Our Editors' Favorite Big Screen Chromebook Is Now $159
Briefly

The Asus CX15 Chromebook is available at Walmart for $159. It features a 15-inch display, a full-size keyboard with a numpad, and two color options: Pure Gray and Fabric Blue. The processor is an Intel Celeron N4500 paired with 4 GB of memory and 120 GB of internal storage. The large screen supports multitasking with side-by-side windows but has limited color accuracy. Performance is sufficient for web-based tasks, note-taking, email, and editing essays in the browser. The touchpad can be occasionally clunky, but the full keyboard improves comfort for long typing sessions. The Chromebook includes three months of Google One AI Premium Plan with 2 TB cloud storage and three months of YouTube Premium.
Back to school is always a great time to pick up a deal on a new laptop for the upcoming semester, and the Asus CX15 Chromebook is available at Walmart for $159. It may not be the fanciest option, but it has a sizable screen and a full keyboard with a numpad, all for less than the cost of a new textbook. If you're just looking for a no-frills Chromebook for occasional web-based work and a slightly larger display, this is a great deal.
When it comes to performance, the CX15 isn't terribly exciting, with an Intel Celeron N4500 and 4 GB of memory. Fortunately, that should be fine for regular note-taking, email sending, and essay editing, with most of that work happening in your browser anyway. The extra-large 15-inch screen is great for putting two windows next to each other while getting some work done, or for watching a movie in the evening, even if the color accuracy isn't the best.
It has only 120 GB of internal storage, which is fairly common for Chromebooks, because it's expected you'll lean heavily on Google's cloud storage options. To that end, the Asus Chromebook CX15 includes three months of the Google One AI Premium Plan, which includes 2 TB of cloud storage as well as a variety of AI-enhanced tools. You'll also get three months of YouTube Premium, which gives you an ad-free experience while watching videos and listening to music.
