Taipei, Taiwan, April 18, 2025 — 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 1.39kg[i]. 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[ii].
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[iii]: 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[iv] 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 1.39kg, the ASUS Chromebook CX14/CX15 series features an expansive FHD wide-viewing-angle display with up to an 87% screen-to-body ratio[v], 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, 2TB of cloud storage, and integrated AI tools in Gmail, Docs, and more [vi]. 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.

[i] Weight varies according to model and specifications.
[ii] 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
[iii] Color and finish choices are dependent on model and options.
[iv] 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.
[v] Screen-to-body ratio varies according to model.
[vi] $239.88 value, for a limited time only. Cancel anytime. Gemini Advanced is only available for ages 18+. Gemini in Gmail, Docs, and more are only available in English and for ages 18+.
