Announcing the ASUS Chromebook CX14/CX15 Series, Now Available in the United States

Published

on

The new ASUS Chromebook series features a stylish, eco-conscious design, and a Chromebook Plus option for enhanced performance

FREMONT, Calif., May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ASUS today announced the new ASUS Chromebook CX14/CX15 series of powerful yet budget-friendly laptops. With a variety of exciting colors and finishes to choose from, there is a choice to fit every style. These laptops are equipped with up to an Intel® Core™ N355 processor and are also available with a Chromebook Plus option for enhanced performance and Google AI experiences.

Stylish and Sustainable

The ASUS Chromebook CX14/CX15 series demonstrates the ASUS commitment to eco-conscious design, featuring EPEAT Climate+ certification, 30% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic components, and FSC™ Mix sustainable packaging.

Additionally, the laptops are available in a vibrant palette of Fabric Blue, Pure Grey, and Misty Grey colorways, along with two different finishes depending on the model – Washi and Paint. The wear-resistant paint1 is reinforced with diamond and stone powders, and offers 2.5 times the abrasion resistance of traditional coatings, ensuring that sustainability meets durability and style in every detail.

Effortless Daily Use

Designed for portability with a weight starting at about 3lbs, the ASUS Chromebook CX14/CX15 series features an expansive FHD wide-viewing-angle display with up to an 87% screen-to-body ratio2, delivering an immersive visual experience. Its 180° hinge supports versatile usage scenarios, and a touchscreen is available as an option.

The newly positioned I/O ports – including a useful HDMI port for an external display – are now ergonomically located at the upper left side of the chassis, which frees up space for mouse movement.

Easy to Service, Built to Last

The redesigned bottom cover features only four screws, allowing easy disassembly and convenient access to the components, while the introduction of captive screws ensures they are not easily lost. ASUS also introduced a new screwless battery latching system where a bracket is used to secure the battery to enable quick, tool-free swap-outs.

The ASUS Chromebook CX14/CX15 series also features a rugged design that’s tested to meet the MIL-STD-810H US military-grade standard3, ensuring a long and reliable lifespan.

Chromebook Plus Option

The ASUS Chromebook CX14/CX15 series also offers the option of Chromebook Plus with built-in Google AI features, delivering an advanced blend of creativity and productivity. With Chromebook Plus, users will receive 12 months of the Google One AI Premium plan at no extra cost, providing priority access to Gemini Advanced, 2TB of cloud storage, and integrated AI tools in Gmail, Docs, and more4. Users can create custom wallpapers and video call backgrounds as unique as they are, while Gemini offers writing assistance for everything from blog posts to social media captions. The FHD webcam and AI-powered video call tools optimize clarity, reduce noise, and blur backgrounds, with simple one-click controls for mic and camera privacy.

QUIGLEY-SIMPSON LAUNCHES NEW AI DISCOVERABILITY AND VISIBILITY OFFERING

Published

By

Agency Helps Brands Improve How They Are Discovered, Understood, Referenced, and Recommended Across AI-Powered Platforms

LOS ANGELES, June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Quigley-Simpson, the impact-obsessed independent marketing agency, today announced a new AI discoverability and visibility offering designed to help brands improve how they are discovered, understood, referenced, and recommended across AI assistants, large language models (LLMs), search engines, and digital media environments.

As consumers increasingly turn to AI-powered platforms for information, recommendations, and purchasing decisions, brands face a new challenge: ensuring accurate, credible, and authoritative information about their business is available and accessible to both people and AI systems.

“Consumers are no longer discovering brands through search engines, advertising, or social media alone,” said Carl Fremont, CEO of Quigley-Simpson. “AI platforms are becoming an increasingly important source of information and recommendations. Brands must now think beyond traditional visibility and consider how they are represented across the broader AI ecosystem.”

The new capability helps brands understand and improve the signals that influence how AI systems interpret, evaluate, and recommend information. Unlike point solutions focused solely on monitoring AI responses, Quigley-Simpson’s approach combines communications, content, creative, media, analytics, and optimization to help brands actively strengthen their visibility and authority.

Built on the agency’s integrated operating system, the offering leverages expertise from communications, creative, media, analytics, strategy, and technology teams to address this emerging challenge.

“We believe brands now need to market to both humans and machines,” said Jeff Ratner, President, Media, Data & Analytics at Quigley-Simpson. “The information AI platforms use doesn’t appear by accident. It is shaped by content, communications, media signals, authority, and credibility across the digital ecosystem. What differentiates our approach is our ability to move beyond diagnosis and activate solutions through integrated communications, creative, media, and analytics programs.”

Historically, communications strategies were designed primarily to influence people. Today, they also influence the systems increasingly shaping consumer discovery and decision-making.

“Brands have spent decades optimizing how they communicate with consumers,” said Alissa Stakgold, President Strategy and Creative Services, at Quigley-Simpson. “Now they must also consider how they communicate with the AI systems that summarize, interpret, and distribute information at scale. This capability helps brands better understand those dynamics and respond strategically.”

The offering combines proprietary methodologies with leading third-party technologies, including AI visibility and monitoring platforms, while leveraging Quigley-Simpson’s broader media, analytics, and intelligence infrastructure.

Initial services include:

• AI visibility and discoverability audits
• Brand authority and citation analysis
• Competitive benchmarking
• Communications and content strategy
• Creative and messaging optimization
• Media and content amplification
• AI response monitoring and reporting
• Ongoing optimization and measurement

The framework is built around five core pillars: Content, Credibility, Connections, Coverage, and Calibration.

Together, these pillars help brands strengthen the signals that influence how AI systems interpret, reference, and recommend information while improving consistency across communications, content, media, and customer experiences.

ABOUT QUIGLEY-SIMPSON:
Headquartered in Los Angeles, with an office in New York City, Quigley-Simpson is the largest WBENC-certified woman-owned advertising agency in the country and an impact-obsessed marketing partner for brands seeking measurable growth. Its fully integrated offerings span brand strategy, creative development, media planning and buying, digital performance, analytics, and AI-enabled solutions. For 25 years, Quigley-Simpson has helped brands break through growth barriers by connecting brand building with business outcomes. As a full-solutions, full-journey agency, it transforms insights into action and action into measurable impact, delivering results that drive long-term growth and competitive advantage. Clients include industry leaders such as JPMorgan Chase and Procter & Gamble, alongside high-growth brands including Generac, Simply Business, Finance of America, and Kumon. Quigley-Simpson’s approach is rooted in a simple philosophy: be Brand-led, Demand-driven, and Impact-obsessed.

Dialogica Emerges from Stealth to Empower Lawyers to Reclaim Their Time

Published

New class of legal cognition provides fully secure, local platform to remove the rote, non-billable work that slows lawyers down

SANTA MONICA, Calif., June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Dialogica (“Dia”), the new, voice-first class of legal cognition built to empower lawyers to reclaim their time while preserving legal judgment, trust, and confidentiality, announced its public launch today. The company is supported by Ground Up Ventures, led by Cory Moelis, and global leading lawyers, including Tom Glocer, ex-CEO of Thomson Reuters, and members of the board of directors at Morgan Stanley and Merck, Scott Taylor, former GC of Symantec, Health Ingram, a Top 40 BioTech Regulatory Counsel and Partner at Goodwin Proctor, and partners at various AmLaw 50 law firms.

Dia was built to free lawyers from the rote work that holds firms back, like calendaring, timekeeping, redlining, precedent searching, tracking clients, matters, deals, and cases, and much more, so they can focus on what they do best. Sensitive firm data stays within the firm’s walls, and Dia works seamlessly with the systems and technology already in place. The result is more billable time and revenue per lawyer, and more room for work-life balance that is rarely afforded in the industry.

The launch comes as current ‘last mile’ legal AI tools have focused on the drafting work that lawyers spend years training to do. Dia is focused on the first mile of legal work; this is the high-friction layer where matters start, where time is lost, and where repetitive work slows lawyers down. It operates as a horizontal, voice-first dialogue layer that strengthens what firms already have rather than replacing it, and was built to provide a practical, secure way to give lawyers an intuitive, easy-to-use system while maintaining the standards of security, confidentiality, and control that their clients demand.

“I spent years watching my colleagues, and brilliant lawyers, lose hours every single day to work that had nothing to do with being a lawyer,” said Austin Worrell, Co-Founder and CEO, Dialogica. “We built Dia to give lawyers this time back, without touching their judgment, training on firm data, or asking anyone to change how they work. We want lawyers to be able to focus on counsel, strategy, and client services; the work that defines a great law firm, and that no AI could ever replace.”

“We built Dia to be the first platform that works the way law firms already operate, rather than force them into a new system,” said Joshua Goodman, Co-Founder and CTO, Dialogica. “At the same time, Dia does not compromise on security, ensuring firms get all the benefits without anything leaving their environment. This is an exciting moment to work with firms that want to move now to define the modern legal practice and future-proof their practices.”

Scott Joachim serves as President of Dialogica, and has almost three decades of experience as a corporate attorney. He previously served as Co-Chair of the Global Private Equity Practice at Paul Hastings, an “American Lawyer Top 25” international law firm, and chair of the private equity practice at leading technology law firm Fenwick and West. He also serves as an adjunct professor at Columbia University. “The intersection of law and technology is at a critical inflection point. I joined Dialogica because I’ve seen first-hand the inefficiencies and frictions in law practice that our products solve. The numbers are undeniable.”

“There is nothing in the market right now making non-billable hours more productive,” said Cory Moelis, General Partner, Ground Up Ventures. “In a field where privacy is absolutely critical, you can’t just build using foundational models. Assistants are emerging as the next wave as models become commodities, and that’s why I’m thrilled to be involved with Dialogica, as they are ahead of this curve.”

About Dialogica
Dialogica, Inc. is the company behind Dia, a secure amplified intelligence platform built to help law firms clear the clutter of daily practice while preserving the legal judgment, client trust, and confidentiality that define the profession. Designed for the operating realities of sophisticated firms, Dia is a voice-first dialogue layer that works across existing systems to reduce repetitive, non-billable work and give lawyers more time for the counsel, strategy, analysis, and client service only they can provide.
