Customer Ratings & Reviews

I think that we all know that Chromebooks have changed our electronic landscape. They are affordable and allow users to perform most of the things you would expect from a Windows PC or laptop, minus the hefty hardware needed to run it. Hence, the low price. But from one Chromebook maker to another, there can be staggering differences, even when they share similar CPUs or memory configurations. Asus knows how to make decent machines at the right price, and the CX14 is no exception. Let's begin this quick review with the hardware specifications. The CPU is an Intel Celeron with a limited amount of power. It's the N4500, which if you know your way around PC hardware, these processors are re-branded Atom CPUs, which have been used extensively in such laptops because of their low amount of power requirements. The memory on the CX14 I am using is limited to 4 gigs of LPDDR4X and a soldered on 64 gigs of eMMC (which is somewhat a very slow version of an SSD). That might seem a little light, but this isn't a PC and ChromeOS is perfectly fine with these limitations. The screen is a FHD IPS panel. The image is clean, crisp and has a good contrast. It's not a touchscreen though, but I would be the last person to complain about this missing "feature". You'll be able to watch streaming shows and such without a problem. The sound isn't great, but it does get the job done. The ports available fall a little short. Only one USB-A port, a HDMI port, a 3.5mm audio jack and a USB-C to charge the machine (a charger is included). The keyboard is comfortable to type on, there is a clear resistance which I personally appreciate. The trackpad is a different deal: it's just not very good. Mostly because it lacks precision and the clicks are sometimes random. If you are going to use this Chromebook to work, you'll want to get a compact mouse just to save yourself the trouble of messing with the trackpad. The battery life is - as you can expect - pretty high. I had it running for about 6-8 hours without a hitch, while only browsing and fixing some documents. I suppose that more intense use will probably lower these numbers but it's still very good. Charging is fast and I will add that I love that Asus relies on a USB-C charger and not a proprietary one. Other manufacturers could take a page out of Asus' playbook. Overall, this is a very nice, responsive, light and comfortable Chromebook. It won't win a race and the trackpad could definitely be better, but considering the price and the quality, I would absolutely recommend the CX14 over other brands with similar configurations. Well done, Asus!

I bought my Chromebook from Best Buy, and honestly, it’s been one of my smartest tech purchases. Setup was effortless right out of the box — it synced with my Google account in minutes, and the battery life has been a lifesaver for work, travel, and streaming. The staff at Best Buy helped me compare models without pressure, and they even walked me through a few features I didn’t know about. It’s lightweight, fast, and surprisingly powerful for how affordable it is. Highly recommend for anyone who wants something reliable and simple to use every day!

Bought as a Christmas gift for my little brother. It is great for such a small thing. Runs really fast and is easy to take with you where ever you go. Set up is easy as it always is with ASUS.

Love this chromebook! It was my first time purchasing a chrome book and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised at the speed and screen quality.

Great for gaming, social media and graphic design! I used it for Canva projects on the go and was able to play Fortnite in my downtime. Easy and fast shipping. Sleek and easy to navigate and use.

This laptop is perfect for light web browsing and watching movies on the go, which is what i bought it for, its also light and has good battery life.

It works great! I just needed a laptop to access Gmail, Google Drive and other web sites. The keyboard and the touchpad are excellent.

Good product that does all that I need it to do without being too complicated. Still has a lot of fancy features, holds a battery, and is fast.

I recently picked up the ASUS CX14 Chromebook and it’s been fantastic. The 14″ FHD display is crisp and clear, performance is snappy for browsing and streaming, and the all-day battery life means I never have to scramble for a charger. Overall, it’s a solid, reliable Chromebook that I’d highly recommend.

I got this for our 11th graders school year and it works great. With the bargain price and high quality it outperforms the standard issue school chromebooks and otherwise. He can do his work, surf a little when needed and it’s light and portable. This is a great priced buy for achool.

I love my new Chromebook, long battery life, and it’s light weight.

Pretty good quality for a budget first laptop. I bought for my little sister as a first laptop, is intuitive the OS. Surprisingly had a great display. Battery life is optimized for the OS. Great first laptop

We purchased this laptop for my son for Christmas for him to be able to do his homework on. It’s quite sufficient for him to take to school and home and do his schoolwork and print school related material materials. Overall, it was a great purchase for the price!

For the price I paid, it's a winner. This machine does everything I need it to. The screen itself is worthy of the price. FHD, looks stunning on this CB. This does not feel cheap. The keyboard minus a number pad, is a joy to type on. Now, the speakers could have been better. But it's no problem with all the Bluetooth speakers I have lying around. Good for teens and seniors too. Thinking about it, buy it. Oh, and there is no Asus bloatware to get rid of. I love mine.

We like the Chromebook. Great screen quality and battery life. It does everything we need and more! I got it on sale for a great price. Definitely a good value for your money. Very happy with this product.

I purchased this for my kid, and he liked it. The performance is satisfactory, and the size/weight is perfect for him to carry to school.

Good alternative to Windows laptop for searching, emailing, and other basic computing. I bought it to do those things during Black Friday sale. Great price for a good laptop.

Great unit......simple to use and setup. Great battery life.

This is a great option for basic computer use. It's great for e mail, online shopping, and banking. This is my third Chromebook. For me this is a great cost saving way to have a computer. For a small amount of money you get a great computer for a few years. Then I just buy a new one. I'm not into spending a ton of money on a computer, and then having to make expensive upgrades to keep it operating.

Great little laptop, perfect for my grandson. Sturdy and very easy to operate, excellent screen image. Very pleased, great price for a great computer.
