Concurrent price cuts on the Asus Chromebook Plus CX34 have brought the nearly three-year-old 14-inch Chromebook to one of its lowest price points across three retailers, with the headline entry a Best Buy listing that prices the 13th Gen Intel Core i5 1335U configuration at $399.99, down from $729. Amazon's 256GB, 12th Gen Intel Core i3 model sits at $399.99 as well, about $100 off recent prices. Walmart's 128GB unit with the 13th Gen Intel Core i3 1315U undercuts both at $349.99, reduced from $380.
The configurations and what separates them
The Best Buy option carries 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, but the i5 1335U is the fastest processor in the CX34 lineup at current discounted pricing and should deliver significantly better performance compared to either i3 option. Amazon's $399.99 model gives up processor speed but doubles the storage to 256GB, pairing that with a 12th Gen Intel Core i3 1215U and 8GB of RAM. Walmart's $349.99 listing is the cheapest entry point: 128GB of storage, 8GB of RAM, and the slightly faster 13th Gen Intel Core i3 1315U.
What the CX34 delivers at this price
The laptop carries a 14-inch anti-glare 1080p display and a 1080p webcam. Port selection covers two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, an HDMI output, and a headphone jack. In testing, the machine stayed snappy with more than a dozen apps open while running downloads and updates in the background. The 8GB of RAM is a tighter figure by current standards, though the constraint is less acute on ChromeOS than on Windows 11 or macOS. The Chromebook Plus designation adds access to Gemini and a free year of Google AI Pro, which includes access to Nano Banana and Veo via Gemini and 5TB of storage.
Three more deals in the session
Three other discounts are in focus alongside the Chromebook pricing. The Igloo Playmate KoolTunes 14-Quart Cooler with a removable Bluetooth speaker is at $69.99 at Walmart, $70 off; the speaker is IP56-rated for dust and water resistance, runs up to 10 hours on a charge, and the cooler holds up to 26 cans. The Anker Charger (100W, 3 Ports, Smart Display) is at $47.99 at Newegg with code EDF37569, a new low and $22 off, with Amazon pricing it $2 higher. The refurbished Roborock Q7 M5 Plus is at $192 at Roborock's official eBay storefront with code NEWFINDS20, less than half its $429.99 list price on a new unit and backed by a two-year warranty.
