With structural reinforcements to boost chassis strength, ASUS Chromebook CX1100 is solidly built and provides durability for all your travels. It also meets next-level and industry-leading MIL-STD 810H US military tests, which are more rigorous and demanding than ever before. Additionally, the device undergoes stringent in-house testing including panel-pressure, shock and drop tests for ensuring maximal toughness, so you don’t have to worry about everyday knocks and bumps.
Chromebooks are – by design – cheap, disposable computing. Everything is stored in the cloud, the device itself is just the more or less stupid endpoint to display web-based content and applications. No need for huge amounts of storage, no need for fast, modern CPUs, everything is as basic as it gets. Disposable. If I lose my Chromebook, do I bother? I don’t think so.
ASUS Chromebook CX1100 11.6″ Laptop Review
Cheap convenience. Useful battery life. A good enough display that my eyes don’t hurt. Good enough keyboard and trackpad to do substantial work. Good enough sound to enjoy the odd YouTube/Netflix. Maybe a touch screen, especially when you consider using your Chromebook with Android apps.
The screen is nothing to write home about. SD resolution, but on an 11″ display, it’s fair. Even more so with the limited battery capacity of an 11″ device. The one thing that bugs me is that it isn’t a touchscreen, but I knew that before and I can make do with a trackpad.
The keyboard is fair. Not the best, but definitively not the worst that I have seen. Perfectly usable. Audio quality and volume are again perfectly adequate.
Battery life is good enough for a day’s work, I guess. There is no annoying fan and everything is as convenient as it can be. Build quality isn’t that much. It’s – again – perfectly adequate. It can take a bump and a scratch and I don’t give a flying handkerchief.
Overall, for the price, the ASUS Chromebook CX1100 11.6″ Laptop is a nop brainer.
