market and one of the most powerful, capable ChromeOS devices money can buy. It’s a deal that’s tough to beat if you’re on the hunt for a high-end laptop that will last. We have no idea how long this price will hold, so don’t miss out on this one.
