Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 vs Asus Chromebook Plus CX34

The Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 is the better machine for most people: an OLED touchscreen, a 60Wh battery rated up to 17 hours, Wi-Fi 7, a fingerprint reader and a 5MP camera with shutter beat the Asus on nearly every spec that matters. The Asus Chromebook Plus CX34 is the simpler, sturdier-feeling plastic build with a standard FHD panel and a 50Wh battery rated around 10 hours, and it caps memory at 8GB. Owners of the Lenovo praise the screen and battery life; the Asus is the pick only if you want a plain, no-frills Chromebook Plus and don't care about the display.

• Choose the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 if you want the OLED touchscreen, longer battery life and faster wireless, and you'll use it for photo editing, streaming or all-day work away from an outlet.
• Choose the Asus Chromebook Plus CX34 if you want a straightforward 14-inch Chromebook Plus for browsing, docs and video calls and don't need an OLED panel or a fingerprint reader.
