Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great product. Awesome price. Exactly what I was looking for. Far exceeds my expectations

The laptop had a nice look to it. It was very fast when trying to accomplish tasks. I ended up returning it to the store because the sole purpose of purchasing this laptop, was not compatible with a chrome book. I have had Asus products in the past and like them. I have no doubt this would have worked, had the program been able to be used.

The ASUS cx14 Chromebook has been a great addition to my family's laptop collection. My son had an OLD ASUS Chromebook that lasted years. It just recently stopped charging (user error). But my son has LOVED having an updated version of his favorite computer ever. One of the best parts of this computer is the price point, you can't beat that price for such a fastt and efficient computer. We love the color of this computer and that fact that it can fold open with ease. The ports also are nice for all the things you need to plug in! We also love that the battery lasts "forever" according to my son. He can do all his work and watch his shows without having to charge in between. We also found it to charge extremely quick when plugged in. It's very light which is ideal for my son, but so far very sturdy. I. Not worried about it breaking or crack even when he is at his craziest. Plus the screen feels huge! All in all I highly recommend this Asus Chromebook for your work or personal use!

Bought for 16 year old and she loves it uses it for school

Works for 1 dedicated task, i use for work only, nothing else, no recreational purposes, wouldn't be sufficient for multiple things. I miss touch screens whenever I use it. But, itll do for whats needed.

It is above average Chromebook for the price, but doesn't have a numeric keypad

Excellent, I am recommending, I use every day …

great product; it was a great gift for a middle school student

Overall it’s a good Chromebook my main issue is the audio is terrible and the battery doesn’t last

GREAT FOR HOMESCHOOLING / HIGHSCHOOLER TAKING REMOTE CLASSES

GOOD - Very affordable - Nice display - Good selection of connectivity ports BAD - No backlit keyboard - Low RAM and storage capacity limit it from heavy productivity use TLDR This version of the CX14 is a great example of what a Chromebook offers over a low-budget Windows laptop. It has good-enough performance for simple computing tasks of email, typing up documents, and browsing the web. The battery life is decent, it can run many Android applications, and it has a 1080p LED display. Most importantly, it's cheap. DETAILS "Premium" Chromebooks make about as much sense as gold-plated running shoes. Yes, it can be done, but it's usually not a good use of the money. If you're going to spend several hundred dollars on a laptop, why not get one that can run a broader range of software and that doesn't lose half its capability when it's offline? Conversely, ChromeOS' still runs well on the lower-spec hardware found in the sub-$300 range, whereas Windows' higher demands means significant trade-offs ( and probably significant frustration at the sluggish performance ). As mentioned, the hardware specs in the CX14 are meager, and purposely so to reach the low price point. The Celeron CPU is only a dual-core with a base frequency of 1.1 GHz. Storage is a 64 GB eMMC drive ( which is slower than a SATA or NVMe SSD ). System memory capacity is only 4 GB. Normally, this would be a severe hindrance in a laptop, but ChromeOS isn't overly demanding and system performance is more than adequate. In typical use of having a few web browser tabs open, and maybe one extra application, I didn't notice any slowdowns or sluggish behavior. If you regularly have lots of browser tabs open ( say, 8 or more, particularly if they're demanding sites ), you will encounter some slowdown due to the limited RAM. Before then, you'll get a notification prompting you to allow unused tabs to go to sleep to conserve system resources. The 64 GB system drive has about 40 GB available. It's not a lot, but again, it's sufficient for basic use, especially if you're utilizing cloud storage services. While many cheap laptops come with sub-par displays with low resolution kor horrible viewing angles, Asus uses a good 1920x1080 LED display, even on the base model CX14. It's not a touchscreen on this model, but that's not a problem. It also has an HDMI connection, a 3.5mm audio jack, and two USB ports ( one type-C with DisplayPort, one type-A ). All in all, this Chromebook offers a lot for its low price. Ideally it would have a second type-C port, as using the charger monopolizes the single one available unless you use a dock. It would also be nice if the keyboard was backlit. But these are minor complaints. As is, it makes a great laptop for children and young students, or anyone who wants simple computing capabilities above that of a tablet without spending a lot of money.

I am thoroughly disappointed with this ASUS laptop, which I purchased at Best Buy less than three months ago. After such a minimal amount of use, the screen has completely failed and gone blank, making the entire device unusable. It is unacceptable for a brand-new computer to suffer a critical hardware failure so quickly, especially when it is still well within the warranty period. This lack of reliability is a significant waste of my time and money, and I strongly recommend against buying this model if you need a dependable laptop.

I found it difficult to get my new keyboard to connect with the Chromebook. And this was more expensive than I expected.

RETURNED THIS ITEM. I did not like the screen size.

decent laptop, chrome OS is garbage. returned for a standard windows PC

Wish it could do more not a fan of chrome os other then that it’s a good computer

One week after purchase the virus protection had expired ans it already had trojan viruses.

On paper, it looks so underpowered especially that any entry level phone specs are much better than this. However, for a 64gb emmc, I would not have expected this to perform like this. It is pretty fast, efficient, and very affordable too. DESIGN It is nicely encased in a sturdy metallic finish cover-- much better than the ones being distributed in public school. It has a nice matte feel that's smudge-resistant. PERIPHERALS Typing is pretty good-- nice feedback on the keys, great texture feel on the keys, soft presses on the keys kickback with the right amount of bounce. It has a very responsive pad-- touch on the pad is responsive but you can also click to execute. Either way, they pad is of good quality. Speakers are a little soft but I use Bluetooth headphones anyway. It does have a headphone jack which can be useful too. I like it that Asus did not opt for a proprietary plug for power. The USB c is great and creates flexibility. PERFORMANCE Screen is basic. Brightness is decent on a well lit room. It is not sharp but it is easy to stare into and the viewing angle is wide. The details are suprisingly clear and legible for a 14" screen. For example, I had the Google Keep app on, it split the screen where it shows my most recent notes on the left and the actual note I am working on on the right. There are twelve (YES 12) notes on the left screen and all of them are nice and clear. After hours of use, it doesnt heat up. I was able to run YouTube videos continuously for a good 6.5 hours and it still has over an hour left-- and the battery meter underestimates the actual use so I suspect it will last at least 8 hours on regular unplugged use. Seriously, that is a lot for laptop nowadays. Gaming is a little weak-- at least for effects heavy games (but app-based) like raid shadow legends. It was struggling a bit on just 30fps setting but it was a little smoother when it is plugged in. Also, the app crashed when I tried to game without it plugged. I would say this is a very surprising machine. At the value of this, it's perfect for daily tasks especially Google apps which all cover 90% of people's daily needs such as emails (Gmail), word processing (docs), spreadsheets (sheets), notes (keep), browsing (chrome), social media, and many more. It can even run Gemini AI straight from Chrome. I know for sure this is a better alternative than those ones given to middle schoolers. But even for office use, such as admins and regular clerical tasks, especially those dependent on GSuite, this machine is perfect!

Garbage. Returned it immediately. Completely crashed during setup and even with a warranty, Best Buy wouldn't fix it.

So I figured I would give a Chromebook Laptop a shot. What could go wrong? Not much to be honest. I like the size, ergonomics and weight of the unit. I'm not a keyboard zen master so I could care less about the sound and feel of the keys. One minor gripe about this keyboard is that I have to press the power button a few times and pray to see if the unit actually turns on or not. Not a fan of that at all. To be honest, that is the only gripe I have about this laptop. Wait, that's a lie. A backlit keyboard would have been very nice to have but I guess you get what you pay for. I appreciate the privacy cover on the webcam. The performance of the cam is decent and can be used in a pinch. No real need to go out and buy a new camera unless you just have to be seen in 4K😉 For having a Celeron CPU it's pretty snappy. I kinda see why folks get these. Unless you are playing AAA games and need the fastest money can buy this little guy is a breath of fresh air. You can throw it a regular sized backpack and have room for some peripherals and lunch. Neat laptop. Don't know why folks don't give these more of a chance. Further more, if this got stolen or lost I wouldn't freak out. Just log into my Google account and do a remote wipe and call it a day. This is a laptop I would definitely recommend.
