Customer Ratings & Reviews

I absolutely love this machine. It's very solidly built, the screen is large and has excellent image quality, and the keyboard is sturdy and responsive. The only negative I have is that the screen shakes a little when I type, but if you flip it over and use an external keyboard, then there are no issues whatsoever (pic included). I don't use it to run games except those from Google Play, but it runs all of those extremely well. If you understand it's a Chromebook and all that entails, you're going to absolutely love it!

It is incredibly versatile! You want a laptop? Check. You want a touchscreen? Check. You want a tablet? Check. You want a monitor? Check. This is the best; I love Chromebooks!

Great laptop! It was much bigger than I expected lol. I bought mine for college. The only issues I’ve had is that with it being a Chromebook, it’s not compatible with a lot of software that universities use and it’s really too big to carry casually in a backpack. But the laptop itself is wonderful!

This laptop has been everything I had hoped for! From the speed, to the picture quality and battery life. I would recommend this laptop to any and everyone.

I love it, I wanted a apple laptop but this is in way better with touch screen and basically like a big ipad because it folds completely. Its big but its lightweight. Its very fast and effective and good for work or School. Just need to understand the features better

The display is good for the price, color is not it if you're expecting nice color quality. The touchscreen is very smooth and the fold is very nice with 1 motion if you can carry 10 lbs no problem with your shoulders. The speakers are also should not be the main focus either but theres a headphone jack port with an HDMI.

Very big touch screen. very fast speed.easy to use love it all

I love this laptop. Its has large screen and resolution is nice.

Overall this computer is absolutely AMAZING. It has a 2 in 1 design, it’s touchscreen, it has a numeric keypad, usb ports, and a backlit keyboard. The only thing that I didn’t like about this computer is that it is not compatible with The Sims 4 or any EA games. I got this computer for two reasons: 1.) to be able to get my work done and 2.) to play The Sims 4. EA is not compatible with Chromebooks OS, you would need an OS like Windows. I’d say for my first computer it’s pretty fantastic.

Best bang for your buck laptop for college students. Long battery life and high speed graphics.

I think the laptop is great. It has a very good touch screen and it works at 100. I bought it for my studies and it has been fantastic for me. I recommend them at 100.

I love it learning how to use it I trusted it affordable a lot of people don't know this but if you have the YouTube app on your phone

I love this laptop great for school awesome tablet fast response

Works great, easy set up for my needs and fast. Luv the backlit keyboard. I connected a wireless mouse which works perfectly. The screen is large, bright and clear. This is a nice lightweight chromebook that is fast and a nice large screen, and a good amount of built in memory.

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.

A large screen (kinda like a 3x4) allows me to view two side-by-side letter-sized pages effortlessly without scrolling down to see the full page. It's really fast. This device can keep up with my speed and multitasking needs. This means I do not get distracted by the lags that come with loading a webpage or a video in high-res. It's fast with a highly responsive screen. Big touchpad. You can plug in your charger on either side. The battery lasts for a long time and can be extended even more with a battery-saver option found in the settings. The video camera is superb, with background blur options! Sound quality and video calling without headphones do not create an echo. After having issues with two other Chromebooks on day one from a different brand, I can tell this Chromebook will stay with me, finally!

This is my 5th Chromebook and by far the best. I currently have a Duet 3 as well and while I love that one for the portability, this ASUS is drastically faster. It has a great selection of ports, USB-C charging on both sides, backlit keyboard and pretty much everything you need for productivity and entertainment. It is obviously not super portable but I do take it with me on some trips when I need the screen size or just raw power. The only thing that I consider a negative is there is some backlight bleed on the edges of the display but it's only noticeable on dark screens. I still notice it from time to time while watching Netflix due to the black borders but it doesn't bother me.

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.

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.
