Asus has introduced another laptop, the Chromebook CX15 (CX1505CTA), to the Indian market. The new laptop is aimed at professionals, students, and anyone searching for a simple, durable laptop. This model runs ChromeOS and relies significantly on AI tools, making things light, portable, and efficient throughout the day. The specifications are solid: an Intel N50 processor, 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM, 128GB of eMMC storage, and a 15.6-inch Full HD anti-glare display.
The Google AI Pro membership that comes with this Chromebook is what really sets it different. You gain access to Gemini AI tools and a variety of premium Google services straight out of the box.
Asus Chromebook CX15: Price in India and availability
The CX15 lands at Rs 47,990 and comes in Pure Grey. You will find it on the Asus eShop, Asus Exclusive Stores, ROG Stores, Asus’s retail partners, Reliance Digital, and other big-name offline retailers. Asus is also giving buyers the option to grab it on no-cost EMI from Rs 3,999 a month, plus you get a one-year warranty and one year of accidental damage protection.
15.6-inch full HD display and Intel N50 processor
Now, that 15.6-inch Full HD IPS NanoEdge display is sharp, hitting 300 nits of brightness with an 87 per cent screen-to-body ratio and a 16:9 aspect ratio. Colour coverage hits 45 per cent NTSC. The Intel N50 processor runs alongside Intel UHD Graphics, 8GB RAM, and 128GB of eMMC storage. Because it’s running ChromeOS, you also get automatic security updates, so you are covered on that front.
Google AI Pro membership included
The Google AI Pro membership is a big plus here. For 3-months, users get tools like the Gemini AI assistant, Gemini Notebook, enhanced AI features in Gmail, Docs, and Sheets; Google Flow; Nano Banana AI image generation; premium photo editing in Google Photos; YouTube Premium Lite; and a whopping 5TB of cloud storage. That’s a lot of productivity and creativity baked in.
Connectivity, battery and durability
The connectivity options include Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C ports (both with Power Delivery and DisplayPort), a USB Type-A, HDMI 1.4, and a conventional 3.5mm headphone jack. Security is not an afterthought: Asus includes a Titan-C security chip, a Kensington Nano Security Slot, and a 720p HD webcam with physical privacy shutter.
The battery should see you through the day. There is a 42Wh battery with 45W USB Type-C fast charging, and Asus claims up to 12.5 hours on a single charge. It weighs 1.59kg, has a spill-resistant keyboard with 1.35mm key travel, and satisfies US MIL-STD-810H military durability standards. So it’s designed to withstand daily hits and travel just fine.
