ASUS Unveils Chromebook CM32 Detachable for Flexible Productivity
ASUS Introduces the Chromebook CM32 Detachable: Built for Mobility, Durability, and Everyday Productivity
TAIPEI, Taiwan — January 6, 2026 — ASUS has unveiled the ASUS Chromebook CM32 Detachable, a versatile 12-inch 2-in-1 device designed for modern learning, work, and on-the-go lifestyles. With a seamless tablet-to-laptop design, a stunning high-refresh-rate display, and military-grade durability, the CM32 Detachable is built to perform across education, retail, healthcare, and beyond.
Designed for Flexible Mobility
At its core, the Chromebook CM32 Detachable is all about adaptability. The detachable magnetic keyboard allows users to switch effortlessly between laptop and tablet modes, making it ideal for note-taking, presentations, content consumption, or quick productivity tasks.
ASUS also offers a range of optional accessories to expand its versatility. These include a magnetic stand with a stain-resistant leatherette finish, an optional rugged Impact Shield for extra protection, and a magnetic USI 2.0 stylus with wireless charging—perfect for sketching ideas, annotating documents, or capturing inspiration on the move.
Despite its flexibility, the device remains lightweight and travel-friendly. Combined with up to 13 hours of battery life, it’s well suited for long study sessions, remote learning, or full workdays without constantly searching for a charger.
Built to Last, Wherever You Use It
Durability is a major focus of the CM32 Detachable. The device meets US MIL-STD-810H standards, ensuring resistance to everyday knocks, drops, and wear. For users who need even more protection—such as in classrooms, retail floors, or clinical environments—the optional Impact Shield adds an extra layer of peace of mind.
Power That Keeps Up with Your Day
Powered by the Arm®-based MediaTek™ Kompanio 540 processor, the Chromebook CM32 Detachable delivers smooth everyday performance for browsing, video calls, productivity apps, and cloud-based workflows. With up to 8GB LPDDR5X memory and 128GB storage, it’s equipped to handle multitasking with ease.
Connectivity is future-ready too, with support for WiFi 7, Bluetooth® 5.4, USB-C®, a 3.5mm audio jack, and a pogo-pin interface for the detachable keyboard. Dual 5MP cameras—front-facing and world-facing—make it equally suitable for virtual meetings, online classes, or capturing photos and videos on the go.
A Display That Stands Out
The 12.1-inch 2.5K touchscreen is one of the highlights of the CM32 Detachable. With 600 nits brightness, a 120Hz refresh rate, and TÜV Rheinland-certified eye care, it delivers sharp visuals and smooth motion in almost any environment.
Protected by Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3 with an anti-fingerprint coating, the display is designed to stay clear and durable even with heavy daily use. Paired with Dolby Atmos® audio, the device offers an immersive viewing and listening experience—whether for work or entertainment.
The Best of ChromeOS
Running on ChromeOS, the ASUS Chromebook CM32 Detachable benefits from automatic updates, built-in virus protection, and strong security tied to a personal Google account. Users also gain access to a vast ecosystem of apps through Google Play, including tools for productivity, creativity, streaming, and collaboration.
ASUS also offers options for Chrome Education Upgrade or Chrome Enterprise Upgrade, enabling centralized device management through the Google Admin console—making the CM32 Detachable a strong fit for schools and organizations.
