NEW DELHI: ASUS lists the Chromebook CX1405CKA at Rs 31,990 and the larger CX1505CKA at Rs 33,990 on its India store, making the CX14 the lower-priced entry by Rs 2,000. These are the amounts displayed on the respective configuration pages, inclusive of taxes. The comparison concerns the CKA models: the CX15 name also appears on a different CTA configuration, whose specifications should not be attached to this price.
| Detail | Chromebook CX14 | Chromebook CX15 |
|---|---|---|
| Priced model family | CX1405CKA | CX1505CKA |
| India store displayed price | Rs 31,990 | Rs 33,990 |
| Processor in official CKA specification | Intel Celeron N4500 | Intel Celeron N4500 |
| Display diagonal | 14 inches | 15.6 inches |
| Full HD resolution | 1920 x 1080 | 1920 x 1080 |
| Published starting weight | 1.39 kg | 1.59 kg |
| USB-C on CKA specification | One | One |
Price as of 10 November 2026, 00:20 IST. ASUS identifies AYR Technologies as the authorised reseller operating its India store. The readable pages expose a displayed configuration price, without a complete mapping of each memory and storage choice to a separate amount. Treat these as page-level entry figures, rather than a quotation for every possible configuration.
The model suffix changes this comparison
The most consequential detail is tucked into the model code. ASUS's global announcement identifies both CX1405CKA and CX1505CKA with the Celeron N4500. Its current India CX15 technical page instead identifies CX1505CTA, with an Intel Processor N50 and a different connection layout. Those are separate specifications, despite the shared CX15 branding. A photograph or a short product name cannot resolve that difference.
This matters when comparing the Rs 2,000 gap. The two priced CKA families share their published processor designation. The available official material therefore does not establish that the extra money buys a faster processor. It establishes a larger screen and chassis. Attaching the CTA model's N50 chip or additional USB-C port to the CKA store listing would give the dearer laptop an advantage the cited price page has not demonstrated.
A larger panel, with the same pixel count
The CX14 CKA has a 14-inch Full HD display, while the CX15 CKA specification lists a 15.6-inch Full HD panel. Both use 1920 x 1080 resolution. The larger diagonal makes the display physically bigger; it does not by itself add pixels or guarantee that more spreadsheet columns will fit at the same software scaling. That distinction is useful when the laptop will mostly sit on a study desk.
For a student alternating between a classroom and home, carrying dimensions deserve equal attention. ASUS publishes a starting weight of 1.39 kg for the CX14 and 1.59 kg for the CX15. These are configuration-dependent manufacturer figures. The smaller machine has the clearer portability advantage on paper, while the larger screen is the tangible change for someone reading documents or sharing a video across a table.
Check the CKA connection layout
The official CKA specifications list one USB-C connection on each model, alongside USB-A, HDMI and a combined audio socket. That USB-C connection supports power delivery and display output. A charging cable can therefore occupy the same connector someone might want for another accessory. The presence of HDMI provides a separate route for a compatible external screen, subject to the relevant cable and display requirements.
Our related CX14 connection guide covers the smaller model's layout. The CX15 guide discussing two USB-C ports concerns a specification that must be checked against the exact model suffix. It should not be treated as proof that every laptop sold under the CX15 name has that arrangement.
Memory choices need their own confirmation
ASUS's announcement lists different memory and eMMC storage options across the CKA range. The India store pages opened for this comparison do not provide a readable price against each combination. Consequently, neither displayed amount is presented here as the verified cost of a particular RAM and storage pairing. A larger chassis is also no evidence of more installed memory. The complete part number remains essential when matching an invoice to a specification.
The wider Chromebook range has its own support distinctions. Our ASUS Chromebook Plus CX34 update guide is a separate model reference. Its support date and Plus designation should not be carried across to either CKA machine. Likewise, the global announcement's Chromebook Plus options do not make the two Celeron listings Chromebook Plus models.
For Indian readers comparing these particular store entries, the verified difference is narrow but concrete: Rs 31,990 for the CX14 CKA page and Rs 33,990 for the CX15 CKA page, with a larger Full HD screen and higher published starting weight on the latter. There is no official benchmark in the cited material establishing a performance gain between them. The price comparison stays useful only while the processor suffix, configuration and display specification stay attached to the correct machine.
