NotebookcheckSep 2025
Well made, silent and frugal, but the slow Celeron and dim TN screen make it suitable only for quiet typing in places like libraries; MediaTek Chromebooks are faster (tested: CX1405CKA, Celeron N4500, 4 GB, 128 GB).

HelenTechApr 2025
A decent cheap Chromebook for beginners or as a second device if bought on sale, held back mainly by its screen (tested: Japan CX1405CKA-NK0087/A, Celeron N4500, 8 GB, 64 GB - India sells only 4 GB versions).
