Great laptop, but not 120 Hz screen
I'm really enjoying the CX54, it's a big upgrade from my 2020 Acer Spin 713. The build quality is very good, it's fast, has good battery life (10 hrs use seems right), keyboard and camera are great. Even the speakers are better than I expected. However, I'm a little disappointed that the screen on the laptop I received is not 120 Hz. It's advertised here as such and has been reviewed like that, though Asus's website does not specifically say it has a 120 Hz screen. It's still a crisp screen, but if you're buying because of 120 Hz, beware.

This is the new standard for Chromebook Plus imo
Very impressive Chromebook. Finally, a high-end Chromebook plus with an extremely bright screen, a privacy camera shutter, and a fingerprint reader. The Intel Core i5 is very fast. The keyboard is fantastic and the trackpad is top-notch. I originally purchased the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus last weekend, but I do not like a 15.6-inch laptop; 14 is my sweet spot. For the same price, you get biometrics, a camera shutter, and a more portable device IMHO. Both are great devices, but I am enjoying the Asus ExpertBook a bit more. Google AI works great and smooth as butter on this Chromebook, by the way.
