On the other hand, the Asus CX14 Chromebook Plus shares many features with the CX15, though it comes with a slightly smaller 14-inch FHD display. Both versions retain the built-in Google AI capabilities.
Asus also offers base models of the CX14 and CX15, which have 14-inch and 15.6-inch FHD displays, respectively. However, these base models do not include the integrated Google AI features, so customers interested in those capabilities will need to opt for the Chromebook Plus versions. Both base models also carry the same rugged construction and removable bottom cover as their Chromebook Plus counterparts.
Available in seven stylish colors—Quiet Blue, Fabric Blue, Pure Grey, Misty Grey, Misty Green, Cream Pink, and Rock Grey—Asus offers various finishes tailored to the specific model chosen by consumers.
While the exact pricing of the new Chromebooks and Chromebook Plus models has not been released, Asus assures that they will be positioned as affordable options. Further details are expected to be announced soon.
