So, we're here at CES 2026 and we knew
that we were going to see some uh
Chromebooks with the Companion 540
inside. So, here's a second one. It's a
larger Chromebook. It is the CM15. Has
very similar specs to the other device
that we saw here, which is the the new
CM32 detachable 12-in tablet. So, let's
take a look real quick.
As you can see, this is the CX15
uh from I don't know about the last year
or so. We're not changing a ton here.
The materials are a little bit
different. ASUS is kind of focusing on a
handful of different textures.
Know that you're going to be able to
pick those up. It's very faint, but
think about like a textured wall kind of
wallpaper uh and then kind of this
carbon fibery look uh across their
Chromebook line, but this one has a
little bit of that texture to it. um
just kind of grippy. This one has the
Companio 540 inside, much like that
tablet we talked about in our other
video from Asus's booth. It's an
anti-glare screen. It looks pretty
bright, probably 300 nits if I had to
guess, but it's anti-glare. Looks nice
and sharp. The colors are pretty decent.
Um this is going to be an entry- level
type Chromebook for sure, but with that
Cinho inside, we're talking lots of
battery life. Um, they didn't give us a
lot of information on exactly what uh
RAM and memory and storage
configurations we're going to have on
this thing. So, we'll have to wait and
see. There's no availability. Uh, no
pricing yet set for it. But, this is a
pretty interesting device, honestly. Um,
from ASUS, I think it's going to be
great for schools, great for educators,
great for stuff like that. Uh, entry-
level model for sure, but a decent
looking device.
