AI-generated summary
For £259 ex-VAT, this ASUS Chromebook CB1405 is the kind of “boring but solid” purchase I’d approve for the right workplace. If your staff mainly live in Chrome—email, Office Online, Teams in the browser, web apps, light documents and spreadsheets—ChromeOS is fast, low-maintenance, and the resale/refresh cycle is usually painless. The 14" Full HD screen is a nice sweet spot for day-long typing and reading without feeling cramped, and Wi‑Fi 6 helps in busier offices where networks get busy. The 8GB RAM and snappy performance tend to keep it feeling responsive rather than sluggish after a few dozen tabs.
That said, I wouldn’t buy this if you need Windows-only software, heavy offline work, or performance for anything beyond typical browser workloads. Chromebooks are also only as good as your organisation’s approach to data (cloud accounts, permissions, device policies)—they’re brilliant when managed properly, awkward when users need local installs and “just download an app” workflows. For budget-conscious teams who want something dependable and easy to manage, it’s good value; for anything requiring legacy desktop apps, it’ll feel like a compromise.
