All right, so we are here at CES 2026 a
0:03
little unexpectedly. I didn't think that
0:04
we were going to be at the show this
0:05
year, but I'm glad we're here because
0:07
there is something that ASUS has at
0:09
their booth that I think is going to be
0:10
very interesting for a lot of you.
0:16
So, check this guy out. This is the
0:18
update to the CM30. Uh, it looks a lot
0:22
like the CM30, but it's a little bit
0:23
bigger. 12in display this time around.
0:26
Uh, it's actually got a better Corning
0:28
Gorilla Glass. uh covering on it, but
0:30
it's got the MediaTek Compano 540. Uh 8
0:34
gigs of RAM, 128 gigs of storage, Wi-Fi
0:38
7, but that updated MediaTek Companio
0:40
540 in here. So, we should get a lot
0:42
better performance than the last
0:44
generation of this. ASUS says that they
0:46
have made uh some moves on the keyboard,
0:48
and that thing does feel really, really
0:50
good. Trackpad feels very nice as well.
0:53
But there's some cool stuff around the
0:55
back here I want to show you. Namely,
0:58
this right here. Now, while this doesn't
1:00
look quite as nice as the the pin spot
1:02
on something like the the Lenovo uh
1:05
Chromebook Duet, what it's holding here
1:07
is a rechargeable stylus. So, yep, you
1:09
drop that on there, it's actually going
1:10
to charge and that case is going to hold
1:12
it in place. And so, you've obvious
1:14
obviously got the kickstand portion here
1:17
that is detachable just like it always
1:19
is. Uh and then the, you know, nice
1:21
smooth uh silver back here. As of right
1:23
now, ASUS does not have a price and
1:26
availability yet on this. So, we're
1:28
guessing probably quarter two. But, man,
1:30
this screen looks really good. Uh 1,200
1:33
or 600 nits, I'm sorry. Uh and and a
1:36
full 12in display. So, this is going to
1:39
be a really nice upgrade. They've got
1:40
some different cases as well. So, we've
1:43
got some white uh keyboard and back
1:46
cases, but we also have kind of an
1:48
education focused one with this nice
1:50
bumper. Uh they're saying it's an impact
1:52
shield, but yeah, there there's some
1:54
options here for the uh for the CM32
1:57
detachable Chromebook. I did not expect
1:59
to see this thing here. I'm very excited
2:01
that it is here. You're talking great
2:02
battery life, improved performance,
2:04
great looking screen, awesome looking
2:06
case. Yeah, this is going to be a nice
2:08
package, assuming Asus prices it right.
2:10
But as soon as we know more about it,
2:12
guys, we'll let you know.
