Computer brand ASUS has become extremely popular in Canada over the years — now the No. 1 in consumer Windows laptops, gaming laptops, consumer Chromebooks, and gaming desktops.
And for good reason: along with quality craftsmanship and aggressive pricing, the company offers several unique designs to suit varying tastes and budgets.
For those looking for a portable, affordable laptop, the ASUS CX14 is a 14-inch touchscreen Chromebook that’s ideal for your 9-to-5 work or school life, as well as your 5-to-9 downtime, for when you want to stream movies, play some games, or listen to podcasts.
It’s equipped with the competent Intel Celeron N4500 processor, 8GB of RAM and 128GB of eMMC storage to store apps you download from the integrated Google Play store.
Cool to the touch and only 0.78 inches thick, this ASUS laptop enjoys military-grade durability, says the company, to withstand the bumps and knocks of everyday life on the go. It’s not the lightest laptop at over 3 pounds, but it does feel ruggedized, which is important to many.
The NanoEdge anti-glare touchscreen enjoys Full HD resolution, while the 42Wh battery lasts up to 12.5 hours in our testing – the best out of all laptops in this round-up.
Along the sides of this light grey laptop, you’ll find one USB Type-C port, one USB-A, one HDMI port and a 3.5mm headphone/microphone jack.
