This device looks AWESOME!!!! I can't wait for the review!
Oh man. Once you opened that thing I had the same expression: "Ahhh... those bezels!!" Beautiful machine.
Got this today, as an early birthday present its amazing!
Hi, i just wanted to thank you for your reviews and information provided, you helped me weed through the forest of chromebooks out there. i decided to get the ASUS flip 434. keep up the good work man...
Sweet, waiting eagerly for this review
My Asus C200 (2012) and Asus C302 (2017) are both going strong.
Actually, I'm upset they haven't truly aged. I don't have a real reason to buy another computer. 😂
pterotactical ? It's a laughing emoji. Get a life.
Then stick to them foreva
Good stuff mate keep it going 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼
Size is important for students and such carrying it everywhere... good job ASUS.
and at work
@@notanymoreok Pfft, work isn't important!
Can you do a comparison in your upcoming review between this and the older ASUS C302?
Agree. I'm still using the C302 and this new Asus looks like it's upgrade replacement, however apart from the bezeless design and USB a port is there really much s difference?
@@nigelmorgan4902 exactly, and I'd like to know if the footprint is any bigger, or ideally, any smaller
Nigel Morgan RAM? And weight?
@@clementkheng5860 Both Chromebooks have identical internals, nothing had changed there. I don't really think they extra price and the few changes are worth it, so I'm just going to get the C302 instead.
@@clementkheng5860 8gb ram he says at the start
What stylus would you recommend? Even for an older version of the flip. Thanks! Intro is great!
I guess the best comparison you can make with the display is how it stacks up against the Dell Inspiron Chromebook 14, which seems to be the champ of the recent 1080 14" devices. Looking forward to the review.
Do a head to head vs the x360 chromebook!!! Thats the other ive been considering for my new chromebook. Been runnimg the samsung chromebook 3, which by no means is a slouch. P4p i love this baby a lot, but i want something with usb c charging and a little more oomph.
I was gonna return my Lenovo 15" for this but looking at the price and specs the Lenovo seems like a better option
It's still one of the nicest-looking and most portable Chromebooks (if not laptops in general).
Very nice. If it's out in the UK soon I'm jumping on it, if not, then it's the Dell 14.
All things considered, how well do you think this stacks up to the venerable 302CA? Funny that all this time later, it's still holding close to its original price point.
Could you show the laptop side to side with other popular chromebooks like the HP x360 and the Lenovo C630? For the purpose of comparing the screens, because in this video it seems to me that the screen on this ASUS is not that bright and that is very important to me. Maybe you didn't have it at max brightness while recording this video? Would you say that the screen on this ASUS looks better than those of its competitors? Thanks!
I really wish they'd move this line to 3:2 screens like the Samsung and the Pixelbook. The keyboard on this is a dream, and I'd love to have one as a dedicated writing machine, but the extra vertical real estate of 3:2 makes writing feel so much nicer.
Yes - and would help create more space for a bigger trackpad too.
Still looking forward to a video on the high-end Asus C214.
I wish i had this PC. It looks soooo good!!!
If you've yet to purchase one, give it some time if budget is an issue. Prices will drop or you'll be able to find one in your local classifieds for cheap. At least at the moment, Chromebooks don't have a high resale value (even if they provide a tremendous amount of value). It's one of the nicest looking convertibles for sure. I had it for a while and can confirm what Robby mentioned about the look (particularly the thin bezels) inspiring users to be more productive. There's some magic in the screen as well when at full brightness; text appears nearly as sharp as on a retina display (and that includes light-colored text on dark backgrounds). I wish you the best of luck with getting your hands on one!
So which device has the best keyboard and trackpad: this or the Pixelbook?
Looking forward to the full review. But while this device looks pretty awesome out of the box, I really think it should at least have started off with 8 gigabytes of RAM at this price point. But we'll see how this puppy performs.
I love my 302 except one issue is the speakers are quiet and blow easily. Hope the new one has better speakers.
I've been looking for a laptop recently but I've recently come across the Nexdock 2 Kickstarter which would be convenient since I do everything on my note 9
This will probably be my work laptop and the HP x360 my home laptop.
This chromebook is shipping to my house rn it supposed to arrive tomorrow and I'm getting early jitters! ah my mouth is watering so much rn I bet I gonna dream about the chromebook tonight
Can you do a comparison against the HP x360 14? Please and thank you sir. Great video as always.
3:15 boii!😂 did you just drop that shit?!
What version of the Linux kernel is on it? Is it six years out of date as reported on the C320? I'm hoping at least v4.4 or the C434 won't be worth my buying.
@4:38 it's 87%, screen to body ratio
i have issues with the keyboard on my c302, could you go in depth with the keyboard on the full review for this model?
I generally HATE unboxings, and try to avoid them like the plague. But your enthusiasm for this particular Chromebook caught my attention. Can't wait to see the full review!
Love It.
Love watching your presentations. You have a "smoothness" about you when discussing tech. Of course, my wallet hates you. Lol. Almost everything you discuss, you make so compelling that my wallet has a mild stroke. It's ok though, keep them coming. I did have one question, can Chrome OS support duel screen monitors? I am deciding to replace my oooooold desktop and thinking of just getting a decent Chromebook to do that as I am retiring soon and possibly moving into a Fifth Wheel. Thanks and keep the videos coming!
- dual monitors have been around since day 1, in Chromebooks.
- $238.00 a LOUD 2in1, cheep and cheerful, chrome os, android & Linux (beta)

OMG IM SO GLAD THEY BROUGHT BACK THE USB PORT. I've had all of the asus c chromebooks since the c100. Does the bluetooth still suck? The bluetooth in the c202 and c302a never works.
Which software do you use while editing your videos?
Hi I love your videos and I'm hoping you can help me, I'm looking to get a Chrome book ,really looking at this one here, I only need for personal /gaming needs not work, my main question is I like to play the Game Farm Town on face book ,will it work on here? Or do you know of another that would be better? Other than the pixel I love that one but not the price or screen size. thank so much in advance, Karen
One thing if you plug this into a monitor and flip it into tablet mode can you use its keyboard, i.e. use this as a chromebox with attached keyboard where the screen is not in the way?
Is the keyboard aluminum or plastic? I know on the old C302 there was a plastic one.
It's plastic. It has the same key travel as the C302 so it should feel similar.
@2:04 you completely miss the top container tab, and just toss it without looking in it lol.
when is the full review coming ?
im not a computer guy so this question might sound stupid , but if you get a stylus or other smart pen can you use it on this or any 2 in 1 pc ?
Compare this side by side with the C302 ? Looks very similar?
I need a comparison between this product and HP Chromebook x360
I love my HP x360. i3 - 8GB Ram. Got it for 450.00 at Best Buy when it was on sale. Beautiful white cover and slate blue everything else. Nice color combination. Works flawlessly. I am using this in replacement of my still working fine-Pixel 2-2015 chromebook. But I love the Pixel also, so I do bring it out on the weekends. I know, I'm strange. :) But the Hp is very nice and well worth the 450.00.
Stephen A. I still want a Pixel but with two Asus Chromebooks that work beautifully, I can't justify it.
@@CoCMember I hear ya. Don't feel too guilty about it though. I am on my 6th Chromebook. Two I gave to my stepmother, one only a few months old and a new one for my father. I still have an Acer 720 (11.6 inch - i3 - 4GB Ram) which will be obsolete after this June. I am planning on giving it to a library board member, before June, who expressed an interest in a Chromebook, so she can see how one works. In retrospect, anyway. I love my new HP, especially at the sale price. I compared the HP and the Pixelbook at Best Buy, side by side, and felt the HP was the better choice for the money being spent. I haven't regretted it, especially the larger screen. Although, I am typing this on the Pixel 2-2015 machine. It has some hardware issues but rebooting clears them up, but still ...
Stephen A. I purchased it about 3 weeks ago and love it!!! I just can’t find a hard shell case for it to keep it white
@@kellykellssz How quickly is it getting dirty ? Probably just need to give it a quick wipe now and then. Mine is still clean and white. But I don't use mine away from the house, so that could be why it is staying clean.
Wow what a dream
can you please do a comparison between the Asus flip C434 Vs Google pixelbook please
Hi can you make a video about Web security or any antiviruses for chromebooks thank you .
Chromebooks do not need antivirus programs.Security is already in a chromebook and updated regularly.Hope this information helps
Could you do a comparison with Samsung Chromebook Plus gen 1?
I got it today. I like it overall. But trackpad seems wobbly, which I am not sure if it's normal. Does anyone have same problem? I also noticed that the resolution of touchscreen is not great.
Compare this to the new pixelbook or the present one or both or all three at once
I'd like to see it compared to the Dell 14 inch that personally own.
Could you compare it to the HP X360 so I can finally make up my mind? thanks!
Renaat yes please , tHat would be asome ! I am between devices too
Renaat I purchased the HP chromebook 14 x360 about 3 weeks ago and can’t stay off of it. It’s just perfect and the best. You can get it at Best Buy for $499. I’m very very very picky & iffy when it comes to devices. I researched, looked at reviews and TH-cam videos for about a month before purchasing and I’m very happy with my purchase. It’s portable, slim, sleek, light and beautiful. Runs fast and is vibrant. The only thing I hate is I can’t find a hard shell case for it because I think it’s so new. It’s white and I don’t want it to get dirty.
Lorenzo Caimari He did a review on the HP 14 x360 go check it out
I haven't bought either of these devices but if you're looking for one for portability I'd go with the ASUS. The thin bezels and no cooling fan make it muck smaller and lighter than the HP. If you need more processing power, an 8th gen i5 and i7 version will be released soon with 8-16 gb of RAM, but it will be pretty steep ($750-900?). The cool thing: the 8th gen i models will be faster than the Pixelbook, which has a 7th gen. The m3 is fine for most people, though. One more thing: The HP has a plastic bottom, and the ASUS is all aluminum. If I were you, I'd get the ASUS.
Me too! I'm holding off on my purchase because the x360 looks great, but I've had my eye on the C434 as well...
Could you do a comparison between this and the Pixelbook?
Wish Asus would make a thin bezel chromebook in a 15" size,i'd be all over that.
They do! Asus C534. The one to grab is the top spec model with n4200 Pentium processor, 4gb ram, 64gb storage and 1080p touchscreen display. Currently £299 here in UK which is a great deal. Not backlit keys though. Screen might not be wonderful either.
Can you do a teardown so we can see if we could upgrade the RAM ourselves?
I saw in another review that did have a teardown and the ram is soldered in and nothing can be upgraded by the user.
Does this work with the new USI style technology?
How does it compare to the Lenovo C630?
Lmao "standard fare for Acer." Well, he's not wrong, that would normally be Acer's classic minimal packaging...
Good upload, thanks for the snek peak.
The bottom line for me is that now that I have a windows machine, my Chromebook needs to be a lightweight device, and the hp x360, as amazing as it is, comes in a bit too heavy.
It might be a stupid question but does it have Bluetooth so earphones or headphones can be used?
It does, and it also has a headphone/microphone jack for hooking up wired versions of those devices.
Does the 3.3lbs weight not bother you at all?
I really wish Chrome OS would allow for icons on the desktop. Not having that, really removes my interest in buying one.
Can you charge it from either side. Being a leftie would love a right side chargeing device.
Good News for you in yes it can be charged from either side.
Is there any stylus/pen support? I read somewhere the 434 had no pen support, which is hard to believe.
I'm wondering too
I don't think there is. The HP x360 14 doesn't have it either.
How do use ms office word excel in offling like a normal windows laptop? Pleaase help me.
where is the write protection screw on this thing?
How do I enable my touchscreen? I just got it today but I cannot figure it out for the life of me.
I can imagine after the support for this product ends in a few years that it would make an amazing Linux computer. Especially the higher end models!
No1 chromebook
There are a few use cases for the tablet mode held in portrait, specifically some form-based webpages. The most recent one I noticed was making call for a political campaign. The tall vertical displayed the voter info completely, and the tablet mode was better than using a laptop mouse.
Any idea on a Europe/Benelux release date?
Good question...?
Can you confirm or not that this device has Linux App support?
chromeunboxed.com/you-can-now-order-the-asus-chromebook-flip-c434/
"Android and Linux app ready"
I wonder how the screen resolution of this device compares to the samsung chromebook pro
It's 1080p (1920 by 1080). The Samsung is 2400 by 1600.
How much does it cost
Lenovo C630 master race
Too bad about the RAM on this, otherwise it would be close to perfect.
Can i do video edditing on this?
Intel Core m3 for programming? is it possible?
Did he say Acer at 1:56?
Can you use twitch and discord on this chromebook
With Linux now available, 4/64 configs with fanless m3's is not enough. They need to move to 8gb ram with 128gb *ssd* storage and actively cooled CPUs. Atleast for the higher models.
They will be making models with i5s and i7s soon. These will be fanless Y chips, but the 8th generation i series will be more than enough power to run a chromebook, even linux apps.
Does it have TH-cam?
Anyone know which one have a better screen between this one and Chromebook pro?
Guozheng Zhu I've got the Pro and I feel like it's going to be hard to beat that screen.
@@benbfly I will agree with you. Because I am using a Chromebook pro too!
Ok so, I'm am a student going into grade 8 and I'm doing online school. Do you guys think this chromebook is a good choice for me?
If you've yet to upgrade your tech, and you like Chromebooks (particularly Chrome OS) in general, this is an awesome option. It's light, portable, and obviously looks great (not to mention it's built as such, having an all-metal, durable chassis). The screen gets pretty bright, and at its brightest setting, it almost appears to be a retina display (with no discernable pixels at normal viewing distance); oddly enough, text looks sharper on it than the 13.3-inch Full HD IPS screens commonly found on other Chromebooks. It breezes through typical productivity apps (this is including the 4 GB of RAM model), and you'd be able to do image editing as well as very light video editing at up to 1080p (contrary to what most reviewers have said [likely without having ever tried it on a Chromebook]). The 14-inch screen is plenty big for getting work done (without eye strain) for multiple hours of use per day (allowing you to sidestep hooking it up to an external monitor, unless absolutely necessary for your studies [eg: advanced programming, etc]).
Is this computer better than a MacBook Air??? Like the old one from 2014???
Andrew Fitzpatrick better off with the MacBook Air
At least you can get off the benefits of macOS but also easily dual boot it to run windows as well
Can't believe I'm considering spending $500+ for a chromebook. I've been living in the very convenient and economical $100-$200 Chromebook world for a while but I have noticed I am reaching for it over my macbook and ipad more and more.
Rich Daley I only started using my MacBook last month for the first time in 7 years! I'm learning to code. If Chromebook was a great replacement for that, I'd gladly never look at my Mac again.
@@CoCMember I'm not 100% certain, but I believe most Chromebooks can run Linux which may be sufficient for your needs.
@@hallnuts33 Many chromebook can run linux, but not even close to most. I think this one can though. You'd have to check ASUS tech support.
Not sure if anyone else noticed but the screen seemed to shake like crazy everytime the laptop is touched or everytime he put his arms on the table. i think if the hinges could be more firm then i would probably buy it immediately, but i'm not sure it's worth close to $600 for an m3x4G
I own the C302, it's older sibling. The screen does have a bit of wobble to it, as this appears to as well, but in practice, it isn't disturbing or worse than most other laptops. The m3 in this money benches out similarly to 5th gen Core i5; even the older m3 in mine performs (with ChromeOS) like an i5 does in a Windows laptop. If this is as good as the c302 is, I'd spend $500 on it (when it goes on sale) in a heartbeat.
@@TheThirdDictor i tried the c302, to be honest i loved it although the screen wobble was noticeable to me when i was in meetings. i ended up returning the c302 because the screen size was just too small. i'm going to wait out for the 8G and then give the c434 a shot
When will this device support Android apps ?
yes this will support most apps from the google play store
I think in terms of specs the HP 360 14 is much better. In terms of looks yeah this looks nicer. The HP is more future proof.
You're right as far as internals go but I returned the HP as the hinge was getting warped from rotating the screen. Build was OK but not great. The C434 or Dell Inspiron 14 will probably be more robust devices than the X360. And therefore arguably more future proof. But, it might be I just got a 🍋!!!
My only question is. Can I download and play The Sims in this laptop?
Krzysztof Czajka That’s just broke my heart. I have been waiting for a laptop for a year now and when my mom finally got me one, I was so excited about downloading the sims again like the one I had in my previous Dell laptop. Its nice to play when you have long hours break in class.
But my other question is, are all this Asus Flips (that flips 360 degrees) can’t run The Sims? What are the Asus laptops that you can use to download sims?
THANKS BTW FOR THE CLEAR AND PRECISE INFORMATION! 💕💕💕
So much hype about Chromebooks. Mine doesn't do playstore, and has to be plugged in all the time. I admit it's what, six or more years old! All these ads have me so confused. I'll use what I have until it dies.
Move that paining behind you. Your environment is styled really nicely, but that painting is centered on your head which is distracting. If it was to the side you could see it and your head would pop off the background.
Chad Hobbs just calm down please Chad. Eat some pringles please Chad. Salt and vinegar flavour please Chad.
Expensive.
love the way you give a quick spec an The price ( which is real , as oppose to many who act like their a bunch of communists)… anyway great job on that , gives Context to everything from there on.. cheers Allan
No hdmi?
It's too thin.
I got the C302 in December 2018, it looks like aluminium but it's really just plastic, mine has scrapes and scratches now and you can see the white plastic.
It's not ALUMINIUM and neither is the C434
can we download torrents in chromebook???
if there is an android torrents app? if so - yes
@@matthews4159 if right so even ur not sure

what chromebook needs an i7?
watch ; (Chrome Dev Summit 2018) th-cam.com/video/QTmAtXoPkgw/w-d-xo.html
I personally can not understand why any normal chromebook user would need a i7 or even a i5
Where's the i5/i7? @asus
Those models will be coming out in the next few months.
The fact that this model has an Auto Update Expiration of June 2024 diminishes the value significantly. I would expect higher end models coming out now to EOL in 2025. It could eliminate this model from consideration for us.
2019 20 21 22 23 24 = 5 years support,, 5 years is quite along time
