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