ASUS today announced the new ASUS Chromebook CX14/CX15 series of powerful yet budget-friendly laptops. With a variety of exciting colors and finishes to choose from, there is a choice to fit every style. These laptops are equipped with up to an Intel® Core™ N355 processor and are also available with a Chromebook Plus option for enhanced performance and Google AI experiences.
Stylish and Sustainable
The ASUS Chromebook CX14/CX15 series demonstrates the ASUS commitment to eco-conscious design, featuring EPEAT Climate+ certification, 30% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic components, and FSC™ Mix sustainable packaging.
Additionally, the laptops are available in a vibrant palette of Fabric Blue, Pure Grey, and Misty Grey colorways, along with two different finishes depending on the model – Washi and Paint. The wear-resistant paint1 is reinforced with diamond and stone powders, and offers 2.5 times the abrasion resistance of traditional coatings, ensuring that sustainability meets durability and style in every detail.
Effortless Daily Use
Designed for portability with a weight starting at about 3lbs, the ASUS Chromebook CX14/CX15 series features an expansive FHD wide-viewing-angle display with up to an 87% screen-to-body ratio2, delivering an immersive visual experience. Its 180° hinge supports versatile usage scenarios, and a touchscreen is available as an option.
The newly positioned I/O ports – including a useful HDMI port for an external display – are now ergonomically located at the upper left side of the chassis, which frees up space for mouse movement.
Easy to Service, Built to Last
The redesigned bottom cover features only four screws, allowing easy disassembly and convenient access to the components, while the introduction of captive screws ensures they are not easily lost. ASUS also introduced a new screwless battery latching system where a bracket is used to secure the battery to enable quick, tool-free swap-outs.
The ASUS Chromebook CX14/CX15 series also features a rugged design that’s tested to meet the MIL-STD-810H US military-grade standard3, ensuring a long and reliable lifespan.
Chromebook Plus Option
The ASUS Chromebook CX14/CX15 series also offers the option of Chromebook Plus with built-in Google AI features, delivering an advanced blend of creativity and productivity. With Chromebook Plus, users will receive 12 months of the Google One AI Premium plan at no extra cost, providing priority access to Gemini Advanced, 2TB of cloud storage, and integrated AI tools in Gmail, Docs, and more4. Users can create custom wallpapers and video call backgrounds as unique as they are, while Gemini offers writing assistance for everything from blog posts to social media captions. The FHD webcam and AI-powered video call tools optimize clarity, reduce noise, and blur backgrounds, with simple one-click controls for mic and camera privacy.

1 The ASUS Wear-resistant paint only applies to specific color options. The ASUS internal testing compared the abrasion resistance of PU coating by rubbing wool felt with a 500g force to ASUS’s wear resistance paint technique, which uses wool felt with a 200g force.
2 Screen-to-body ratio varies according to model.
3 The testing regime includes the requirements of both military-grade standards and ASUS quality tests and varies depending on device. MIL-STD-810 testing is conducted on selected ASUS products only. Note that the MIL-STD-810 testing helps to ensure the quality of ASUS products but does not indicate a particular fitness for military use. The test is performed under laboratory conditions. Any damage caused by attempts to replicate these test conditions would be considered accidental, and would not be covered by the standard ASUS warranty
