We thought that Asus only announced two ChromeOS products at CES 2023 — Chromebook Vibe CX34 Flip and Chromebox 5. However, it turns out that the company quietly unveiled a third ChromeOS device called Chromebook CM14. This laptop also comes in a convertible version called Chromebook CM14.
For some reason, Asus did not share any
press release for this product. But the computer was showcased at the MediaTek
booth. The firm has even listed the device on its website and shared a short
product video on YouTube. The Asus Chromebook CM14 series comes powered by a
MediaTek Kompanio 520 chipset. The silicon is paired with up to 8GB LPDDR4x RAM
and 128GB eMMC storage.
The Flip model sports a 14-inch FHD (1920
x 1080 pixels) display (LCD) with a 360° hinge. The panel supports touch input
and USI stylus input. On the other hand,
the regular model also has a 14-inch display. However, customers can choose
between HD (1366 x 768 pixels) and FHD (1920 x 1080 pixels) resolution. These
panels don’t carry support for touch input.
Further, the MIL-STD 810H-certified laptop
arrives with multiple ports, such as 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C, 1 x USB 3.2 Gen
1 Type-A, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a MicroSD card reader. Wireless
connectivity options on the computer include WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1. The
device also arrives with a Titan C security chip and a Kensington Nano security
slot. Last but not least, it is backed by a 42 Wh battery and carries support
for 45W fast charging.
Asus is yet to reveal the pricing and
availability details of Chromebook CM14 and Chromebook CM14 Flip.
