Title: Asus Chromebook C203XA discounted by up to 47% on Amazon
Post by: Redaktion on December 03, 2022, 16:07:04
Discounted earlier today by 60%, the Asus Chromebook C203XA is now back above the US$100 threshold. For most markets (Asia and the US included), the ongoing discount is 47%. This drives the US$249.99 list price down to a wallet-friendly US$133. Unfortunately, European customers only get to enjoy a 42% price drop.

These are ancient. They spent 2+ years sitting on the shelf at a warehouse.
Even if the battery is not dead, their customer appeal sure is.

Very old, not ancient yet. They were never fast, but given their ruggedness and software environment, they might still be worth the price for some people. Especially if they go below US$100 again...

Superior N4020 and MT8183 options go on sale down to around $100 often, in the US at least.

Typically Lenovo, some ASUS, at the $100 price point. 64 GB eMMC is common, sometimes 2-in-1/touch functionality like the Lenovo Flex 3.

N4020 is likely the superior choice because of better single-threaded performance and x86 compatibility. I use an MT8173C now and MT8183 seems like a minor uplift, at least from your own site's comparisons:
