Know before you buy
Yes, the 144Hz refresh rate makes everyday tasks like scrolling through long documents or browsing the web feel significantly smoother and more responsive compared to a standard 60Hz screen.
The garaged stylus is excellent for quick note-taking, annotating documents, and casual sketching. However, it is not intended for high-end professional illustration or complex graphic design work.
The RGB keyboard provides a comfortable typing experience with good tactile feedback. While the lighting is designed for gaming, you can adjust or turn off the backlight to suit a professional office environment.
The CX3 is built to meet MIL-STD 810H military-grade standards, meaning it is tested to withstand drops, vibrations, and temperature extremes. It is a robust choice for students or commuters who need a device that can handle daily wear and tear.
No, the ASUS Antimicrobial Guard is a surface treatment that inhibits the growth of bacteria. You can clean the laptop using standard electronics-safe wipes or a soft, lint-free cloth without damaging the protective layer.
Since ChromeOS relies heavily on cloud storage and web-based applications, 256GB is more than enough for most users. If you need extra space for local files, you can easily expand it using the built-in microSD card slot.
