The new ASUS Chromebook CX15/CX14 range of powerful yet reasonably priced 14- and 15-inch laptops was unveiled by ASUS. The laptops in the series have a luxury, eco-friendly design, and Chromebook Plus variants are available for better performance and Google AI experiences.
With three distinct surface treatments and five options for CX14 and CX15, the series offers an interesting array of seven colours. Thirty percent of the environmentally friendly building is made of recycled plastic.
With a maximum Intel Core N355 CPU, effortless power is available, and a 1.39 kg beginning weight ensures effortless mobility. A 180° lay-flat hinge makes it simple to share the large FHD screen, and HDMI support a unique feature for this price range allows for better work, learning, and entertainment experiences.
In addition to meeting the most recent MIL-STD-810H military-grade durability standards, the ASUS Chromebook CX15/CX14 series is made for simple regular maintenance.
Stylish and sustainable
With its FSC Mix sustainable packaging, 30% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic components, and EPEAT Climate+ certification, the ASUS Chromebook CX15/CX14 series exemplifies the company’s dedication to environmentally friendly design.
The seven stylish colours that CX14/CX15 come in are Quiet Blue, Fabric Blue, Pure Grey, Misty Grey, Misty Green, Cream Pink, and Rock Grey. Furthermore, there are three distinct finishes Crystallice, Washi, and Paint based on the model. In every detail, sustainability meets durability and style with the wear-resistant paint, which is strengthened with diamond and stone particles and provides 2.5 times the abrasion resistance of conventional coatings.
Effortless daily use
The ASUS Chromebook CX15/CX14 series, which weighs 1.39 kg and is portable, has a big FHD wide-viewing-angle display with an 87% screen-to-body ratio for an immersive visual experience. A touchscreen is optional, and its 180° hinge enables for many uses.
The CX15’s numeric keypad facilitates speedy data entry, and the ergonomically placed I/O ports including a handy HDMI connector for an external display are now at the upper left side of the chassis, freeing up room for mouse movement.
Easy to service, built to last
With just four screws on the revised bottom cover, the components are easily accessible and disassembled, and the addition of captive screws makes sure they are difficult to lose. A new screwless battery latching system has also been implemented. Quick, tool-free battery swaps are made possible by a bracket that secures the battery.
In order to ensure a long and dependable lifespan, the ASUS Chromebook CX15/CX14 series also has a durable design that has been tested to reach or beyond the MIL-STD-810H US military-grade standard.
Chromebook Plus option
A sophisticated fusion of creativity and work is provided by the ASUS Chromebook CX15/CX14 series, which also gives the option of a Chromebook Plus with integrated Google AI functions. The Google One AI Premium subscription, which offers priority access to Gemini Advanced, 2TB of cloud storage, and integrated Artificial Intelligence tools in Gmail, Docs, and other apps, is given to users for free for a whole year.
While Gemini provides writing help for anything from blog articles to social media captions, users may design their own desktops and video chat backdrops that are as distinctive as they are. With easy one-click options for microphone and camera privacy, the FHD webcam and AI-powered video call tools maximise clarity, minimise noise, and blur backgrounds.
