Excellent low-cost Chromebook for basic computing
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

ASUS Laptop Screen issues
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

- Pros mentioned:Battery life, Overall performance, Screen quality
Awesome value for a very capable laptop!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

Perfect For Online School
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the chrome OS systems done by Asus over the years and they always just keep improving. This one id say specifically my favorite part is how ridiculously long the battery life is. I also remember when Chromebooks first came out they werent particularly good at doing a lot of things. That fact became fiction over the course of time and now for my kids I prefer them to be using Chromebooks and Asus is the king of them. This one in particular has a 14” form factor which is the sweet spot of not too small and not too big, keeping things portable while also pleasing to carry around as intended as its just around 3lbs. The screen is punchy and bright with decent FHD resolution which is great on a 14” screen. This comes with a 64GB Emmc memory which is perfectly suitable for a machine like this. With wifi 6 usb A and C ports your covered and even with an industry “small” sized 42wh battery size it crushes in battery life. As said above I like using Chromebooks for my kids because I use the Google family link to monitor and control usage to make sure they stay on task while going to online school and doing homework and setting screen time limits when needed to maintain proper use. In this same thought process I appreciate that it comes with a webcam shutter to ensure the camera sensor is covered when not in use which I like for them. My son likes to bring this along to use on my hotspot in the car as well with bluetooth headphones (this has BT 5.4) to watch YouTube which he really likes. I dont think you can go wrong with the value these style machines provide and with the years of experience Asus has making them I wouldnt hesitate to buy this as a school machine, work or just to chill and watch content as long as you are aware of chrome OS you just cant go wrong.

Perfect for Simple at home use!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use the ASUS CX14 Chromebook mainly for checking emails, browsing the internet, online shopping, and watching a little Netflix — and it’s been absolutely perfect for what I need. I’m a middle-aged woman who’s not doing anything fancy tech-wise, and this laptop has been easy, reliable, and stress-free. It started up quickly right out of the box, and setup was super simple — just signed into my Google account and it was ready to go. I love how lightweight it is, and the 14” screen is just the right size for me (not too big or small). The picture is nice and clear, and the battery life lasts most of the day, which is great since I don’t always remember to plug things in. I also like the Misty Grey color — it’s subtle but still feels a little stylish. The keyboard is comfortable to type on, and everything runs smoothly as long as I’m not trying to do anything too heavy like gaming or video editing (which I’m not!). If you’re looking for something simple, affordable, and dependable for everyday use at home, I’d definitely recommend this Chromebook.

Low price, under 200 3. Excellent battery life, just lasts right under 8 hours 4. charges through USB 5. Cons ----- 1. Keyboard is not backlit 2. no MicroSD card slot Design & usage ------ Overall the design is good, its light weight and sufficiently bright. It has 64gb EMMC and runs at 1.10 Ghz and for a chromebook, its good enough. The 4gb ram is good enough for some schoolwork and some youtube videos for kids. The laptop looks well built and can stand a few falls. The 14” 1920 X 1080p FHD is well lit and bright and the colors are vibrant. The 1x Type C port is also used for charging. There is also 1x Type A port. The provided Mic and headphones is a good add-on for attaching a wired headphones. The keypad and trackpad look decent, it does not have a number pad but the tactile feel is good, The keyboard is not backlit. Overall For the price, i think this is a good value and great for school.
