Reviews for the Asus Chromebook Flip CM5 CM5500FDA-IS588T

80% Asus Chromebook Flip CM5 review: A stealthy, sturdy AMD laptop with a big display
Source: CNet
The Asus Chromebook Flip CM5 looks good, it's well built and the 15.6-inch display gives you room for work and a better entertainment experience -- whether or not you plan to game on it. It is bigger and heavier than your average Chromebook. And the dim, glossy display might make working outdoors a bit of a pain, and cranking up the brightness to battle reflections is going to shorten your battery life. It is nice to see something a little different in the category, though, and the CM5 stands out in more ways than one.

70% Asus Chromebook Flip CM5

Windows convertible laptops have nothing on the Asus Chromebook Flip CM5 (starts at $499.99; $599.99 as tested). Not many Chromebooks have HDMI ports, obliging you to fuss with a USB-C DisplayPort dongle to connect an external monitor, but the Asus has one. And hardly any Chromebooks have handy Home, End, Page Up, and Page Down keys—you have to team the menu and Alt keys with the cursor arrows—but the Flip CM5's backlit keyboard includes them. Like all 15.6-inch convertibles, the Asus is too heavy and unwieldy for comfort in tablet mode, but it's a perky, well-equipped, and affordable option for going online and Google Workspace productivity.
