Asus Chromebook CX9

The ASUS Chromebook CX9 is a powerhouse that checks all the right boxes on paper. With up to an 11th Gen Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of NVMe storage, it's a beast of a device. But despite its impressive specs, I couldn't help but feel a disconnect with this Chromebook. It's well-built, fast, and has all the features you'd want in a laptop, yet something just doesn't click. Is it the angular design or lackluster speakers? I'll dive deeper into my thoughts on this device in my full review.

Asus ExpertBook CX54 Chromebook Plus

The Asus Chromebook Plus CX54 has taken an unconventional path to market, but its wait was well worth it. This sleek, thin, and light all-metal Chromebook boasts a fantastic 14-inch Quad HD screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, making animations feel buttery smooth. The device's rigid chassis and expansive port selection are also noteworthy features, particularly the inclusion of two USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 4 support.
