ASUS - 2-in-1 14" Touch-Screen Chromebook - Intel Core m3 - 4GB Memory - 64GB eMMC Flash Memory - Blue Silver

This is my first Chromebook. If you are looking for the very best one for your money, I recommend this one highly. There are a lot of reasons why. *Not only is it great looking, and really thin and therefore very portable, it's very sturdy. The feel of it is not cheap and in no way feels flimsy in any way I can think of. *The speakers are incredible. When I first played Youtube on it, the volume was nearly as high as it could go, and as a new user when I was fumbling around trying to find the volume buttons, I realized that while loud, the sound was GREAT. I've never owned a laptop that had speakers this good. An impressive surprise! *The screen is amazing. It's very bright & clear, and when you are using the touch capabilities (I came from the original Surface Pro, so for years I'm used to scrolling and touching via the screen, preferring to bypass the touchpad) the screen isn't too super-slick or too super-sticky; it feels good. I believe I remember seeing it's Gorilla Glass? The screen also almost reaches all the outer edges, giving it an amazing look. *The battery life is awesome. I charged it to 100% when I first got it home, and I think I put about 9-10 hours into it before I got to 7% last night and decided to charge. I kept the brightness settings at the default levels, which I think were about 75% of the way up. *The convertible aspect is great. I usually use it in a laptop position, but have tried tablet mode (not my favorite personally, but impressively the keys against my lap seemed to be disabled in that position) as well as where the screen faces up and the rest of the unit is behind (presentation mode; great for YouTube and streaming.) *The price was great. I originally wanted the C434, but found this one on sale and the only difference I could see was this one's listing on the site says the keyboard isn't backlit. (Actually, it is.) Because the price difference was significant, I went for this one due to the sale. Upon watching further reviews, I think the only difference between this one and the 434 is that this one has a plastic keyboard surround, not aluminum. Aluminum feels cold to me anyway so the 433 having a plastic keyboard surround is not a detraction. Here are a few of my cons: *I believe this was an open-box item and was not labeled as such. The box had a piece of tape holding it shut, the screen didn't have a clear protector on it as so many devices with screens do, the device is named Amber Lake Y Chromebook which doesn't seem like a standard (and I was never asked to name the device), and when I first opened it, it warned me that OS was rebooting and everything previously on it would be lost. I believe it was wiped and put back as if it was new, but I really suspect it wasn't finished before it was put back on the shelf. Since their open-box items are cheaper, I was displeased by this greatly. (Not to mention the item was misrepresented.) And it wasn't even the last piece in stock so it's not like the associate HAD to pick that one to give to me. *The chromebook is hard to open. Each and every person I hand it to comments on this. It's impossible to open from its sitting position on a desk or table. You pretty much have to pry it open from a vertical position. I'm sure they wanted the hinges tight for the 360 degree angles, but I still find it tough to open. Overall, totally recommended.

She just needed a basic computer for email and web browsing, light document work, skype, etc. She didn't need the full Windows hassle, or the sky-high price of a Mac. This ChromeBook fit the bill perfectly. I set it up for her, and she is thrilled with it. Excellent display, plenty of storage and ports, big trackpad, fast and secure. Asus is a good brand, do not confuse them with Acer, who abandons their products right after the sale. ChromeOS is here now. Lots of good apps in the app store, all cheap or free, including a decent free replacement for MS Office. GMail is your best email option nowadays, and Chrome is the number one browser; Firefox is also available. Haven't really tried the convertible touchscreen, but it's a nice option to have. Built-in GPS would be nice too, but you can't have everything! Only real complaint is that the silver keys on the keyboard can be hard to read in some lights, especially strong side-lighting. It would be better if the keys were black, but you can move the machine a little and the problem goes away.

Great chrome book. Good for young kids that have online school homework . Plenty fast

I have had my ASUS Flip C433TA 2-in-1 14" Touch-Screen Chromebook for four days now and I like it so much that I have purchased a second for the familly while it was on sale. At first glance it looks like a slightly larger ASUS Flip C302 chromebook, similar all aluminum chassis, simple design. The first difference you might catch is the full size USB type A port personally I am very glad to see the full size USB port. A USB flash drive to hold the files for a project and transport them between chromebook and desktop pc or someone else’s laptop or desktop, adding a full size USB type A port eliminates needing a USB C adapter all the time. Other than the USB port and the physical size the significant changes are internal. The CPU is the new Intel Core m3-8100Y which has a base frequency of 1.1Gh 22% faster than the Intel Core m3 used in the ASUS Flip C302. The improvement in the Intel Core m3 performance is enough to be evident in a number of processes. Another area that the ASUS Flip C433TA has improved is in battery life, although both chromebook specs claim 10 hour battery life my impression is that the Flip C433TA has about an hour more battery life than the earlier model doing similar task loads. The keyboard for the C433TA is backlit although the specs indicate non-backlit. The ASUS Flip C433TA to me looks like a first class 2-in-1 laptop for a personal laptop for home and office. Portable compact and very flexible the ASUS Flip C433TA looks like one of the best chromebooks of 2019.

Asus continues to make fine products. This Asus Chromebook is very attractive, and well built. It is very fast and has a beautiful display. I enjoy working on it and it certainly satisfies my computer needs. I would recommend this computer without hesitation.
