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.

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.

Excellent machine for the money. When my daughter dropped the Chromebook her school had assigned to her we bought her an inexpensive replacement. Unfortunately, that machine had a 14 inch screen, but only a 1366x768 resolution, which is inadequate for the size. Returned it and spent a little more to buy this ASUS. I've generally had good luck with ASUS products and this one does not disappoint. It's sleek, reasonably light-weight, and the screen is beautiful and sharp at full 1080p resolution. Other reviews have pointed out that due to the backlight, the keyboard can be very difficult to read in certain light. This is absolutely true. Fortunately you can turn off the backlight by pressing "Alt" + the brightness buttons. At that point the key lettering become legible again. Problem solved.

This is my second ASUS Chromebook. I liked my first quite a bit, but they are no longer updating it. I thought I would miss the smaller size (10 inch screen) because of ease of carrying it around. I don't. This fits easily in my messenger bag. I like the expanded memory over my previous Chromebook. I also added a 256 sd card. In addition there is a USB port and a USB C port (not counting the USB C port for the power cord). Sweat! Also, this is so much faster than my previous Chromebook and is updated until 2026. I didn't know if I would like the back lit keyboard, but it is really nice at dusk and after to keep working without eye strain. If you're into Chromebooks like I am, then this is a great model to choose.

I'm three days into my new ASUS Chromebook and with two exceptions, I'm loving it. Brand new user to Chromebook. I've been a Windows user for over twenty years so it is a struggle but I will get there! Spent a lot of time trying to figure out the best Chromebook for me. Certain features I had to have: 14" touchscreen (preferable 2-in-1) and backlit keyboard. The ASUS C433T filled the bill. Well built and attractive Chromebook. .......... HOWEVER, I may be returning it because of two design flaws: * It's impossible to open (well, not totally) but it is a pain and , * You can't read the keys in certiain lighting conditions. When the backlight is on, the keys blend in with the color of the board and they disappear!!! There is no contrast between the keys and the base. I read one review where they purchased a color keyboard cover and that solved the problem. I like the ASUS so much, I may try out that solution before I return it I will try to remember to post an update.

Everything on this laptop computer works as expected, except for 1) the backlight keyboard. I expected it to work in any light at any time, but there are times when I cannot read the letters. 2) I was also quite surprised not to see any printed literature at all. Apparently, without instruction, you have to download the manual and warranty from the Internet.

Works great, and it is super helpful for my daughter while she virtually learns. Make sure you read the fine print on the Best Buy warranty, as it is really shady with hidden practices. Buyer beware.
