Customer Ratings & Reviews

I absolutely love this machine. I have 9 Chromebooks, this one among my top 3 favorites. PC World didn't give the ASUS CX5601 a great review and I'm still trying to comprehend why. Super sharp screen, true to life color gamut and backlit keyboard. Keys are super comfortable to type on. Not all Intel i3 chips are the same. This one clocks faster than any of my other i3 machines. Lots of ports. Would absolutely recommend.

Really nice Chromebook! My wife likes the way chromebooks function. And they do make high end Chromebooks that are really nice and this is one of them. I’ve always liked ASUS, and once again, they outdid themselves. My wife loves it and it has great sound, great picture, great response to the touchscreen, and overall just a really good laptop.

This is my 3rd chrome book I love the screen size and the back lite key board. The speed is great also can watch movies on my amazon prime sound from the speakers was great does have a little weight to it tho I would buy again.

This is a great computer. I like the privacy shutter. The sound quality is good. The screen is large and the colors are good and it seems bright enough. I have it at the half way mark. Track pad works great and I love the keyboard as it's like typing on a regular typewriter. I haven't noticed any lagging it's very fast. The keys are lit so you can type in the dark and it's quiet. I would recommend this to a friend.

Nice size screen. Fast loading pages. Nice that it has a touchscreen.

I'm no stranger to premium Chromebooks. Over the past few years I've owned the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook, the 1st gen Asus Flip CX5 and now this one. As some background as to why I enjoy premium chromebooks: I am a student, writer and a creative professional. Meaning, I need something that I can type on for hours at a time and something that won't annoy my eye that's trained to pick out visual flaws such as pixelation or discoloration. Also being a gamer, Steam Link is a staple on all of my Chromebooks. Rimworld isn't going to play itself afterall. Coming from the Galaxy and last years CX5? This model is fine. The keyboard is comfy for my use and the screen while not the greatest I've used, isn't terrible. Compared to the previous year's model, the sound on this one is noticeably lackluster, especially where bass is concerned. Mind you, I'm not looking for something that will shake the walls, but if Barry White is singing in his lows, I want to hear his chest and not just his nose. Overall for a premium Chromebook, it's fine. Great if you're looking for a larger screen. Personally I don't plan to hold onto this one for long since Google announced a new line of cloud gaming Chromebooks earlier this month which I'll be checking out to potentially replace this one. The build quality on this Chromebook is middling, especially coming from the aluminum Samsung Galaxy and last year's CX5 that used higher quality plastics.

This was just what I needed 2 complete my book called: From GR82CYA 2 Spirit B ing!! 2 b on bookshelves @12/25!! I really enjoy the simplicity, ease of operation, and touchscreen. It was a steal of a deal!! I've been without a computer 4 @10 years. This product is well worth its w8 in gold!! Lord James

It's great. Moves fast. I love the touch screen , so it almost feels like your on your phone.

It's look like new work very fast and very good battery backup

Really nice and fast and it looks good holds battery life well

This is a great Chromebook. The only thing I could complain about is the weight. It is a little heavy but that isn't a huge deal for me. It is really responsive and I love the large, bright touchscreen.

Broke my screen on my Chromebook, and needed one quick. Wehnt in just to look, and this one was a great deal. When I got it home it is like the gift that keeps on giving. I did not look 100% at specs when I was in store, but it has wayyyyy more than I expected, and is a powerful beast!! This was a few weeks ago, but the associate that helped me took the time to find the right fit for me, and then some!!!! Thanks

Wonderful experience I used Affirm and waa kept up to date via emails from Best Buy. It was delivered the next day in a secure box (no name box). It took me a few days to activate my NEW laptop BUT it was SO simple. It chatged in a hour . Loaded is 15 mins. Ive been using it everyday.

this asus chomebook 16in ( 2 in 1 ) touch i3 8gb 128 ssd is great for netflix ,email, and browsing the internet. it is great for watching movies.

The item was purchased open box. It is missing the charger (USB C) and one key plate is missing. In general, I like how the unit performs though it would be even better if the two minor things were addressed.

I love love my Chrome Book. I bought it to use for college homework and it exceeds my expectations. There are so many great features that I am still learning. I love the touch screen, the numeric key pad and the size. You won’t regret buying this!

With Widows 10 support ending soon, I needed an alternative to my Microsoft Surface Pro. This is my first Chromebook and so far this has been a decent replacement. Yes, there are some things this can't do, but everything that I need it to do, like browser based applications, it handles with ease. My one complaint was I didn't like how the case retains fingerprints/hand prints. I purchased a laptop skin and now it's fine and is a better reflection of my personality.

I’m very happy to buy this laptop. It’s fast and it has very good quality speakers . It’s little bit exp but it has good quality of performance . It’s also touch screen.

Been using this now for a few days and I love it. Easily the nicest chromebook I've used/owned and I've owned a bunch. The one thing its missing is a fingerprint reader. Besides that, screen is great, backlit keyboard is great, ports are great. Really enjoying using this thing so far.

This is my first Chromebook and I spent weeks researching the best option for my needs/budget. While it's not perfect, it's pretty dang close for what I need it for. It's fast, has great external esthetics, and even has a number pad which is so quite helpful. The 360 degree hinge is a game changer and it has a VERY solid structure to it. I've never once been concerned of the hinge malfunctioning or any other structural issue. My ONLY hangup is the track pad. If you're light with the pressure you use with your finger, it's not bad at all but, it's sort of "tacky" and there seems to be a decent amount of friction which makes it not glide smooth. Again, if you're very light with your touch, it's great. All in all I'd give this a 9.5 out of 10 on the Vin-O'-Meter (I'm Vin). I use it every day for work and personal and am very very satisfied with it. Only other hangup would be the screen, at times, could benefit from being brighter.
