Customer Ratings & Reviews

I got this just to take on the road so I could stream and deal with emails etc. Fits on the airline tray table quite nicely. It's a great travel recreational laptop, but doesn't have the power for serious work. However, for what it is, it's outstanding. The pseudo tablet feature comes in handy at times as well.

It's ideal for everyday use at home. Easy to use. Nice screen size. Lit keyboard. I am pleased. The cord is a little too short for me. The battery is a little disappointing. However, it's fair to say that I don't use any of the available battery saving tools. Overall I definitely do recommend the ASUS Chromebook.

I bought this because I needed connectivity to the internet. I don't use the MS software suite or anything else on this computer. It is faster than my HP with a slower broadband. The size is perfect for sitting on the countertop. The battery lasts longer than my HP.

Good solid chromebook. Good battery life and touchscreen works great! Syncs all accounts easily and is a quick computer with expandable memory.

I have to start by stating that this was my first ever chromebook which was my biggest hesitation as I was considering my next laptop. After about two weeks now and as I write this review I cannot stress how much I have been surprised and impressed by this machine. First off the aesthetics are beyond anything else on the market. I get looks and questions almost daily from random folk on the bus or at the coffee shop about "what is that?" or "did you customize that?" The all white ceramic finish is just plain cool and the all black velvet insides are a classy contrast that gives it a sophisticated look that isn't as over the top as something in bright red or funky blue. The build itself is metal on the lid and hard plastic everywhere else. The ceramic coating extends all over the outsides to give it a really distinct and yet grippy feel to the touch. It feels solid in the hand and is well built through and through. The full size keyboard is by far one the best I've ever used. It has what is called a velvet finish, which sure doesn't feel like velvet but it feels very nice either way. The buttons have just the right amount of travel and clickyness while the large track pad is precise and smooth. Also having a 15.6" screen allows for a full size 10 key number pad as well. Being a 2-in-1 design allows this bad boy to be used in multiple positions from standard laptop to tablet to tent etc. All of these come in super handy and the touchscreen works great. I have found myself using it every which way depending on where I am and what I am doing although I have to admit using it as a tablet while laying in bed can be quite unwieldy if not borderline impossible, but that is a minimal trade off for such a huge screen. Boy what a screen though. It is big and beautiful at 1080p resolution with colors that pop and sharp crisp images one of the aspects that was genuinely surprising to me. From daily work to movies and the occasional game I'm still impressed by how nice it is. Another truly amazing aspect are the built in speakers. At least in my experience these harman kardon tuned speakers are the best I've ever heard on a laptop. Sure they aren't as good or as loud as an external setup but for built in I doubt you can find better in this price range. Finally to what really matters. Performance. For those of you that are techies like me you can go to rtings or chrome unboxed and see the actual performance stats and charts but for this review let me tell you without a doubt this beast is by far the fastest laptop I have ever used. The stats will tell you that the Tiger Lake 11th gen i3 absolutely blows everything out of the water including 10th gen i5 and i7. What I can tell you is from web browsing to streaming to gaming to running up to 8 apps at once while streaming live radio I have yet to experience anything close to lag or stutter. I mean it is shockingly fast! Battery life for me has been more than enough although I see many models out there claiming to get far more. Currently I am averaging between 6.5 - 7 hrs which is far longer than I ever need to go without access to a plug for charging. In fact I was just leaving it on for the family to fool around on it and watch movies etc for sake of testing. I cannot sit at a desk for more than 4hrs anyway without going crazy so its never going to be an issue for me. If there are any downsides it is based on my personal view and may not even matter to most. Either way it is really nitpicking for the sake of not sounding biased. Really the big one is that although I just praised the look and feel of the ceramic white exterior and velvet black interior both are absolute dirt and grime magnets. With an all white outside I guess one can expect that but even when I am fully aware of this and cautious about it I still find myself constantly having to wipe down fingerprints and random stains every night. And even the slightest bit stands out like sore thumb. Surprisingly the same same goes for the inside. That nice comfy finish just sucks up oil from your fingers like crazy and worse yet then gets transferred to the screen. Which means I always keep wet wipes and a microfiber cloth in my bag. Again this is by no means a deal breaker, but something that you should know before making your decision, like the kids aren't going anywhere near this guy with those cheetos covered fingers lol. All in all this has to be the most satisfied I have been with a new laptop in a long, long while. Highly recommended!

The newest generation i3 processor in this ASUS 15.6 inch Chromebook brings a huge jump in performance. I own Chromebooks with older i7 processors and double the RAM but this i3 destroys both of them. Amazing performance and a solid build with a big screen makes this a winner in my opinion.

a little heavy but very effective.. I am very satisfied.

Beautiful exterior and design, keyboard feels amazing, and it runs very quickly. A couple of things I wish I knew before purchasing, the caps lock key requires you to press ALT and the button where the caps lock normally is. Then repeat the same process to undo the caps lock, etc.

Love the touchscreen. Easy to use once you get used to having a chrome book. Only gave 4 stars because when you flip it over, there isn’t a digital keyboard to continue typing.

One of the fastest Chromebooks I've used period. Build quality is very mediocre, feels like it has tons of empty space inside. Screen while better than some of the lower end devices, is unacceptable in a device of this price range. It's dim, has a huge air gap between it and the pen digitizer and the touch is laggy and unresponsive. The speakers are amazing, they aren't MacBook pro level but they get close. The trackpad on mine failed within a week and it had to be returned and exchanged for a Galaxy Chromebook. I guess it's all down to what you value in a laptop. There's not much that can beat it for speed, but the rest was disappointing.

Good laptop, Got it for school work and its great. My only issue has been the camera. Having trouble with system detecting it. I can not get anyone to assist even thou its still under warranty

Love the quality of this 2 in one! The price is just a perk! Purchased for school and have not been disappointed. I considered getting a mouse but haven’t needed it bc it’s also touchscreen. Highly recommend!

I love my chrome book. It’s my first time having one and actually I prefer this over a laptop. I feel it’s better to navigate without windows.

This is definitely an upgrade from my previous Chromebook. Love the touch screen and the back-lit keyboard since i do most of my work in low light settings. The performance has been top notch thus far.

This ASUS Chromebook is a great laptop. I like the size, it being a 15.6 in. screen. The screen is also a touch-screen, which is a neat feature. Overall, this laptop has met all the specs I've wanted for my new laptop to go to college with.

solid 4 1/2 stars!! Purchased as 'family chromebook' after getting fed-up with forever failing (very expensive) HP laptop and learning our (3) schoolaged girls will NOT need their own chromebook until high school (now provided by school district)...plus my wife was spending vast majority of her online time either assisting homework by 'backdoor'ing' HP laptop in Google Classroom, etc. Actual unit: since for family, moved to much larger, nicer screen and more memory+SSD storage, new gen processor, and price!!

I originally had a high powered, very high quality PC that could run anything fast and smooth. However, I consistently had issues that made the PC unusable due to Windows updates and more. I wanted to sell it and look elsewhere to find a computer that is fast, reliable, high quality, and looks professional. This was the PC I went with and I am so glad I did. It is quiet, extremely fast, and gets the job done. Unless your a hardcore gamer or a professional photo/video editor, I highly recommend this computer.

All in all good Chromebook except for the cover color. Decent battery life, ergonomic keyboard, great speakers and crisp display.

I wish you could find a hard shell case for it other than that it’s a great computer

This is my 6th Chromebook - I have several throughout my house in addition to a well-spec'd Dell laptop. This is by far my favorite machine to use. I was wanting something more powerful and with a larger screen for my less-than-great eyesight. I was going to hold out for the larger screen of the Acer 317 but the higher spec'd version isn't available yet and I don't know if it ever will be. Short story long, picked up this machine and absolutely love it! I wish it had higher screen brightness and a fingerprint reader, but other than that I absolutely love using it. The numeric keyboard is a bit narrow, but better than not having it at all. Very handy having USB-C on either side. I'm 56 and retired so not worried about the weight of carrying it around in a backpack.
