GoKawiilBuying a new computer in 2026 is a unique experience. Rather than deal with incredibly high tech prices, more shoppers are opting for high-quality refurbished tech.
This ASUS Chromebook CM30 refurb is in near-mint condition with a grade “A” rating, but it still only costs $144.97 (reg. $369.99) on sale.
A tablet and a laptop for under $200
This is a Grade “A” refurbished Chromebook, so it arrives in near-mint shape with minimal to no scuffing on the case. The screen is a 10.5-inch WUXGA touchscreen at 1920×1200, and it hits 400 nits with 118% sRGB coverage, so text stays sharp, and colors hold up in a bright room.
Inside, there’s a MediaTek Kompanio 520 with 8GB of RAM. Storage is a 128GB eMMC drive. That combination handles Chrome OS, a stack of browser tabs, and streaming without stalling. It’s a great machine for lightweight tasks and portability, but that’s not all it can do.
The detachable keyboard and magnetic stand cover let you drop the screen off and use it as a tablet in seconds. A push-pop stylus charges fast and stores right in the body, so you’re not hunting for it or leaving it behind on accident. Dual 5MP cameras cover video calls and quick captures.
The chassis is military-grade aluminum made with 30% recycled material, and it meets MIL-STD 810H durability standards. Battery life runs up to 12 hours, so a full workday or a long flight won’t leave you chasing an outlet. Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 keep connections quick, and you get a USB-C port plus a headphone jack. A 90-day parts and labor warranty from a third party is included.
