ASUS today announced the new ASUS Chromebook CX14/CX15 series of powerful yet budget-friendly 14-inch and 15-inch laptops. The series features a stylish and sustainable premium design, and the laptops are also available with Chromebook Plus options for enhanced performance and Google AI experiences.

The series features an exciting range of seven colors—with five choices for CX14 and five for CX15—and three different surface finishes. The eco-conscious construction uses 30% recycled plastics.



Effortless power is on tap with up to an Intel Core N355 processor, and easy portability is assured with a starting weight of just 1.39 kg. A 180° lay-flat hinge allows the expansive FHD display to be easily shared, and HDMI support—a rare feature for this price point—enables enhanced learning, entertainment, and work experiences.

The ASUS Chromebook CX14/CX15 series is designed for easy routine maintenance, and these tough laptops also meet the latest MIL-STD-810H military-grade durability standards.

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.

CX14/CX15 are available in a vibrant palette of seven chic colors: Quiet Blue, Fabric Blue, Pure Grey, Misty Grey, Misty Green, Cream Pink, and Rock Grey. Additionally, there are three different finishes depending on the model—Crystallice, Washi, and Paint. The wear-resistant paint 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 effortless portability with a weight starting at just 1.39 kg, the ASUS Chromebook CX14/CX15 series features an expansive FHD wide-viewing-angle display with up to an 87% screen-to-body ratio, 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, and CX15's numeric keypad aids quick data entry.



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. We've also introduced a new screwless battery latching system. A bracket is used to secure the battery, enabling quick, tool-free swap-outs.

The ASUS Chromebook CX14/CX15 series also features a rugged design that's tested to meet or exceed the MIL-STD-810H US military-grade standard, 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. Users receive 12 months of the Google One AI Premium plan at no extra cost, providing priority access to Gemini Advanced, 2 TB of cloud storage, and integrated AI tools in Gmail, Docs, and more. 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.
