Walmart may just have the best Chromebook deal this Cyber Monday. It has discounted Asus’ excellent Chromebook C425 by 40% bringing it down to $279 from its $449 street price. The deal seems to a Walmart-exclusive so far and is not available on any other retailer.
The Asus Chromebook C425 is for anyone who’s looking for a run-in-the-mill notebook without a touchscreen or any convertible tricks. It offers a 14-inch 1080p display that goes nearly edge-to-edge except for at the bottom. The model Walmart is selling for $279 runs on an Intel Core M3 chipset, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of onboard storage.
On top of that, the Chromebook C425 has an all-aluminum exterior and a lightweight build weighing about 2.9 pounds (The MacBook Air measures 2.75 pounds). It also features Asus’ clever hinge design that lifts the display ever so slightly for a more comfortable typing experience. Speaking of which, it houses a backlit chiclet keyboard and a fairly wide touchpad for a Chromebook.
The Asus Chromebook C425 comes with plenty of ports as well. There are two USB Type-C 3.1 slots, a single USB-A, a standard headphone jack, and a microSD card slot for expanding the storage. Apart from that, it has a 720p webcam and the latest Bluetooth 5.0. On a single charge, the C425’s built-in 48 Wh battery is rated to last up to 12 hours.
For $170 less, the Asus Chromebook C425 is a steal if you’re in search of a traditional notebook. Unfortunately, there is only one color option at this price as the C425’s other, higher-end variants are not on sale yet. That may change soon though, so keep an eye on our deals section. Alternatively, you can check out Asus’ Chromebook C433 which offers a two-in-one design with a touchscreen and is currently selling for $160 less on Best Buy.
In case none of these match your requirements, there is a big selection of more laptop Cyber Monday deals you can browse. Amazon has up to 40% off on Chromebooks and similarly, Best Buy’s Cyber Monday Chromebook deals start at $119. Other than laptops, you will find deep discounts on headphones, phones, and smart home appliances in this year’s Cyber Monday sales.
However, if for any reason you miss this Chromebook sale, there are always Black Friday Amazon deals to look forward to.
