After launching new ROG laptops and expanding its Zenbook and Vivobook lineup, Asus has unveiled three new Chromebooks at CES 2021. The Chromebook CX9, the Chromebook Flip CX5/C536, and a gaming-centric Chromebook Flip CM5 are the latest additions to the Taiwanese company’s portfolio.
Chromebook CX9
Powered by the new Intel 11th-Gen processors, the Chromebook CX9 is a work-centric laptop that aims to aid corporate users. The device looks like any other modern notebook and features a sleek design. It is just 16mm thick and weighs around 1 kg.
Coming to the second model, the Chromebook Flip CX5/ C536 (depending on the region) is also powered by the latest Intel 11th-Gen processors. However, unlike the previous model, this one features a 360-degree hinge design that makes it a 2-in-1 Chromebook.
Lastly, the Asus Chromebook Flip CM5 is a similar device to the previous CX5/C536 but features a gaming-laptop-style design with highlighted WASD keys. However, unlike the previous two models, the CM5 is powered by AMD’s gaming-centric Ryzen 3000-series mobile processors. It could be a great pick for Google Stadia gamers.
So, these were the three new Chromebooks that Asus unveiled at CES 2021 recently. While the company provided the specs details of the devices, it did not mention anything about the pricing of the devices or the date of launch. However, Asus will provide these details in the coming days.
