ASUS Chromebook CM14 Laptop, 14″ HD Anti-Glare Display (1366×768), MediaTek Kompanio 520, 4GB RAM, 64GB eMMC, ChromeOS, Gray, CM1402CM2A-DS44, Gravity Grey

Sturdy & fair price
This is/was a few $ more than my previous Asus Chromebooks while boasting similar stats. Unlike this, either of my prior computers boasted a sturdy design. Both lasted longer than expected and survived serious damage. While I was annoyed to need to spend about $80 more for a comparably equipped Chromebook, I can say that this is notably more robust feeling and rigid than the others. It’s not light, but it’s similar to Chromebooks that have had in the past. One month of ownership is two soon to speak to it’s durability. My rating reflects my lack of disappointment. My only concern is that it’s sharp edges and more rigid design will actually be a point of weakness rather than strength as they seem more likely to break than bend when dropped or bumped. My previous Chromebooks withstood multiple spills and splashes despite not having been advertised as being water resistant. I have not tested this but hope that this laptop is even more spill resistant than my past Chromebooks.

Excellent computer
I bought this laptop refurbished as a backup for my primary (and increasingly unreliable) older Windows laptop. I have had nothing but good experiences with ASUS laptops.Pros: 1) Easy to use for most apps out of the box; 2) Adaptive options (I need visual adaptations); 3) Chrome OS is stable; Excellent camera for video calls (I didn’t have to balance this laptop on a box.); 4) fast and no hang ups.Cons:1) Not all Android apps work on the Chrome OS. Microsoft 365 apps can only be used in the online versions which lack some functionality, although Microsoft has recently added features; 2) Initially, the computer wouldn’t let me log in. I had to reset the operating system to be able to initially log in; 3) the computer is very sensitive to the strength of your wi-fi network.If you want to use Microsoft 365 apps on this computer, don’t install OneDrive or any MS Word related extensions for the Chrome browser. Any of these will prevent MS 365 apps from running online.All in all, an excellent general purpose laptop.

It doesn’t even have a touch screen…
So I bought this Chromebook shortly after my old Google Chromebook died… I’m looking through when I see Asus, “ooh, I like them!” Have lactas products for a long time, ever since I bought a little netbook back in 2008… I bought most of their phones, admittedly there’s zenfone 9 was less than ideal.. But surely that was a fluke right?I like to do art… Writing, actual drawing… Things like that. I don’t do that on my normal computer cuz I will completely sidetrack myself…So my old Chromebook died. This was the choice… It finally came in and I was so excited to finally get started. Oh, it comes with a mouse! I thought that was unusual, I guess I should have taken that as a red flag.By the time I had logged into my Gmail account, I had figured out that this phone doesn’t have a touch screen. I haven’t even tried anything beyond this, I can’t believe they’re still making Chromebooks like this… It blows my mind… Bad enough when I’m at work and I try to hit the screen to make something happen, and forget I have to use my mouse… Not doing that at home.

I love this Chromebook
The price is right and the value is great. I use this everyday and I love what I get for the money and it’s so easy to use.

The first delivery didn’t arrive which I refunded and ordered another one. Been using it for lightweight web browsing and email and the battery life is really great! it’s one of the cheaper chromebook with a usb-c port charger which was convenient to charge. The rugged material is a bonus too
