Reviews for the Asus Chromebook CM34 Flip CM3401
Source: Chrome Unboxed
Priced at $499, the Asus Chromebook CM34 Flip is a fantastic value. Yeah, it’s a bit thick and heavy for a 14-inch convertible, but those are small nags that won’t bother most people. And when you put together all this device offers and the starting price, it’s easy to see its appeal. But multiple times since it launched, it’s been dropped to a ridiculuous $299 – enough times to make it feel kinda normalized. And when it’s on that sort of sale, this Chromebook becomes an absolutely exceptional piece of hardware that – for the money – you’d be hard pressed to find a rival for.

With its vibrant touchscreen, 2-in-1 form factor and fantastic battery life, the Flip has a lot to offer at this $599 price point. It’s a good option for college students or those who just need an everyday machine. The touchpad is spacious and the 1080p webcam captures clear, colourful video. It’s heavier than most convertible laptops, though, which may be a dealbreaker to some people: you might end up with a sore shoulder if you plan on lugging it around day after day. That said, if you don’t mind the additional heft, it’s a really good value buy. Hopefully it’ll come to the UK at some point.

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.
