TAIPEI, Taiwan, August 24, 2022 — ASUS today announced the newest additions to the ASUS Chromebook family — the 11.6-inch ASUS Chromebook CX1 and ASUS Chromebook Flip CX1. These all-new lightweight laptops boast modern, voguish aesthetics and are designed to empower modern on-the-go lifestyles.
With a bright, clear 11.6-inch display, the new models are powered by an up to quad-core Intel® Pentium® Silver processor. They’re also engineered with WiFi 6 and a long-lasting battery that delivers up to 10 hours1 of productivity on a single charge, handing users the freedom to breeze through everyday tasks. Both new ASUS Chromebook CX1 models offer flexible hinge designs to enable users to create, collaborate or relax.
With smooth performance, robust security and convenient features, these two new ASUS Chromebooks are perfect for empowering seamless entertainment and productivity for everyone – and primed for hybrid work and learning.
Lightweight and flexible design
The latest ASUS Chromebook CX1 models embody pure style with a distinctively trendy look and feel. Weighing as little at 1.21 kg2 , the design also embraces sustainability, with recycled materials built in to make it more environmentally friendly. The 180° hinge feature of the ASUS Chromebook CX1 allows the device to be laid completely flat on a desk, table or lap, making it easy to collaborate and share content with nearby friends or colleagues. ASUS Chromebook Flip CX1 benefits from a 360° hinge that allows the display to be fully rotated, enabling in traditional clamshell, tent, stand and tablet modes.
Resilience, built right in
With structural reinforcements to boost chassis strength, ASUS Chromebook CX1 and ASUS Chromebook Flip are solidly built and provide durability for daily use and travel. They also meet next-level and industry-leading MIL-STD 810H US military tests3 , which are more rigorous and demanding than ever before. Additionally, the laptops undergo stringent in-house testing — including panel-pressure, shock and drop tests — to ensure maximum strength and resilience, so there’s no need to worry about everyday knocks and bumps.
Smart productivity
With a powerful up to quad-core Intel Pentium Silver processor, the new ASUS Chromebook CX1 models deliver excellent performance for responsive experiences with favorite apps. They also offer dual-band WiFi 6 (802.11ax) for strong, stable signals and superfast speeds, allowing online content to be loaded in the blink of an eye. Connectivity is improved further by exclusive ASUS technologies — such as ASUS WiFi Master Premium for ChromeOS4 — that ensure greater speed, stability and range for WiFi connections, helping users stay connected anywhere.
ASUS Chromebook CX1 and ASUS Chromebook Flip CX1 are also power-efficient, with a long-life battery designed to last for up to 10 hours5 on a single charge, empowering work or play throughout the day.
The best of ChromeOS
Combined with the full capabilities of Google Workspace and other productivity apps from Google Play6 , the new 11.6-inch ASUS Chromebook CX1 additions have everything needed to get anything done, all in one place. Updates7sup and anti-virus protection are both built in and automated, seamlessly keeping both the device and its data safe and secure – and ensuring that the user always benefits from the latest features and protection.
Users can get more done fast using their voice. Sending an email, finding documents, listening to music, accessing a calendar or controlling smart home devices can all be executed by saying “OK Google” – with no need to switch apps or screens.
