The perfect chromebook for the price.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This computer is a marvel in every way. The only con I see in this thing is the weight, it's really heavy at 2 kg, if you can overcome this, then by all means its good. Speed is amazing, the screen has very pretty colors though its not very bright (for outside use at least), keyboard is back-lit and has a very good key distribution, speakers are amazing, port selection is nice, the fan is not very loud. I haven't tried gaming yet, only Minecraft (which came as a Chromebook perk), it plays nicely, stutters sometimes.

Our 7th grader enjoys her ASUS chromebook. Yeah!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased this Asus chromebook for our middle schooler to start the 7th grade. From our perspective, we believe this chromebook was an excellent value based on its price and features. Best Buy had a Labor Day sale and we purchased this chromebook for under $300 (retail was $499). We researched other comparable chromebooks from HP, Dell, Lenovo and Acer. However, this Asus chromebook was the clear winner in terms of its feature. The 3 features that were important to us was the chromebook's performance, battery life and usability. The performance speed is very good with its 8GB memory and AMD Ryzen process chip. The performance was more then adequate for our 7th grader to browse the internet for research, check e-mails and do her school work using Google applications. The video resolution is very clear and crisp with full high definition and the sound output is excellent with its built-in speakers. The chromebook's 2-in-1 feature is a nice feature and can be used a tablet and fold as a tent for display. The chromebook's color (ponder blue) and overall built is sleek and solid. This chromebook is about 4 lbs, a little on the heavier side as compared to other chromebooks. The chromebook battery life has been great as our 7th grader can use the chromebook at school all day with fully charged battery. As for usability, the chromebook has a touch screen and the keyboard has a back-light. Overall, this Asus chromebook has a lot of nice features and the sale price under $300 is a great deal for a chromebook that can be used for several years. Enclosed are several pictures of the chromebook.

Laptop only works 3 months at a time
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had high hopes for this laptop. I am pretty barebones in what I needed a laptop for. I use almost exclusively google and android products thus a chromebook was an easy choice and a great price. However within the first 3 months of using the laptop it turned off and simply did not charge. This was only after lightly using it as I have a work laptop that I use everyday. Geeksquad was very helpful and I got my device back around 3 weeks later. There was no issue and I went on using the laptopn until around 3 months later the same issue happened again! I had been using the laptop and suddenly the charger would not show an indicator light or any other signs of life from the device. Average rating takes into account that it is light weight, fast, portable, and is a 2 in 1 which i need for design. Its hard to say if average is far too generous or not harsh enough as I have only gotten to use this laptop passively for 2 3-month intervals at a time. Hopefully it comes back from geeksquad fixed for good! Side note: -speakers are muffled because they are placed on the bottom underside of the laptop. -charging port on both sides!

Smooth and Easy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I didn’t think I would fall in love using it. I bought for my daughter to use but I want to try the product I bought for her… I might asked her to switch with my MacBook for this one! I love the touch of the keyboard and it’s very convenient doing my report as it is touch screen. It’s easy for me to tap check boxes for my report than clicking a mouse for it! I also love the part where you can use it as a tablet as well! I LOVE IT <3

Great for school work and playing Roblox
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this Chromebook to replace by kid’s old Chromebook for school work and gaming entertainment. This Chromebook is much more snappy and fast than I expected and is my first AMD based laptop and I am quite impressed with the performance. Tried 2 other Intel Celeron based Chromebooks from Amazon and they lagged and struggled to do basic things. Do not get me wrong Intel makes good processors too but know which kind of processor you are getting from them before you buy. This is where I learned to do better prior research on the processor itself from either Intel’s or AMD’s website. Go to their website and you can type in the processor model number and get the quarter period and year the design was released as well as the number of core processors and threads, the more the better. As for gaming this Chromebook works well with Roblox for gaming and you can set the parental controls accordingly so you do not have to govern what your kid is doing. Would highly recommend this particular Chromebook to anyone for school and light to moderate gaming needs. And another thing, this laptop does have a backlit keypad and the screen can flip around to the back as shown in the pics, making the screen much more stable/sturdy to use the touch screen functionality if you want to.

Q: Questionwhat is the auto update expiration date for this model
Asked by jerry.
- A:Answer 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: QuestionUnder 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!
Asked by 47LL.
- A:Answer 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.
Answered by Kimber
Q: QuestionWhen 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?
Asked by Froboy77.
- A:Answer 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: QuestionIs this good for editing youtube content?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer 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.
