What to check before buying
- ChromeOS cannot run every Windows or macOS desktop application. Check course, work, peripheral and gaming requirements before buying.
- The 128GB UFS storage is modest and the 8GB memory is listed as the maximum, so this is a cloud-first everyday machine rather than a heavy multitasking or local-storage option.
- The exact listing's technical table labels the display as capacitive, but the title and main product copy do not clearly advertise a touchscreen. Do not assume touch support without confirmation.
- Amazon's exact box-content field says power cable rather than naming the adapter; ASUS specifies a 45W USB-C adapter and cord for this model family, but inspect the box promptly and report any missing charger.
- Amazon listings can switch seller or configuration. Confirm ASIN B0G2C2MZBX, the Core 3 / 8GB / 128GB selection, new condition and Amazon as seller before paying.
Why it is worth considering
A useful lower-priced Chromebook Plus at £225 for web-first buyers. The £249.99 Lenovo alternative offers 256GB storage; choose this ASUS to spend less only if 128GB and the display uncertainty are acceptable.
- The exact new configuration is in stock at the public £225 price, shipped and sold by Amazon, with no code or restricted eligibility.
- The Core 3 100U and 8GB LPDDR5 memory are a useful step above weak-CPU, 4GB Chromebooks; the trade-off is modest 128GB local storage.
- The exact listing confirms a UK-layout keyboard, while the matching ASUS CX3402 family specification includes a 45W USB-C power adapter and cord.
