Compact Chrome OS tablet
The ASUS Chromebook CM30 is a 10.5-inch convertible device built around a MediaTek Kompanio 520 eight-core processor. It runs Chrome OS with 8GB of LPDDR4X memory and 128GB of eMMC storage. The WUXGA touchscreen resolves 1920x1200 at a 16:10 aspect ratio and reaches 400 nits brightness. Integrated ARM Mali-G52 MC2 graphics handle everyday visual tasks.
Wireless-first connectivity
Wi-Fi6 and Bluetooth 5.4 provide cable-free networking and peripheral pairing for a clean desk setup. The lightweight 2.2lb chassis measures just 0.63 inches thin, so it slips into a small bag without adding bulk. A bundled active pen enables precise inking directly on the display. The integrated design removes the need for a separate keyboard dock or external monitor in mobile scenarios.
Fanless thermal profile
With no moving parts inside, the system stays silent during typical browsing, streaming and document work. The MediaTek Kompanio 520 operates at a 2GHz turbo frequency within the thin enclosure without active cooling. The 60Hz panel refresh keeps power draw modest for extended battery life away from an outlet. Surface temperatures remain comfortable during handheld use.

Questions about this item
Does the MediaTek Kompanio 520 throttle during long workloads?
The processor runs at up to 2 GHz with eight cores and 1 MB L3 cache; sustained performance depends on the fanless thermal design.
How loud and hot does the CM30 get when used all day?
The chassis measures 10.25 x 6.88 x 0.63 inches and weighs 2.2 lb with no moving parts, so it stays silent and only warm under load.
What ports does the CM30 have for my existing monitor and USB drives?
The spec sheet lists video and USB ports as blank, so you will need a USB-C hub or adapter for external displays and peripherals.
