The Asus Chromebook Plus CX34 offers reliable performance, a 1080p webcam, and a stunning design at a reasonable price point. What more could you ask for? Back in the day, Chromebooks were nothing more than low-powered machines that ran a web browser as your operating system, an extension of Google Chrome if you will. They were durable and largely virus-free, making them a popular choice in the educational market. Nowadays, they're capable of cloud gaming, which I never thought I'd see.

Rugged, reliable, and largely virus-free, these machines are designed with everyday people in mind. While Chromebooks have a lot to offer to the day-to-day user, traditionally speaking, they're not the most powerful laptops around… until now. Today, Google officially announced the release of Chromebook Plus laptops, a slew of Chromebooks that promise better performance, better displays and webcams, and new apps and AI capabilities. New features include enhanced editing in Google Photos, which allows you to remove unwanted bits with the Magic Eraser. Looking to pick up a new Chromebook?
