Reviews for the Asus Chromebook Flip CX5601, i5-1235U

At £879 it's more expensive than the Chromebook Spin 714, but it's still not hugely pricey in comparison to other business-ready Chromebooks. It also looks and feels distinctly more premium than the recent clutch of Chromebook Plus models, with a thoroughly usable keyboard and impressive performance and battery life to boot. The Spin 714 has the edge when it comes to the quality of its display and is slightly better value for money, but if you're looking for a big-screen alternative, the Chromebook Enterprise Flip CB5 is as good as they come.

When a company makes a device that looks similar to an older one and simply increases the size a bit, you just expect the largeness to make room for better hardware. In this case, it just didn’t. I’d seriously doubt anyone would notice a performance bump over the more-attractive black and white CX5 and I know for certain that the keyboard, trackpad and speakers are all just as good in that model as well. In the end, this Chromebook just feels like a sidestep and in this price range – $649 MSRP – there are simply better devices out there to buy. Yeah, it gets updates until June of 2030, but that’s true of a bunch of Chromebooks out there. For this one, I’d tell you to skip it unless you are really into ASUS Chromebooks or really wanted the CX5 and can’t find one anywhere. Everyone else should probably keep looking.
