Customer Ratings & Reviews

Seems to be what we are looking for in a laptop so far.

ASUS Chromebooks are the best - they last a long time with no or few problems. Best Buy always has great prices and availability. Shipping is quick.

Very dependable. Nice Screen. Excellent Battery Life.

This laptop is versatile and especially good for the creation of multiple Gmail accounts without hassle. Otherwise this is a standard Chromebook.

The battery life is less than 5 hours. Very dissatisfied with this, it is advertised as up to 10 hrs. Returned. Tried another one, same thing. Also was no faster than my 5 year old HP Chromebook. I guess this is why it is a 'Black Friday' deal.

Excellent for a senior citizen or non-tech savvy person. Very easy to use.

Inexpensive unit, Great to complete college courses

The ASUS Chromebook Plus (CX1405CTA) is an ideal companion for anyone looking for a compact and capable laptop for traveling. Lightweight and portable, the CX14 only weighs about 3lbs with a slim design and is easy to carry on short trips. The 14-inch Full HD Anti-glare display is helpful in making sure you see your work in any light. Under the hood, it features an Intel Celeron 3-N355 processor, 8GB of LPDDR5 memory and 128GB eMMC storage delivering smooth performance for multi-tasking and content consumption. Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4 support fast and reliable connectivity. One noteworthy detail here that truly separates this laptop from the pack is the addition of Google AI. With an included 12-month Google One AI Premium subscription ($239.88 value), you’ll have access to Gemini Advanced, 2TB of cloud storage and AI tools for Gmail, Docs and other Google apps. It's especially good for anyone who wants to take advantage of AI for writing prompts, photo edits, and video enhancements. Additionally, Durability is another highlight as well. It complies with US MIL-STD-810H military-grade standards, so you can rely on it to survive the trips. Extra features such as spill-resistant keyboard, 1080p webcam with privacy shutter, and 180° lay-flat hinge contribute to its total versatility. Overall, the ASUS Chromebook Plus CX14 is a great travel companion with its inherent portability, performance and cutting-edge AI capabilities, it should prove to be an attractive pick for travelers and those wanting to give AI-powered productivity a spin.

Works as described. The strolling options are alittle hard.

This chromebook is great for the price but the Wifi and Internet conectivity stopped working within 6 months.

Great laptop at a great price. Very user-friendly.

Great for my kids to do general school work. Snazzy.

**Do not buy this device for the Google AI promotion.** My primary reason for this purchase was the advertised Google One AI Premium plan for 12 months at no cost, a huge value proposition, especially since I wanted to build on some recent coursework I completed in learning AI. I spent several DAYS trying to redeem this offer through the prompts on the device only to get errors that after checking the device was not eligible. I used the contact us form in the support article to reach out to Google and 48 hours later I get a reply that it has gone to the Google Play area which is not the right area, but worry not - they're forwarding it over to the Google One team (mind you, there's no option to choose where this gets routed to on the contact us form). After 72 hours, I finally get a response from someone stating "your specific device is not listed as eligible for the offer under the official terms and conditions. These eligibility requirements are determined by the manufacturer and the promotional campaign." Additionally they wrote: "Our best recommendation for you is to contact the retailer or provider who sold you the device. Since this offer was advertised with the product, they should be informed that the device is not eligible under our terms." So in short, it appears the ASUS, Google and Best Buy are not aligned on the terms, conditions and eligibility for this offer. Aside from this bait-and-switch issue, the hardware itself was okay. For the price it's very barebones (e.g. not even a backlit keyboard). I also was not a fan of the trackpad.

Great experience. The associate was very kind and helpful.

Wife got sick of Windows bloat and updates and has fallen in love with her new Chromebook.

Great for my daughter’s school work and it’s a great size too

Nice Chromebook, great for students or teachers...

Overall a great value for the money. Got on sale, so saved $100.

I like everything so far but the battery life. Seems to run out faster than my old machine did.

I really like this little guy. Its as I would describe is a chromebook with a boost. It comes with a Intel I3 processor and 8GB memory and 128GB Storage. Giving it a nice perf bump for a chromebook. And its noticable! Allowing me to perform multible tasks at once for my web presence apps without the need of a full on bult laptop. It works fast and smooth to complete and run several apps at once. I didn't notice much slowdown at all. Which i would with other chromebooks. It will play standard games if you are wanting a break. But this machine is for work IMO or for the high school/College student needing for school. Screen size is nice at 14" and provided a nice bright layout and anti glare. Keyboard is nice and responsive and the unit comes in at 3 pounds. Making the unit portable yet giving a premium experience for daily use. The military grade durability on the casing will take a beating. Overall, nice unit. Definately a bump up from your standard chromebook. Built for everyday use!
