Reviews for the Asus Chromebook CX1400
Source: India Today
The Asus Chromebook CX1400 isn't just for media consumption, it's handy for students and casual users. Priced at Rs 19,999 on Amazon, it offers more features for its cost. Yet, it has a few drawbacks. Its design is simple and sturdy, but the keyboard feels a bit shaky. The touchpad isn't as responsive as other laptops in its price range, so using a separate mouse might be better. It comes with useful ports and can turn into a tablet, which is pretty neat. The screen is good, and the speakers make sound better. However, when I opened many tabs, it slowed down, especially with online tools. It doesn't get too hot, but the webcam isn't great, and some apps might not work perfectly. The battery lasted around 9 hours, not the promised 11 hours, which is still pretty good.

As promised, here’s the answer to “Who should buy the Asus Chromebook”. If you’re a student, or a writer, or your work revolves around Chrome or Android apps, you can buy this machine. Asus’ pricing makes it a sweet deal for students, and the battery backup ensures you can use it for hours without worrying about it dying on you. For writers and other office users, anything you can do in Chrome or on your phone, you can do on this machine. Even some light photo and video editing tasks run smoothly as you can install apps for them. Moreover, the 360-degree hinge, touchscreen, and affordable pricing also mean you can have it as a personal or secondary machine. Now, heavy users like gamers, coders, and video editors are better off with a Windows or Apple machine. But at this price, there are no alternatives to the value that the Asus Chromebook CX1400 has to offer. You can buy a more expensive machine and get more value out of it, but in my testing, this Chromebook seems good enough for most users who primarily work on Chrome.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
