Save 52% on this ASUS Chromebook CM30 that turns into a tablet or a laptop

TL;DR: Pick up this open-box ASUS Chromebook CM30 detachable with touch display, stylus, and keyboard for $159.99 for a limited time.

If your “quick tasks” keep turning into all-day browser marathons, this little 2-in-1 is built for it. The ASUS Chromebook CM30 pairs a 10.5-inch WUXGA touchscreen with a detachable, full-size keyboard and a magnetic stand, so you can type an email, pop the cover, and sketch notes on the same device. This open-box unit is priced at $159.99 (MSRP $329.99) — which simply means it was either excess inventory or was returned and repackaged, but rest assured it is a brand-new item.

Inside, the MediaTek Kompanio 520 keeps ChromeOS snappy for docs, tabs, and video calls, while 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of eMMC storage give you room to breathe. The garaged push-pop stylus charges fast and is always where you left it, and dual 5MP cameras handle calls and quick captures without digging for your phone.

Connectivity checks the right boxes with Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, a USB-C port, and a 3.5mm jack, and the MIL-STD 810H chassis with 30% recycled aluminum is tough enough for backpacks and coffee tables alike. Titan C security helps keep your account and data protected, and the battery can run up to 12 hours so you don’t have to be tethered to the wall all day.
