Our take on the Asus Chromebook Plus CX3402 14" FHD Chromebook
The Asus Chromebook Plus CX3402 is a 14-inch laptop with a 1920x1080 display, a 13th-gen Intel Core i5 and 8GB of RAM, running ChromeOS. It is part of Google's Chromebook Plus line, which sets a floor for performance and adds AI features like Gemini and Magic Eraser. It suits students and browser-first workers who want a fast, light machine without Windows. Against budget Chromebooks it is quicker and better built; against Windows ultrabooks it is simpler and cheaper but limited to web and Android apps.

Questions and answers
- Is the Asus CX3402 good for everyday work?
- Yes for browser-based work: Google Docs, video calls, email and dozens of tabs run smoothly on the i5 and 8GB of RAM. It is not the machine for heavy video editing or Windows-only software.
- Can it run Windows apps?
- No. It runs ChromeOS, so you use web apps and Android apps from the Play Store. Windows programs need a virtual machine or a different laptop.
- How does it compare with a budget Chromebook?
- It is faster and has a better 1080p screen than entry Chromebooks, and it carries the Chromebook Plus feature set. Budget models cost less but slow down sooner with many tabs.
- Is the RAM or storage upgradeable?
- On most CX3402 configurations the memory is soldered, so buy the 8GB version you need. Storage is eMMC or SSD depending on the model and is not meant for user upgrades.
- What is in the box?
- The laptop and a USB-C power adapter. It charges over USB-C, so a phone charger also works for slow top-ups.
- Does it have a backlit keyboard?
- Backlighting varies by configuration, so check the specific model. The keyboard itself is a standard ChromeOS layout with a search key.
