Asus Chromebook Flip

Top Pro

Great performance for a Chromebook

The Chromebook Flip has durable high-quality hardware including a high-end Intel core m3-6Y30 processor and 4GB RAM. This ensures that the Chromebook Flip is far ahead of competitors who mostly use older hardware or smaller RAM. See More

Top Con

Terrible webcam

The plainly bad 0.9-megapixel webcam produces grainy images and leaves some background colors behind and is unable to have a real focus. See More

Specs

CPU: Intel Pentium 4405Y – Intel Core m3-6Y30

Screen size:12.5inch

Screen resolution:1080p

Top Pro

Great build quality

The whole chassis is made out of sturdy silver aluminium while the lid is covered with a double-layer impact resistant glass. The resistant glass protects the cover from tear and damage which makes the product more durable. See More

Top Con

Pricey

Good hardware performance, smooth design, and crisp image quality come with a high price-tag, making this Chromebook slightly expensive. See More

Top Pro

Supports Android apps

The Asus Chromebook Flip supports Android Apps which can be directly installed from the Play Store. See More

Top Con

Battery life could be better

Battery life is limited to 6-7 hours while actively surfing the web and leaving the brightness at 75%, which is decent but not the best battery life as far a Chromebooks go. See More

Top Pro

Versatile

Has a firm, 360-degree bendable lid with sturdy, not too wobbly hinges and the 2.5-pound lightweight base makes this Chromebook very portable. You can also turn the screen and use the laptop in three different "standing" modes (laptop, stand, tent, tablet) where the last three modes completely hide the keyboard. See More

Top Pro

Great display

The Chromebook flip has a great 1080p display with good viewing angles. It's also quite bright at around 300 nits of brightness which makes it a decent choice for working outdoors. See More

Top Pro

Great keyboard

The Chromebook Flip has a backlit keyboard which is a rarity among Chromebooks. The keyboard itself is pretty good as well. The keys have decent travel length and the keyboard feels very comfortable when typing even for long periods of time. See More
