Reviews for the Asus ExpertBook CX5403, Ultra 5 115U
Source: Android Police
Anytime you are looking to buy a premium device, you have to determine your use case. If you want a laptop with an excellent display, great performance, and a solid keyboard, the Asus CX54 Chromebook Plus is well worth the investment. But if you need a laptop that lasts an entire work or school day, the CX54 may not make a ton of sense. Using this Chromebook on my lap also caused some issues, but if you typically use your laptop on a hard surface, it won't matter much. As it stands, the $700 Asus CX54 Chromebook Plus does a lot right. It’s well-built and is easy to travel with thanks to its small size. It also offers plenty of ports, allowing you to connect various devices or external monitors with ease. Add that to the impressive performance and display, and Asus has a winner on its hands, as long as you can handle the short battery life.

Intel Graphics 4-Core: Integrated graphics card based on the Xe LPG architecture (similar to the dedicated Arc GPUs, but with a focus on efficiency). Provides 4 Xe cores (64 Xe vector engines) and 4 ray tracing units.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

Ultra 5 115U: A lower-end Meteor Lake chip that debuted some time in 2024. This 1st Gen Core Ultra processor has 8 cores (2 + 4 + 2) and 10 threads at its disposal. Due to its slightly lower clock speeds and a lower number of E-cores, the 115U should be 10% to 15% slower than the 125U in multi-threaded tasks. The 4-core Arc Graphics, in the meantime, should be just a little slower than the aging 96 EU Iris Xe GPU.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

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.
