Quick thoughts:

This exact model was on sale in February for $220 and deal got +29 (thread here). This deal is $20 less.
At Best Buy I'm seeing Open Box for as low as $180 -- I've had really fantastic luck with these, as they are usually in seemingly brand new condition.
I'd like to experiment with a 17" Chromebook but this one is too underpowered for my needs. Acer has this [bestbuy.com] model with N6000 processor and 8GB of RAM that I'd like to try but I've never seen it go on sale (retails for $500).

I used to own this model laptop, It does in fact have Bluetooth. I paired my mouse and headphones via Bluetooth to it. Besides the mouse scrolling issue, which is why i returned it, It works fine. Headphones worked fine via Bluetooth.

Less powerful than a modern calculator!
The N4500 has an Octane rating over 24,000. This processor will be super fast in a Chromebook. Heck, my Chromebooks with N4020's only hit around 18,000. The N4500 in a Windows laptop would be turtle slow.

Have this from the $220 deal in Feb. Excellent for the price. Bt with mouse is fine for me. The cpu is faster than other in it's range.

Big screen is nice. Screen is IPS too.

Considering the size and weight of any 17" laptop its not really meant for portability. Its more of a desktop replacement.

Most modern chromebooks now do not have HDMI, You can use a usb-c multiport adapter

OK here's the thing.....Most Chromebooks include a write-protect screw on the motherboard that prevents you from installing any operating system. To get Windows 10 on the machine, you'll need to remove the bottom shell, remove the screw from the motherboard, and then flash new firmware... then there's the change that you'll brick it.

A desktop replacement with a Intel Celeron N4500,
Maybe in 2005.

According to the Q+A on the BestBuy website, it does not. And the question was answered by an ASUS staff member.
I bought this when it was posted a month ago. It definitely has bluetooth.
I've owned at least 5 Chromebooks over the years and even those $80 11" Acer models had BT.

I am thinking of mounting this chromebook upside down in our SUV for DIY entertainment. Chromebook lets us rotate the screen 180 degrees and will use a wireless remote to navigate. However, any good ideas on how to mount it to the ceiling if a car? LOL

My 5', 75 year old mom carries her LG Gram 17 daily up and down stairs, in and out of her house.
