Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love Google chrome as a web browser and I am on the Google eco-sphere so this review might be a little bias. LOL. I have used a number of laptops using windows 11 and once, a MacBook which I really didn't care for but that's a whole other subject. Setting up my Asus chromebook was super easy as I stated before, I have much of my information and accounts with Google so everything was seamless. So let's talk about the Asus Chromebook itself. There is so much to like but also a few things I would have changed if I could. First, I love the color. White is so much better than all the chrome/silver laptops I see. The layout of the keys are very nice and spaced out just enough where typing feels comfortable and not cramped. So here is my 1st gripe, keyboard isn't backlit. At this price, I wish it was. Track pad is really big compared to my 15' laptop, see photo, and it might be good for some people. For me, it just kept getting in the way. I found myself constantly moving the cursor with my palm as I rested it on the laptop. Speakers are good, but at the bottom of the laptop so you definitely lose some volume. They should have placed it somewhere we could hear more of it. Screen is ok, not the best but definitely good enough for watching videos or surfing the web. It can get washed out in sunlight. Touch screen is really nice and super responsive. And the laptop itself is quick and can handle multiple things without any hiccups. I really think this is a great laptop for anyone that may be a student or just need basic computing.

The Google Plus Laptop offers speed and versatility with a different take on things geared towards android users. And while this laptop is amazingly beautiful its speed ensures that you'll be able to multi-task with ease and simplicity. First off i have to start by saying there are some very key distinctions between a Chromebook and a Windows based laptop. The Chromebook in my opinion is Google's answer to Apple's iPad in the way it lets you sync everything from your phone directly to your laptop as a backup. Diving right in to the laptop i have to say i was very awe stuck with how beautiful something so simple as white could look on a laptop. Pictures seriously do this laptop no justice. Setting up the laptop was easy and it was such a breath of fresh air to watch how quickly all my files, settings and photos very loaded up once i was logged in to my account. If your an Android user you can back up all your photos or files directly from your phone to your laptop, which is pretty much how all Chromebooks are. What makes this one slightly better is the speed of this laptop. Navigating through multiple sites while finishing up a project in split screen presents no lag or locking up. My company likes to use Google meets for everything, and while in our meetings we have to have multiple windows up in order to go over project reports. This laptop gets it done with literally the click of a button. The forward facing camera (which does have a privacy shutter) presents amazingly good quality and streams great video quality even under low light conditions. The built in speakers give crisp sound quality with little to almost no distortion. Battery life is surprisingly long depending on your settings of course. On full brightness while using it mildly to write up presentations i got about 10 hours of straight usage. Full charge on a dead battery took a little over an hour. And one key feature i love about Chromebooks is the "pick up where you left off" feel it gives you. I like how i can start a project, get tired and close the laptop to go to sleep and then pick it right back up the next day to finish what i started. Now testing how long the laptop can hold charge when you do this, i noticed that on a full charge i had started writing a document, closed the laptop and let it sit for 3 days. After opening it back up to continue what i was doing the battery had only dropped about 10% down to 90% battery life. Now these laptops are not designed for gaming other than using the app store and some mild online sites that are compatible. But i still like to see how far they have come with their operating software in the way of gaming. So as far as Steam goes it is compatible with Chromebooks or at least this Chromebook, and will allow you to download their software and play any games from your Steam library. However at 8 gigs of Ram and a not so good video card don't expect to be blown away. Still it was nice to see that this Chromebook did offer that compatibly for some down time for those Steam users out there. All in all its a great Chromebook that is amazingly fast and smooth which is something Chromebooks always seemed to lack for me. Their pre-loaded templates for resume, power point presentations and other such key templates is always a nice feature to have all at the push of the quick access button. This laptop is such a amazing step up and is made by Asus who has always been known to make good quality gaming products and pc products for that matter. But the thing i can't wrap my head around no matter how trivial it is, is the lack of a back lit keyboard. I can't for the life me understand why so many manufactures still don't use them. Especially considering how many Americans now a days how to work longer hours and deeper in to the night in order to meet deadlines or make ends meet. The lack of this feature makes it difficult to work at night even with the lights on. Why would it be hard to see the keys with the light on you may ask? Well that's because in beauty there are flaws. The white keys tend to blend in with the white chassis of the laptop making them difficult at times to see. It would of made sense to put a backlit key to distinguish white keys from a white backdrop. This is just my opinion but one that stopped me from using it as main go to laptop. If this doesn't bother you or if you have eyes like an eagle then i say buy this laptop cause it is very quick and beautiful. However for me i have to be able to see what im doing at night and it is such a big pet peeve of mine that if i was in the market for one i would pass on this set up simply for the lack of that small feature
