Powerful performance for everyday tasks

Get through your day without slowdowns, with the MediaTek Kompanio 540 octa-core processor handling web browsing, video calls, document editing and multiple open tabs smoothly and efficiently. The fanless design means completely silent operation too, which is particularly useful in classrooms and shared study environments where noise matters.

Clear and comfortable viewing

Enjoy a sharp, detailed view of everything you do on a 14" Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) anti-glare display with an 86% screen-to-body ratio and a wide 178° viewing angle that stays clear and consistent from virtually any position. The anti-glare coating reduces reflections, making it comfortable to use in brightly lit classrooms, offices and living spaces throughout the day.

Long-lasting battery for all-day use

Stay connected and productive from morning to evening with up to 15 hours of battery life, giving you a full school or working day without needing to find a socket. It's one of the most practical features of the CM14 for students and commuters who are constantly on the move and can't always guarantee access to a charger.

Fast and reliable wireless connectivity

Get fast, reliable wireless performance wherever you are with WiFi 6 (802.11ax) delivering a noticeably more stable and responsive connection than older WiFi standards. Bluetooth 5.4 keeps peripherals and accessories paired quickly, so your setup stays connected and ready to use from the moment you open the lid.

Privacy protection with a built-in camera shutter

Feel completely in control of your privacy with a built-in 720p HD webcam and a physical privacy shutter that blocks the camera entirely when you don't need it. It's a simple but genuinely reassuring feature for video calls, online lessons and everyday use in shared or public environments.

Flexible connectivity for all your accessories

Connect everything you need without the hassle of adapters, with 2 USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 ports (supporting DisplayPort and Power Delivery), a USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 port, HDMI 1.4 and a 3.5mm audio combo jack all available out of the box. Full-size HDMI is a particularly useful addition at this price point, making it straightforward to connect to a monitor or projector.

FAQs

The ASUS Chromebook Essential CM14 is a budget-friendly 14" Chromebook designed for everyday tasks including web browsing, video calls, document editing and media consumption. It is ideal for students, first-time laptop users or anyone looking for a reliable and affordable second device.

The CM14 is powered by the MediaTek Kompanio 540, an ARM-based 8-core processor running at up to 2.6GHz. Its fanless design means completely silent operation, which is particularly useful in study environments and it handles everyday ChromeOS tasks and Android apps smoothly.

The CM14 comes with 4GB LPDDR5X RAM and 64GB eMMC storage. ChromeOS is a lightweight operating system that makes efficient use of RAM and the cloud-first design means most documents and media are stored in Google Drive rather than on the device itself.

The CM14 includes 2 USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 ports (which support display and Power Delivery), 1 USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 port, an HDMI 1.4 output and a 3.5mm audio combo jack. The inclusion of full-size HDMI is a useful feature at this price point, removing the need for an adapter to connect to a monitor or projector.

The CM14 is equipped with a 42Wh battery with ASUS rating battery life at up to 12 hours, making it practical for a full day of study or work without needing to charge.

Yes. The CM14 is a practical choice for students. It runs ChromeOS which boots quickly, stays secure automatically and works seamlessly with Google Workspace. Its lightweight design, silent operation and long battery life make it easy to carry and use throughout the school day.

Yes. The CM14 supports Android apps through the Google Play Store, giving you access to a wide range of apps for productivity, creativity and entertainment beyond the standard browser experience.

Yes. The CM14 passes up to 24 US MIL-STD-810H military-grade durability tests, providing confidence that it can withstand the bumps and knocks of everyday student life.

The CM14 supports WiFi 6 (802.11ax) and Bluetooth 5.4. WiFi 6 delivers faster and more reliable wireless performance than older WiFi standards, keeping you connected at home or in educational settings.

The CM14 is designed as a more affordable, entry-level option, while the Chromebook Plus CX14 offers more performance (Intel Core 3 processor, more RAM) and access to Gemini AI features. If you need a straightforward, budget-conscious Chromebook for core tasks, the CM14 is a great choice. If you want more power and AI tools, the CX14 is worth considering.
