ASUS Chromebook 14 CX1400CMA Full HD Chromebook (Intel Celeron N4020, 4GB RAM, 64GB eMMC, Google Chrome OS)

I was a bit worried purchasing a recon laptop but needn’t have been! Its excellent! Great size screen, very easy to set up and no problems at all with it and saved myself a fair amount of money compared to buying a new one

I was initially hesitant to order this laptop as it wasn’t clear if it could work with a monitor or tv etc, I did buy a HDMI to usb c adaptor also and this work! It’s a great laptop for basic tasks you can download a fair few apps to including Microsoft teams etc. It was great that it was on prime day sale too so very good price for what it is.

Chromebooks are brilliant for kids. Fantastic value, they do what most people need from a computer very well, no virus updates to worry about etc. This particular laptop seems good quality, has a clear/crisp screen and runs very fast.

Got this for £139 with payments over 6 months. 21-11-23. I charged it straight away and you will know when it's charged as the light goes from red to white. 2 minutes to set up and if I can set it up then anyone can set it up. For a capital letter - press shift and your letter - easy. For stuff you can't find straight away - press on the time, bottom right off your screen and that will take you to where you need to go. Camera - very good. Volume is not the best but it's not poor either. I charged it last night and it's still on near full capacity, 12 hours later. Granted, I wasn't on it much but still good to know. I won't need to have my desktop on all day now saving on the electric bill. I go to a caravan park twice a year with no internet access. As far as I'm aware, I can transfer my mobile data on to this laptop - perfect. If you're a parent and you're not rich then as a child I would be very happy if I was opening this on Christmas Day but that's just my opinion. I was tempted to get an Apple laptop at £799 for my first laptop but I thought - why? I've had this a day and for the price, I will be shocked if something drastically goes wrong.

Good

I've been delighted with this £139 laptop. Why did I ever pay the inflated prices of Windows machines? At first sight, this is a cut-down machine with fewer keys on the keypad. There are no delete, copy, print-screen, or Windows keys, but all the remaining keys are useful and I soon learned to use backspace, ctrl C, ctrl P, etc. instead.

At the minute im upsett with this laptop. Because when you go on an app. Its only the size of your phone and tablet. On the screen. Iv googled to get help. But it seams that. Its just how it is. So if you go on facebook or photos. You have an option. To have the screen the size of your phone. Or the size of your tablet. Which is small compared to the screen. Had i have know this id have never purchased this. Theres loads of screen left blank. Behind the app your opening. Its rubbish.

It's a budget device, so it's quite slow, the screen isn't very bright and the sound is poor. But for the price it is perfectly acceptable. Great for everyday tasks, web browsing etc. Recommended, unless you want to pay more for higher performance.
