Reviews for the Asus Chromebook CX9400, i5-1135G7

80% Asus Chromebook CX9
Source: PC Mag English
We've been impressed with Intel's 11th Generation mobile chips in Windows notebooks, and we're impressed with them in Chrome OS laptops, too. The Asus Chromebook CX9 is costly at $999.99 for our well-equipped Core i5 unit or $1,249.99 for a Core i7 model with a 4K display, but your money buys you a nearly faultless corporate Chromebook, with nothing important missing except maybe mobile broadband for use away from Wi-Fi hotspots. It's light yet sturdy, with great performance, plenty of ports, and a first-class screen and keyboard. A $100 or $200 price cut would have captured it an Editors' Choice award.

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.
