Great Chromebook!
I bought this Chromebook as an upgrade from my Lenovo 300e, which is a HUGE upgrade. The fingerprint sensor is really convenient, the major upgrade in cpu, ram, and the display is life changing compared to what I hard before. It’s by far the highest performance laptop I’ve ever had. And thankfully with zip I was able to actually afford it as well.

Power Meets Simplicity: The ASUS Expertbook CX54
I upgraded my daily laptop to the 2025 Asus Expertbook CX54 Chromebook Plus. After a week of use, here is my first hand impression. It's a great all-around machine with the simplicity of the Chrome OS but with premium hardware and specs for work, school, productivity, and entertainment. *Design & Build* The shiny aluminum silver chassis really stands out, and it just has a professional, premium looking build. The build is smooth and sturdy, and according to Asus it has military grade durability. Chassis and hinges feel solid and strong. It opens up to 180 degrees and has a touch screen that's responsive and receptive. It comes with a 45 Watt charger and the packaging is Eco friendly. *Specs* I'll list the specs that standout for its class: It's powered by and Intel Core Ultra 5 Series 1 Processor (14th Generation) with an NPU for AI, 16GB of Memory, 256 GB of Total Storage, and a 2K 2560x1600 resolution. What's impressive is it's powered by blazing fast LPDDR5X memory at 6400 megahertz. There are 2 Thunderbolt 4 display connectors and 4 USB inputs (2 USB-A, 2 USB-C). There's an HDMI 2.1, MicroSD slot, and a headphone/audio jack. The wireless standard is AX 6e which has a theoretical speed of about 10 GB so even though it's not Wifi 7 it's more than adequate considering most of us top out at about 1 Gig speeds. The CPU system is air-cooled and does a great job of keeping the heat off. I never felt this laptop heat up so it benefits from the 45 Watt CPU and the air cooling is sufficient. There's an 8MP Webcam which is great for video/conference/meeting calls. The battery life is about 10 hours which is great for a 2K display and an Intel Core Ultra Processor. The keyboard is also backlit. *Webcam* There's an 8MP HD Webcam that looks great in low-light, you can also grab high-res photos with the Full 8MP mode. AI will help you blur the background when necessary. Microphone sounded good and work meeting was smooth and clear. *Sound* There's Harmon Kardon tuned speakers which are more than adequate to listen to music or watch a movie. I would recommend headphones because if you're using the external speakers they lack bass and don't get as loud as I typically like to hear. They will absolutely get you through a meeting if you need them. *Performance* The ASUS Expertbook flies with the 8-core Intel Core Ultra 5. It doesn't matter if I have 25 tabs open or 5 different apps running, I didn't notice any significant slowdowns or lag. Heavier tasks such as photo editing were smooth too. The display is top of the line for Chromebooks at 2560x1600, 500 nits and visuals looked smooth. A 16:10 aspect ratio and 100% DCI-P3 coverage is great for designers/creatives. The keyboard is responsive with about 1.5 mm of travel. There's not wobble or flex at all with the display and hinges, among the most sturdy builds I've seen. There's an integrated AI NPU that helps with AI tasks. The memory is soldered but it's more than enough and fantastic for heavy multitasking. Running multiple apps and lots of tabs it didn't miss a beat. I tried out one of my favorite games, Minecraft, and this machine handled it with ease, very impressive. The battery estimate of 10 hours is very accurate. If you're using it indoors you most likely won't be at 100% brightness so with normal use you will get right around 10 hours. Chrome OS is efficient coupled with the Intel CPU optimizations. *Pros* * Extremely fast processor and Memory for Chromebook * Stays Cool * Touch Screen * Beautiful Design * Blazes through games, No lag * Tons of ports * 120 Hz Display, 2560 x 1600 Resolution, 500 Nits * Secure: Fingerprint Sensor, Kensington Lock, Webcam privacy shutter *Suggestions/Needs Improvement* * Keyboard and tracking pad are good for Chromebooks but there's room to be a little better * Sound by Harmon Kardon, but lacks bass and high volume * Wish the USB-A port was on the left side (for a mouse) The ASUS Expert CX54 Chromebook Plus is the near perfect portable laptop. And I won't limit this one to just the chromebook category, I believe this Chromebook Plus can compete directly with Ultrabooks. It's an exceptional laptop for work, productivity, creativity, play, and entertainment. It's easy to carry, has a beautiful touch screen, and absolutely flies through any productivity task. This machine was well thought out and it shows. Highly Recommended!
