There are so many laptops and Chromebooks available nowadays it can be an overwhelming task to find one that suits your needs. The good thing about the competition in the market is that it means there is a something for everyone out there and at more reasonable prices than ever before.

If you’re in the market for something cheap, with the ability to perform simple, everyday tasks then a Chromebook is a viable option and the Asus C300 should certainly be a Chromebook that makes it onto your list.

A reasonably cheap laptop, the Asus C300 Chromebook will cost you around $249. Despite this, the low price of this Chromebook isn’t the only thing to be admired about it.

Firstly, the large 13.3” screen is somewhat of a bonus for everyday users and promotes a decent viewing platform which is aided by Asus’ incorporation of an Intel HD Graphics Card.

One downside is the actual design of the unit. The simplistic exterior aesthetics of the unit are not necessarily a bad thing and the C300 is by no means ugly. But neither is it any different from the plethora of Chromebooks that all currently occupy the market, which all seem to have the same monotonous look to them.

Still, this is a decent solution if you need a laptop to comfortably perform everyday tasks. The Asus C300 also affords a commendable user-experience in regard to performance given its low price tag.

The integration of an Intel Celeron N2830 dual-core processor ensures the C300 only takes a few seconds to boot up and can be used to efficiently browse the internet and the majority of media-laden websites.

So far the C300 has done little to differentiate itself from a saturated market but it is the battery life of this unit is what makes it truly stand out.

Being a relatively no-frills machine, it’s perhaps unsurprising that the C300 boasts a superb battery life. But it’s the fact that this Chromebook’s battery is far superior to that of its closest rivals that makes it so impressive.

Combined with its generous screen size and reasonable price tag the Asus C300 Chromebook is certainly worth considering if you’re in the market for a laptop to perform everyday tasks.

You won’t want to tax this machine too much, but it certainly won’t let you down.
