You might find it hard to select a Chromebook having
distinguished features as most of them are found packed with almost same specs
delivering similar kind of performance. Even the looks are quite similar. Well,
ASUS has not followed the same lines, in-fact introduced a streamlined Chromebook
Flip, hoping to give people with something fresh and happening. It manages to
differentiate itself from other Chromebooks by packing expensive features and
stylish design. Let’s see if this Chromebook is special enough as it seems.
Design
Starting off with its design, we were delighted to see this
Chromebook styled pleasantly with full metallic chassis. The All-aluminum body
gives the notebook a much trendy and classy look. Considering the price tag
this machine comes with, it surely is something you’ll find peace at having.
Because of this awesome eminent formation, it gives a tough time to Windows
laptops.
Utilizing the space as much as it could, this 10.1-inch
device comes with a full-sized key-board and a decent sized trackpad. You might
find the trackpad bit smaller in size but it’s not something which disappoints
drastically.
One the most attractive features of this Chromebook is its
ability to transform into tablet. This is an added functionality which makes it
super desirable.
Display
Chromebooks are not popular for coming up with HD display,
rather they are seen with decent resolution, good but not so brilliant. But
ASUS flip Chromebook introduces a touch display with commendable resolution of 1280x800
as this is something rare in the world of Chromebooks. Moreover, there is some
extra space at the sides of the screen that enables the user to grip the flip
easily without any risks of hitting the touchscreen.
Keyboard and trackpad
Well, where
we found the compact size of this Chromebook aiding in high portability, we also
found its key-board and trackpad quite smaller than the standard size on the
other hand. You will feel a noticeable difference while typing. The smaller
keyboard and trackpad might irritate you when typing and navigating the stuff.
This shortcoming might refrain those buyers from having this notebook who need
to type on daily basis.
Performance and real-world use
Powered by Rockchip 1.8GHz Quad-core RK3288C, Asus Flip
Chromebook delivers a rock-solid performance. Furthermore, it comes with 2
options in terms of memory and storage, 2 or 4GB LPDDR3 RAM and 16 or 32GB
respectively. We would like to recommend you to opt for the 4GB version as it will
keep things easier for you as memory is the key to carry out effective
multi-tasking functionalities between Google Docs, Twitter, and Gmail etc.
It was a pleasure seeing the Chromebook performing this well.
It showed no problems with usual browsing tendencies but it did display some
glitches when surfing on media rich sites such as Facebook and Google. We found
it hanging at some points. Otherwise the
Chromebook worked incredibly. The benchmarks revealed quite good scores
especially in comparison to its rivals. The ASUS Chromebook scored nearly
double to Acer 740 in Sunspider tests.
Battery life
Battery life is one of the most important aspects for
deciding the fate of any notebook. Well, then Chromebook Flip has passed this
hurdle cleanly by remaining alive for total 8 hours and 10 minutes. This is
just simply wow as we have seen notebooks scoring 8 hours but not more than
that. This means you are easily going to pass a long working day with this
Chromebook. Work on your documents or browse the important stuff with no
worries of battery draining out. Also,
enjoy your weekends watching your favorite movies and listening to your favorite
songs with this long lived Asus Flip Chromebook.
