The two larger models feature ASUS NanoEdge ultra-narrow-bezel displays1 for the first time, giving an improved screen-to-body ratio of up to 80% that makes them more compact than ever.

The power-efficient ASUS Chromebook series is designed to last for up to 10 hours2 on a single charge, so users can work or play throughout the day while they're on the move, and the powerful up to quad-core Intel® processors deliver speedy performance for popular apps. With robust security, convenient features, the full power of G Suite and access to millions of Android apps on Google Play, the new ASUS Chromebook series is the ideal choice for anyone who's always on the go.

ASUS Chromebook C423 and C523: Ultra-compact NanoEdge design

ASUS Chromebook C423 and C523 feature 14-inch and 15.6-inch ASUS NanoEdge anti-glare displays, with up to FHD (1920 x 1080) resolution and ultra-narrow side bezels — just 5.8mm on ASUS Chromebook C423 — that maximize the screen area for immersive visuals while minimizing the footprint. Touchscreen options are also available, with 10-point multi-touch capability for an even more intuitive experience.

These models also feature a versatile and durable 180° lay-flat hinge for easy sharing of screen contents with friends or colleagues. The hinge is subjected to a grueling 20,000-cycle open-and-close test to ensure long-term reliability.
