The CX14 is a lightweight Chromebook that boots up quickly, multitasks easily, and stays cool and battery-efficient thanks to the Intel Core 3 processor on board. You've got 8GB of RAM here -- plenty for a Chromebook and the efficient ChromeOS -- as well as 128GB of eMMC local storage. This is a device ideal for working out of Google Drive and the browser, while taking advantage of the 1080p webcam for hopping on calls.
Ready to branch out from Windows? If you're looking for a thin and light laptop for work, school, or everyday use, and you're interested in divesting your reliance on Microsoft, you may want to consider a Chromebook. There has been no shortage of snappy, easy-to-use Chromebooks in 2025. For example, one of my favorites, the Lenovo Chromebook Plus, has become my go-to travel device for its portability, marathon battery, and satisfying physical design.
