Asus Chromebook Flip is a chic and cheap laptop

2017-11-22
the petite Asus Chromebook flip is a versatile laptop that cost $300 it's a refresh of the 2015 model and looks similar to the bigger 12-inch Asus Chromebook flip this tiny 10-inch version is also a convertible so it can be propped up as a tent fold it over as a stand lay completely flat or simply use as a tablet or laptop it's so compact it's a breeze to travel with it easily slipped into one of my smallest purses and barely took up any space in my backpack in beta mode the Chromebook can access the Google Play Store and download apps the laptop features a new processor with the coprocessor that's dedicated to running apps and it pays off with its performance apps ran smoothly and launched relatively fast as long as there weren't many apps or windows open in the background unfortunately it's uncomfortable to hold in tablet mode when the screen and keyboard fold over the edges flare out and uncomfortably dig into your palms it's fine if set on your lap or on a table but I wasn't able to hold it as a tablet for more than a few minutes before switching to a different configuration even though it's screen is on the small side and as the resolution is rather low HD video still looks sharp with lifelike colors I wasn't a big fan of the ACC small keyboard though the Black Keys give it a Macbook like look and travel well but the spacing feels cramped I eventually adjusted but I have small hands if my hands were any bigger I don't think I'd enjoy using it on a day-to-day basis if you're interested in a decent small laptop for you or your kids the tenant's Asus Chromebook flip is a good pick however if you're not on a tight budget I recommend upgrading to the 12-inch model it's got a better design faster performance for just a small jump in price you
