Laptops and other electronics are about to get a lot more expensive in the US. If you’re in the market for a super-cheap laptop, you can’t do much better than this Asus Chromebook, which is going for $109 on eBay. It’s a refurbished model, but with 8GB of RAM and a two-year warranty, it’s still an incredibly affordable way to get a decent laptop.
The Asus CX15 is a 15.6-inch laptop, and yeah, it’s pretty basic even by Chromebook standards. The Intel Celeron N4500 is a dual-core CPU from 2021, with DDR4 memory support and UHD integrated graphics. 8GB of memory is low for a modern Windows laptop, but it’s more than enough for ChromeOS as long as you don’t go ham on the browser tabs. This model has just 64GB of storage (not counting the OS), so expect to rely on cloud storage for day-to-day data storage needs.
The CX15 does offer USB-C charging, a nice feature at this price level. And surprisingly, there are both USB-C and USB-A ports on both sides, plus headphone port and microSD card slot. But it doesn’t have a touchscreen, the body and trackpad are plastic, you get the idea.
With Google’s commitment to ten years of ChromeOS updates, it should be running the latest build of the operating system until 2031 at the very least. And the eBay seller includes a two-year warranty from Allstate, so even if the laptop you get isn’t in perfect cosmetic condition, you’ll get a little extra peace of mind for at least two years.
No one’s going to call this thing a speed demon. But if all you need is a reliable way to access the web with a big screen, it’ll do the job. Grab one at this super price while stock is still available!
