Reviews for the Asus Chromebook C424MA
Source: ARS Guide
While the Asus Chromebook C424 isn’t super-powerful, beyond that it’s hard to find too much fault with this device. Most of the issues highlighted can be sorted by spending more on a higher configuration, but the C424 remains a good value. It has a good build quality that rivals far more expensive Windows laptops, a beautiful display, and a fantastic keyboard that makes it a great buy. Overall, the Asus C424MA-AS48F is a premium-feeling machine that delivers an enjoyable experience for less money than its Windows-based brethren, as long as you’re able to get by with Chrome OS. And again, that’s getting easier and easier to do. If you need a Windows laptop for around the same price, the Asus Vivobook 14 is a good alternative.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
