I was a bit unsure about purchasing a Chromebook instead of a full laptop with windows but after analyzing all my actual uses of my dying laptop over the last few years I reached the conclusion that the Chromebook did literally everything I needed and the price point was so low that I could go for a top of the line Chromebook such as the Asus Flip C302. it's well made, attractive, and works wonderfully. It boots super fast and as a great display both as a laptop and as a tablet. The speakers were a surprise as they have great sound and wonderful left/right channel separation easily discernible. It took me a bit to get used to the chrome application but since I was already using the chrome browser on my laptop, once I logged indo chrome, this Chromebook loaded in all my bookmarks, tabs, and passwords right off the cloud,. In other words, I was up and running in less than 5 minutes and literally had to do no more than log in. As a plus I love that you chab charge through either the left or right USB C ports (simply brilliant) and that it has a backlit keyboard.Read full review

I installed crouton so I can run Linux kde, giving a lot of flexibility. Really good for light to medium tasks, between chrome os, android, and Linux. Was even able to edit small videos using kdenlive and play dust an Elysian tale on steam, but the processor starts to bog down using lots of video effects or games not quite optimized for series M chips. For example playing Braid wasn't a very smooth experience with lots of lag. I was hoping I could do heavy tasks on this but that's not the case. Should have known better. Otherwise pretty satisfied. Case in point, don't get this if you need a heavy hitter.

Bought this from a guy who expected a PC. All of my interaction with work is through online portals, and I knew this touchscreen model could run android apps (as an emulation..?). The touchscreen is responsive and has a nice display. The keyboard is backlit and i wish i could not do a white light, but it is very futuristic. Android apps are kinda clunky, as it is not an android machine, but they work well enough for drawing apps (like Autodesk's). I set mine up to dual boot Gallium OS as well- aside from a speaker driver (pop noise, sometimes) it works beautifully. LAYS FLAT. I had no idea how useful that would be until I could.

The previous I had Chromebook was an ASUS c100 flip, this is a great upgrade. I've had some audio jack issues where the headphone audio is significantly quieter but a restart seems to fix it. I was able to install Linux to run alongside ChromeOS which works great. The keyboard light is nice. This is a great high-ish end Chromebook that I definitely recommend.

Although I like my chrome book, it is heavier than my iPad and in vertical hold for the touch tablet screen - it is awkward to hold it for playing games. Nevertheless, the clarity of the screen, the long battery life and the amazing quickness and responsiveness to the touch make it the best laptop I have ever had- looking back to the many windows and other laptops I have owned, including my old gaming laptop. Also, Watching streamed videos and downloaded books on this is a pleasure.
