Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’re shopping in the Chromebook space and you want a “proper” daily driver, the ASUS Chromebook Plus CX34 is one of the more credible options. The headline is that it’s fast enough to feel responsive for multitasking and web apps, and the touchscreen helps make ChromeOS feel more modern (especially for notes, quick edits, and training-style use). At **£557.87 ex‑VAT**, it’s not a bargain-bin device, but it *does* look like decent value for UK business use where people need reliable connectivity (Wi‑Fi 6E) and a machine that’s usually faster to manage than Windows laptops. If your staff are mostly in Google Workspace, browser-heavy workflows, light document work, and occasional video calls, this will make a lot of sense—less admin fuss, fewer update headaches, and good day-to-day usability.

Why you might **not** buy it: if your users rely on Windows-only line-of-business apps, heavy offline software, or anything that doesn’t play nicely in a ChromeOS environment, you’ll feel the limits quickly. Also, Chromebooks only earn their keep if your organisation is already comfortable living in the ChromeOS/Google ecosystem (or can get there). In short: **buy it for teams who are web/app-first and want simple management**, skip it if you’re tied to Windows software or need full desktop workflows.
