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...
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.
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!
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.
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.
@@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 ...
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Eh.. having a silver keys with a white backlight keyboard is the dumbest idea Asus has. I don't know why they keep doing it. Can someone explain to them the concept of contrast. It's like they turned their brains off.
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]).
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.
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!

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.
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.
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
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.

what do you do after the expiration date of 5-6 years .. if they do that i think we are paying to much for a chrome book ..NOT unless these companies . become like car dealer ship and you can return a old one for a discount for a new one .. They can tear these apart and use the metal from it . * there is to much e waste*! i know these companies want money but they need to help clean up there messes too
What didn't you like about it in particular? I go through most of the top Chromebooks so I could offer a comparison in terms of either design or functionality.
@@sqsp oh wow. Thanks for the interest. it's hard to describe. I'd like a laptop to look and feel like something that would fit well inside your home. I'd like it to not look like a tool and more like an extension of furniture. That's what makes the pixel book go so nice. It's soft to the touch, it has rounded corners, and the not pink color option goes well with a lot of home colors. It looks like it belongs in your home and not in some 1980s sifi movie.
@@zackarystewart9214 The Pixelbook Go is a lot nicer-looking than people give it credit for. The tech world is obsessed with thin bezels at the moment, but Google devices tend to be thoughtfully designed as well as functional. I'm not partial to either since they are such different devices, so features would make the difference in my purchasing decision. That said, I do understand your perspective; the Pixelbook Go's branding is less pronounced (on the outer shell, that is), it offers more subtle tones, it's thinner/lighter, and usability is likely superior to the C434 with its one-finger lift, better keyboard/trackpad (not to mention speakers/webcam as well as the display on the 4K model), etc.
I believe you are wrong about this chromebook not allowing the google playstore because I have seen in several other reviews and presentations that it does allow the google playstore
I like this reviewer. But I feel he should expand his vocabulary. Repeating really really all the time doesn't reflect a good choice of words. He could use (e.g. great, excellent, fantastic, amazing, outstanding, satisfying) rather than this really really thing he's using. Don't you think that I really really have a point?
I agree. I still struggle to see what the benefit would be to buy a Chromebook above $500 instead of a Windows 10 laptop. Maybe when Windows 10 is able to be dual booted on Chromebooks soon it'll be worth.
@@BLNKT. From my extensive research the new breed of midrange Chromebooks have better build quality, screens and keyboards than their similarly priced windows counterparts. For instance I have been looking at the Acer Swift 3 Vs Dell Chromebook Inspiron 14. The Dells screen is brighter 320nits Vs 220(or thereabouts) on Acer. Colour accuracy is also much superior on the Chromebook which is important for my work. Overall build quality will be more premium on Dell too.bI don't need to run any specialised specific software and don't game. I don't need the complexity that Windows offers. Also, the Chrome browser will be much quicker on a Chromebook with say an i3 processor. Why should I buy an inferior Windows laptop? And if someone wants a Chromebook because they like the simplicity, then why shouldnt they have the choice to pay more for a better screen and build quality?
@@TomUK7 That makes sense. I do love the build quality and size (or lack of size) that some of these higher priced Chromebooks seem to have. I've been watching a lot of reviews for them to see if I could make them work for my needs. I just want a fairly priced well built laptop with a decent processor and no excess things like an expensive graphics card so Chromebooks fell into my radar. But I just can't justify spending it myself since I do require specific software that Chromebooks won't be able to run. If they ever do decide to get windows 10 working on these I will snatch one up in a hurry.
@@BLNKT., I have Linux (Xubuntu) install on my ASUS Chomebook C523. It works great with Chome OS. You can switch back and forth between Chome OS or Xubuntu.
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 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.
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.

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
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!
Do you guys think it’s good for gaming??? I NEED UR OPINIONS😂
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.
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

Expensive.
what do you do after the expiration date of 5-6 years .. if they do that i think we are paying to much for a chrome book ..NOT unless these companies . become like car dealer ship and you can return a old one for a discount for a new one .. They can tear these apart and use the metal from it . * there is to much e waste*! i know these companies want money but they need to help clean up there messes too
can we download torrents in chromebook???
if there is an android torrents app? if so - yes
@@matthews4159 if right so even ur not sure

"For Acer" 1:55
I noticed it too lol
Still not the pixelbook go. Asus needs to hire industrial designers so things stop looking so engineery and more like something I want in my life
What didn't you like about it in particular? I go through most of the top Chromebooks so I could offer a comparison in terms of either design or functionality.
@@sqsp oh wow. Thanks for the interest. it's hard to describe. I'd like a laptop to look and feel like something that would fit well inside your home. I'd like it to not look like a tool and more like an extension of furniture. That's what makes the pixel book go so nice. It's soft to the touch, it has rounded corners, and the not pink color option goes well with a lot of home colors. It looks like it belongs in your home and not in some 1980s sifi movie.
@@zackarystewart9214 The Pixelbook Go is a lot nicer-looking than people give it credit for. The tech world is obsessed with thin bezels at the moment, but Google devices tend to be thoughtfully designed as well as functional. I'm not partial to either since they are such different devices, so features would make the difference in my purchasing decision. That said, I do understand your perspective; the Pixelbook Go's branding is less pronounced (on the outer shell, that is), it offers more subtle tones, it's thinner/lighter, and usability is likely superior to the C434 with its one-finger lift, better keyboard/trackpad (not to mention speakers/webcam as well as the display on the 4K model), etc.
pls tell me ur intro plss
this laptop does not allow playstore dont buy
I believe you are wrong about this chromebook not allowing the google playstore because I have seen in several other reviews and presentations that it does allow the google playstore
you losing your voice
Theres more time for your face than the product. Bad angles for the product at least your face is the center of the screen. What the ......
what is wrong with you people, chromebooks are not real computers
be quiet there laptops and laptops r technically a computer
I like this reviewer. But I feel he should expand his vocabulary. Repeating really really all the time doesn't reflect a good choice of words. He could use (e.g. great, excellent, fantastic, amazing, outstanding, satisfying) rather than this really really thing he's using.
Don't you think that I really really have a point?
I believe there are many think laptop which cost less than $569.99. Even use windows 10 and SSD.
I agree. I still struggle to see what the benefit would be to buy a Chromebook above $500 instead of a Windows 10 laptop. Maybe when Windows 10 is able to be dual booted on Chromebooks soon it'll be worth.
@@BLNKT. From my extensive research the new breed of midrange Chromebooks have better build quality, screens and keyboards than their similarly priced windows counterparts. For instance I have been looking at the Acer Swift 3 Vs Dell Chromebook Inspiron 14. The Dells screen is brighter 320nits Vs 220(or thereabouts) on Acer. Colour accuracy is also much superior on the Chromebook which is important for my work. Overall build quality will be more premium on Dell too.bI don't need to run any specialised specific software and don't game. I don't need the complexity that Windows offers. Also, the Chrome browser will be much quicker on a Chromebook with say an i3 processor. Why should I buy an inferior Windows laptop? And if someone wants a Chromebook because they like the simplicity, then why shouldnt they have the choice to pay more for a better screen and build quality?
@@TomUK7 That makes sense. I do love the build quality and size (or lack of size) that some of these higher priced Chromebooks seem to have. I've been watching a lot of reviews for them to see if I could make them work for my needs.
I just want a fairly priced well built laptop with a decent processor and no excess things like an expensive graphics card so Chromebooks fell into my radar. But I just can't justify spending it myself since I do require specific software that Chromebooks won't be able to run.
If they ever do decide to get windows 10 working on these I will snatch one up in a hurry.
@@BLNKT., I have Linux (Xubuntu) install on my ASUS Chomebook C523. It works great with Chome OS. You can switch back and forth between Chome OS or Xubuntu.
I was gonna return my Lenovo 15" for this but looking at the price and specs the Lenovo seems like a better option
How much does it cost
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.
have to give it a thumbs down, did not show if it can flip the screen all the way.
So which device has the best keyboard and trackpad: this or the Pixelbook?
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!
How much does it cost
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.
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.
Sweet, waiting eagerly for this review
i have issues with the keyboard on my c302, could you go in depth with the keyboard on the full review for this model?
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 use twitch and discord on this chromebook
Lenovo C630 master race
Thanks for the great vid
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
can you please do a comparison between the Asus flip C434 Vs Google pixelbook please
Nothing really improved over the C302 !! Sorry !!
