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

I love this Chromebook, even though it has an issue with not being able to see what key your hitting because of the backlit keyboard. With the keyboard back light on, and the silver color of the keys, the letters kinda disappear making it hard to see them. So I purchased a keyboard guard protector from Amazon , it makes each key a different color made of soft silicone molded perfectly to fit this Chromebook and I'm able to see each key letter, works perfect.

Was looking for a reasonably well priced laptop that runs smooth and fast. I found it with this laptop. I love that its a 2-in-1 and how easy it is to navigate. I prefer chrome books over windows. Also the simplicity of the layout is great.

Worked great for simple tasks. My screen one day went completely black and had to call asus to see if it was a monitor repair and now I have to send it in to get repaired. Happed out of nowhere so hopefully have good luck with getting a new one back quickly.

It was this, the 713 or the Go for a bit more with less power. The 713 was out of stock and the extra $100 or so isn't worth it unless you need an i5 for productivity or games instead of an i3 (not sure it helps with graphics). So far as the screen it's gorgeous, the speakers are ok, the backlit keys are fine, speed is very good. I mostly just cruise the www and watch youtube / flix / etc. Haven't really given it a challenge with a large doc or database or anything. But as an interim productity with messaging and probably calling too (if you have Google FI ... twenty bux a month! with no data, 10$ a gig max $60 month extra) with minimal productivity needs, notetaking etc, it's great. Get a usb c dongle that gives you two live usb a outlets and replaces the usb c power input with one of it's own. You can use the HP's second usb c outlet for the monitor (I'm using usb > displayport adapter cord). Then a dongle on the other side for a keyboard and a mouse and you can run a second screen above the Chromebook. YES IT IS A HOME COMPUTER TOO!

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.

I purchased mine about a month ago just in case I needed to work from home during all that's going on (ended up being a smart call). The laptop makes an amazing first impression, slick, small bezzles with a large track pad. I got this on sale for close to $300, and at that price I got a steal. The Good: -Style, design looks... in spades -Small Bezels on screen with large track pad -Light, with AMAZING battery life -Runs quick and silent -Google Stadia runs wonderfully on this machine -Sharp 1080p display Here are the issues: -Screen color gamut is muted, which you will notice if holding other screens up next to this. Don't do editing/photoshop on this machine, as you cant judge the result accurately. -Magnet that holds machine closed works too good, have to use both hands to pry open every time. -My first unit had 3 defective keys, which drove me crazy (the L would get stuck in the down position every 3rd press, with two other keys just sticking/not registering). -Wifi is GARBAGE, has a weak wifi connection, everywhere, with limited range. -Screen brightness is... "ok" at best -Keyboard is iMPOSSIBLE to read. Whoever decided silver keys on a silver keypad needs to be fired. During the day you need to turn off the back-light to read keys, at night you have to turn the light on.. its an annoying game to play. All of this would bother me immensely on a $1,000 machine, would irritate me on a $500 machine, but for sub $300 (where I got it), this is more of a "you get what you pay for" feeling every time an issue crops up.

Picked this up for my nephew for at home schooling during COVID because the other one I purchased for him overheated, I will not name the brand but it is a major brand and was not worth fixing after owning it less than a year. Asus is a good brand and the specs on this 14inch laptop and the price was a great buy. So far it has been running the same since the day it was brought home and mishandled by a 7 and 10 year old. Highly recommend if you can get it at a sale price and if you are looking for a reliable laptop for young kids that need it for school. Very easy to use and light weight for a laptop this size and the touch screen option is always a plus.

I was issued this type of device from my school as my teacher Chromebook. I loved it so much I bought one for personal use. The look and feel of the Chromebook is premium, top of the line quality for a very reasonable price. When purchasing a laptop for business use, I search high and low and couldn't find a quality replacement for near this price. I ended up going a different route but will still keep this Chromebook as my personal device. Great job Asus!
