UPDATE: Low Cost Chromebook for Hangouts On Air - less than $200 plus tax!

Asus has introduced its own version of a RK3288 chip powered chromebook that sells for $169. It has the following additional ports:
Ethernet Port and USB 3.0 Port.

The addition of these ports allow attaching an Ethernet cable, a headset, an external monitor, an external webcam, and an external Hard Drive  as well as negate the need to buy an Ethernet-USB Converter and/or a powered Hub for the Hisense Chromebook .

    I am finding a few ASUS chromebooks. Is this the one you're suggesting as the best for under $200 Andrew Hatchett​

  4. The Asus Chromebook using the Rockwell 3288 chip retailing for $169 came out after the Hisense 3288 and the Haier 3288. I consider the $20 increase well worth the money simply because it gives you more ports as well as  a 3.0 USB whit the other two don't have. I try to stay clear of "best" as that deals with individual preferences.

  5. Got it - that makes sense. I just wanted to make sure I had found the one you were talking about as there seem to be a few Asus computers on the market Andrew Hatchett. Thanks for the quick response - I am ordering if now, and will use it for my #Censored2Celebrated  HOA next Tuesday. I can't wait!!

  6. There's no Shopping Cart for this one? Shop Target or WalMart? Andrew Hatchett Melita Noël Cantú

  8. So I purchased the one I described, as it was on sale from $250 down to $199. Am I OK?  And P.S. If you ever have a question about propofol, thiopental, pancuronium, or nitric oxide, IOU an anesthesia answer. lol
