Is the ASUS CM14 good for schoolwork?

Yes. The 14-inch Full HD touchscreen, 8 GB of RAM and Chrome OS cover docs, research tabs, video calls and Google Classroom well. It is a light, simple machine for essays and web assignments.

Can it run Windows programs like Office or Photoshop?

No. It runs Chrome OS, so you use web versions of Office and browser-based editors. Android apps from Google Play cover some gaps, but full Windows software will not install.

Is the touchscreen worth having on a Chromebook?

It helps with Android apps, scrolling and sketching, and the 1920x1080 panel is sharper than the 1366x768 screens on budget Chromebooks. If you only type, a non-touch model would do the same work.

How does it compare with Intel-based Chromebooks?

The MediaTek eight-core chip is fine for browsing, streaming and schoolwork, but Intel chips generally handle heavier multitasking and gaming better. The CM14's edge is the Full HD touchscreen and 8 GB of RAM at its tier.

Can I upgrade the RAM or storage?

No. The 8 GB of RAM is soldered to the board, so buy the configuration you need from the start. Local storage is limited, so plan on cloud storage and streaming.

Does it have Wi-Fi 6?

Yes. It supports Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), which gives faster and more stable connections on compatible routers and handles crowded home networks better than older Wi-Fi 5 laptops.
