EDITOR’S VERDICT
Business leaders and professionals often must be out and about for their work, so need a laptop that can go anywhere too. ASUS’ ExpertBook CX54 Chromebook Plus fits that bill. It is lightweight and thin but doesn’t compromise on durability – which is needed if it is going in and out of a laptop bag and being transported on a regular basis. It also has the latest in AI capabilities, which increasing numbers of leaders are
demanding of their laptops to help them increase their productivity and automate some of their repetitive tasks to allow them to focus on bigger and more productive issues. It also is secure – something that is increasingly important with cyberthreats on the rise and the realities of working from anywhere where networks may not always be as secure as desired.
