Pros and Cons

Asus Chromebook CX9

Strengths

It's got a huge glass track pad
The keyboard is very, very good
The trackpad is equally well made with a great click
It has military grade toughness and durability
The screen is fantastic
It's packed to the gills with specs

Weaknesses

It just doesn't click with me
I wish it would be a convertible when I need it
It picks up fingerprints worse than any chromebook I've ever used
The disappointing speakers or it's angular boxy design may be off-putting
The clamshell hinge is not the most flexible, sometimes limiting its usability
It feels disjointed to me, unlike a perfect example like the Pixelbook Go

Asus ROG Strix G17 G713R

Strengths

The laptop has a powerful RTX 3080 TI with 150 watts of TGP, making it a beast for gaming.
The battery life is outstanding, lasting around 12 hours of web browsing or nearly 10 hours of video playback on a single charge.
The 360hz display offers crazy quick pixel response times and good contrast ratio, making it ideal for gaming.
The laptop comes with two DDR5 RAM slots, which are 50% faster in writing data compared to the DDR4 RAM in last year's model.
The liquid metal compound used for cooling the CPU is an upgrade over previous models, keeping the keyboard well-insulated and cool.

Weaknesses

The laptop weighs between 2.5-2.8 kilos due to the extra heat pipes in more powerful setups, which might be a drawback for some users.
There's no camera above the display, but this is traded off for the mux switch, which allows direct communication between the graphics card and screen.
The laptop can get warm, with the keyboard reaching 39 degrees after over 30 minutes of gameplay.
The lack of a significant design change compared to previous models might be a letdown for some users.
There's no information on the price of the top-tier configuration, which might be a concern for budget-conscious buyers.

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.
