We were also impressed by its sharp, 14-inch anti-glare 1080p display, along with the solid 1080p webcam. You also get a good port selection, including two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, HDMI, and a headphone jack, so you can connect an external monitor and other devices.RelatedThe Verge’s 2026 back-to-school shopping guideRead our Asus Chromebook Plus CX34 review.Three more ways to saveThe Igloo Playmate KoolTunes 14-Quart Cooler with a built-in Bluetooth speaker is down to $69.99 ($70 off) at Walmart in a few colors, which is one of its better prices to date.
