The ASUS Chromebook Flip M3 is a smart Black Friday buy
A good Chromebook at a good price.
You'll find plenty of cheap Chromebooks on sale this Black Friday but let's be honest — some of them aren't something you want to use every day. A $100 Chromebook is probably great for young kids but you can do better just by spending a little bit more: grab the ASUS Chromebook Flip CM3 for $191.
This isn't the world's most fantastic laptop but it isn't meant to be. It has an ARM MediaTek processor, just 4GB of memory, and a scant 32GB of internal storage. It also has a great 3:2 aspect ratio 12-inch touchscreen, fast Wi-FI 5, a convertible hinge that flips the screen back to use as a tablet, and will get updates directly from Google until 2028. Not too shabby!
A lot to like for less than $200
