ASUS just launched the Chromebook CX1 (CX1101), the company’s latest Chromebook in India, after it teased it last week. It has an 11.6-inch anti-glare HD display, comes with a spill-resistant keyboard with a 1.5 mm key travel, and has a 180° lay-flat hinge that allows it to be fully opened and laid completely flat on a desk or table.
With structural reinforcements to boost chassis strength, ASUS Chromebook CX1 is solidly built and provides durability for all your travels and meets industry-leading MIL-STD 810H US military tests. Additionally, the device undergoes stringent in-house testing — including panel-pressure, shock and drop tests — for ensuring maximal toughness, so you don’t have to worry about everyday knocks and bumps, says the company.
The Chromebook is powered by a Quad-Core Intel Celeron N4020 Processor compared to Intel Celeron N3350 processor in its budget models, and promises up to 13 hours of battery life on a single charge.
