London, UK, January 7, 2026 — ASUS today announced the new ASUS Chromebook CL14/CL15 series of powerful yet budget-friendly 14-inch and 15.6-inch laptops featuring a stylish and sustainable premium design

The laptops are built for everyday productivity, with support for up to 8GB of LPDDR5x-6400 MT/s RAM and 128GB of eMMC storage. The FHD display with a wide viewing angle and up to an 87% screen-to-body ratio enhances the viewing experience. There's also full connectivity via an HDMI^® port and two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C^® full-function ports.

The series features an exciting range of six colours — with four choices for CL14 and four for CL15 — with three different surface finishes. The eco-conscious construction uses 30% recycled plastics.

Effortless power is on tap with MediaTek Kompanio 540 processor on an efficient Arm-based architecture, and easy portability is assured with a starting weight of just 1.35kg¹. A 180° lay-flat hinge allows the expansive FHD display to be easily shared, and HDMI support — a rare feature for this price point — enables enhanced learning, entertainment, and work experiences. Up to 20 hours of battery life² ensures maximum on-the-go convenience.

The ASUS Chromebook CL14/CL15 series is designed for easy routine maintenance, and these tough laptops also meet the latest MIL-STD-810H military-grade durability standards³.

Stylish and sustainable

The ASUS Chromebook CL14/CL15 series demonstrates the ASUS commitment to eco-conscious design, featuring EPEAT Climate+ certification, 30% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic components, and FSC™ Mix sustainable packaging.

CL14/CL15 are available in a vibrant palette of six chic colours⁴: CL14 comes in Fabric Blue, Pure Grey, Quiet Blue, and Misty Grey. CL15 comes in Fabric Blue, Pure Grey, Misty Green, and Cream Pink. Additionally, there are three different finishes depending on the model —washi, paint, and crystallice. The wear-resistant paint⁵ is reinforced with diamond and stone powders, and offers 2.5 times the abrasion resistance of traditional coatings, ensuring that sustainability meets durability and style in every detail.

Effortless daily use

Designed for effortless portability with a weight starting at just 1.35kg, the ASUS Chromebook CL14/CL15 series features an expansive FHD wide-viewing-angle display with up to an 87% screen-to-body ratio⁶, delivering an immersive visual experience. Its 180° hinge supports versatile usage scenarios, and touchscreen is also available as an option.

The newly positioned I/O ports — including a useful HDMI port for an external display — are now ergonomically located at the upper left side of the chassis, which frees up space for mouse movement, and CL15's numeric keypad aids quick data entry.

Easy to service, built to last

The redesigned bottom cover features only four screws, allowing easy disassembly and convenient access to the components, while the introduction of captive screws ensures they are not easily lost. We've also introduced a new screwless battery latching system. A bracket is used to secure the battery, enabling quick, tool-free swap-outs.

The ASUS Chromebook CL14/CL15 series also features a rugged design that's tested to meet or exceed the MIL-STD-810H US military-grade standard, ensuring a long and reliable lifespan.

Google AI Pro

Every eligible ASUS Chromebook CL14/CL15 comes with a three month trial of the Google AI Pro plan to help users supercharge their productivity and creativity⁷. With Google AI Pro, users can unlock higher access to new and powerful features in Gemini, Flow, and NotebookLM, enjoy 2TB of cloud storage, and access Gemini in Gmail, Docs and more.

¹ Weight varies according to model and specifications. ² Actual battery life depends on usage, specifications, applications and environment, among other factors. ³ The testing regime includes the requirements of both military-grade standards and ASUS quality tests, and varies depending on device. MIL-STD-810 testing is conducted on selected ASUS products only. Note that the MIL-STD-810 testing helps to ensure the quality of ASUS products but does not indicate a particular fitness for military use. The test is performed under laboratory conditions. Any damage caused by attempts to replicate these test conditions would be considered accidental, and would not be covered by the standard ASUS warranty ⁴ Colour and finish choices are dependent on model and options. ⁵ The ASUS wear-resistant paint only applies to specific colour options. The ASUS internal testing compared the abrasion resistance of PU coating by rubbing wool felt with a 500g force to ASUS's wear resistance paint technique, which uses wool felt with a 200g force. ⁶ Screen-to-body ratio varies according to model. ⁷ $59.97 value, for a limited time only.
