Is the ASUS CX1 good for schoolwork?

Yes for Google Docs, Classroom, email and browsing. It struggles with heavy multitasking, so keep tabs to a handful.

Can I upgrade the RAM or storage?

No. The 4GB of RAM is soldered and the 64GB eMMC is not user-replaceable. Plan on cloud storage or a microSD card.

Does it have a touchscreen?

No. The CX1400 has a non-touch 14-inch FHD display.

How long does the battery last?

ASUS rates it up to 12 hours from a 50Wh battery. Expect less with video or many tabs.
