Buying Advice

Post Body

I was looking at the chrome box 5 with the I3 in it and 8gb of ram which would cost $515.

But then I see ASUS sells a Chromebook with the same specs (I think they’re the same, I’m not a techie) for $599. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-16-2-in-1-touchscreen-chromebook-intel-core-i3-8gb-memory-128gb-ssd-mineral-grey-gray/6503862.p?skuId=6503862

So am I really only saving $85 and losing portability by going with the chrome box over the Chromebook? Are they delivering the same performance? Or am I missing something?
