You can adjust the scaling back down to native resolution and it looks suitably crisp. However, I can\u2019t say the same about the washed-out colors, dim max brightness, and poor viewing angles of the TN display.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-eVDQiB byBkf asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-eJxoAx dBHGoQ asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-umhxW kGxnNB responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-cWuUZO dUOtEa AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Left and right side view of a black laptop showing the ports on each side\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-eybHBd fptoWY responsive-image__image lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66aaaeb56c948a65a868380d\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/Asus-Chromebook-CM14-Side-Ports-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Daniel-Thorp-Lancaster.jpg\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66aaaeb56c948a65a868380d\/master\/w_120,c_limit\/Asus-Chromebook-CM14-Side-Ports-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Daniel-Thorp-Lancaster.jpg 120w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66aaaeb56c948a65a868380d\/master\/w_240,c_limit\/Asus-Chromebook-CM14-Side-Ports-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Daniel-Thorp-Lancaster.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66aaaeb56c948a65a868380d\/master\/w_320,c_limit\/Asus-Chromebook-CM14-Side-Ports-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Daniel-Thorp-Lancaster.jpg 320w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66aaaeb56c948a65a868380d\/master\/w_640,c_limit\/Asus-Chromebook-CM14-Side-Ports-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Daniel-Thorp-Lancaster.jpg 640w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66aaaeb56c948a65a868380d\/master\/w_960,c_limit\/Asus-Chromebook-CM14-Side-Ports-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Daniel-Thorp-Lancaster.jpg 960w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66aaaeb56c948a65a868380d\/master\/w_1280,c_limit\/Asus-Chromebook-CM14-Side-Ports-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Daniel-Thorp-Lancaster.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66aaaeb56c948a65a868380d\/master\/w_1600,c_limit\/Asus-Chromebook-CM14-Side-Ports-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Daniel-Thorp-Lancaster.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"100vw\"\/><\/noscript><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptionCredit-ejegDm iUEiRd isTgyB fNaHcW caption__credit\">Photograph: Daniel Thorp-Lancaster<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>If there\u2019s one superpower the MediaTek platform brings to the CM14, it\u2019s efficiency. I was impressed with the battery life I could eke out of this laptop, clocking in around 10 to 11 hours of mixed use throughout a normal workday. Asus claims you can get up to 15 hours of battery life, so you may be able to squeeze out even more depending on how you use it.<\/p>\n<p>The webcam isn\u2019t anything special, giving you a 720p shooter that looks OK on video calls. You get a physical switch to block it for extra privacy, which is a nice touch. Ports are also relatively good for the price. There are two USB-C ports, one USB-A port, a 3.5-mm headphone jack, and one microSD card slot. The microSD slot is handy if you want extra storage, as the 64 GB of built-in storage is sure to become restrictive.<\/p>\n<h2>Hunt for Sales<\/h2>\n<p>So should you buy the Asus Chromebook CM14? Maybe. When you dip into the budget range, there are always trade-offs, and they\u2019re evident in the poor display and performance struggles. However, bright spots like great battery life, a solid build, and a good keyboard make the CM14 a Chromebook worth considering if you can get by with the most basic of basics.<\/p>\n<p>What makes this a tough decision is the aggressive pricing I\u2019ve seen on more capable Chromebook Plus laptops, which start at $399 but are frequently on sale for much less. At the Chromebook CM14\u2019s full $299 price, it\u2019s worth considering whether you can pick up a more powerful option, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/review\/acer-chromebook-plus-514\/\">Acer Chromebook Plus 514<\/a>, by spending a little extra when it\u2019s on sale. That said, I\u2019ve seen the CM14 dip to $180 when it\u2019s on sale, and it\u2019s absolutely a great buy at that price.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The good news is that the keyboard and trackpad are pretty good here.
