Q: what is the auto update expiration date for this model

A: According to Google's AUE (Auto Update Expiration) chart, this Asus Chromebook CM34 Flip (also known as the Asus Chromebook CM3401) will receive updates through Jun 2031. I double-checked it in my settings (Settings/About ChromeOS/Additional Details/Update Schedule), which says: This device will get automatic software and security updates until June 2031.

Q: Under Specs it says this model does NOT have a backlit keyboard, but under reviews, customers say it does. To make sure, does this model have the 2-in 1 flip, a touch screen AND the backlit keyboard? Thanks!

A: Yes, this Asus Chromebook CM3401 (also known as the Asus Chromebook CM34 Flip) does have all three features you asked about: It's a 2-in-1 flip (convertible) Chromebook, it has a touch screen and has a backlit keyboard (even though the Best Buy specs say it doesn't). The backlit keyboard is very nice, and reminds me a lot of the backlit keyboard on my Asus Vivobook Flip 14 2-in-1 Windows laptop.

Q: When this was first advertised by Asus, it had the option for a stylus, but there doesn't appear to be a slot for it on the included pictures. Is there a slot for a stylus?

A: There is not. This is the step-down model from the Ryzen 5 option. It does not have a built-in slotted stylus, but it does have the USI1.0 standard for stylus support. It also lacks biometric authentication and log-in, the Ryzen 5 option has a fingerprint scanner. The Ryzen 5 version still isn't available and was only recently announced. It also has a 512GB SSD and 16GB of RAM, so expect the price to start much higher than this one and be in the full notebook territory.

Q: Are there no USB connectors on this machine ?

A: There is one standard USB port and two USB C ports, which is how it charges.

Q: Can you upgrade the ssd

A: Yes, this Chromebook (CM3401) supports up to a 512GB M.2 NVMe™ PCIe® 3.0 SSD.

Q: Is this good for editing youtube content?

A: There are 2 SKUs pointing to this Q&A. Regardless of whether this is "Chromebook Plus" branded (on the lid) or not, it shows "Chromebook Plus" when it boots. It meets specs for lumafusion, which I used earlier today for video editing. I did notice excessive CPU when I had an SD card installed.

Q: Does this have a USB port?

A: There is one standard USB port and two USB C ports, which is how it charges.

Q: How's the screen quality? I've seen chromebooks that are dim and pixelated and hurt my eyes. Is this better?

A: The ASUS Chromebook CM34 Flip (CM3401) features a 14.0-inch WUXGA display with a resolution of 1920 x 1200. It has a 300-nit brightness and a screen-to-body ratio of 80%. The display is designed to provide seamless visuals and an immersive viewing experience.
