Even though we had a quick hands-on time with the brand-new ASUS Chromebook Vibe CX34 Flip (let’s go with Vibe CX34 from here on out) at CES 2023 in Las Vegas, those impressions can be misleading. Between the noise, the crowds, and basic exhaustion, it is easy to misread a new device. And it can happen on either side of the coin, too.
In the case of something like the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook in 2020, I was absolutely enamored with that device while out at CES 2020. Once it arrived, the sheen wore off and all the shortcomings of that ambitious Chromebook became quickly apparent. Fortunately, the case is just the opposite with the ASUS Vibe CX34, leaving me even more impressed with this Chromebook now that it is here in the office than I was at CES.

I’m not a gamer, but this looks very nice. I’m anxiously awaiting your opportunity to unbox the Dragonfly Pro (and to learn the cost). Thank you Chrome Unboxed for your thorough coverage of the latest Chromebooks. ~Randy
This seriously is the first non 3:2 that I'm excited about. 2 reasons. I absolutely love the look of it. It doesn't look like some off the shelf macbook clone. The accents and highlights are awesome. Reason 2: This isn't gonna be a runaway hit, so that means in a few months with patience, you'll probably start to pick this up around $500.
I just can't wait to hear all the full details about the screen. Does it measure up? That's the only thing that has me not putting it on my must buy list right now. Also this year I said last year this time that I was gonna put the dragonfly on my Christmas wish list. I pulled that back and told my wife not to get me it. I was too upset about the demise of Stadia and didn't want to send anymore money Google way. This though, I really like the first looks. If Steam comes to this full on this year, insta buy!
Watching this unboxing on my CX34. Bought it from Amazon.
How is it so far
Still waiting on a decent sale for this Chromebook. I would be happy to pay 500-600 for it but it's to close to the Dragonfly to purchase at full price. If you are going to pay 800+ you might as well go all the way for the best Chromebook available.
I'm not a heavy gamer, but love the Chrome OS. I've had the Samsung Pro since 18 and it's still really good, but coming up on End of Use. This looks like a good replacement for me.
Hello from India...keep up the good work!!
One thing I miss in most Chromebook reviews, yours or others, is:
1. telling if a higher spec machine is available in that product line.
2. Telling if Linux is available on that machine.
3. If Windows 10/11 can be run on the machine via Parallels.
4. If all (Chrome, Linux & Parallels Windows 10) would run comfortably on the machine.
5. If Ram & SSD can be expanded.
6. If Camera & Audio Jack & Camera/Audio privacy switch is there.
7. Full Tech specs for those users whoay need to convert their Chromebooks to Linux or Windows machines later...what Graphics & other hardware.
And I want to know this regardless it's going to be used in Chrome mode initially because when it's old, I or other tech users will get it, when the user gets a newer machine.
Think this demand is excessive? Well, I know at least 7 people who think this way & what's the point, if at the end of a review one can say...I need some more information!! Most time one does not & the purchase decision goes elsewhere!!
My 16/512 is arriving Thursday and I'm very excited about it. I use my Chromebooks at work exclusively (and have a "real" gaming computer at home), so they're task oriented first, and fun second (my job is entirely on or entirely off, so there's downtime). I already have Acer 516GE, which I love, but have some issues with. I didn't realize how much I used the touchscreen until I couldn't, it's too big for me to be able to conveniently carry around (because I move around a lot), and, despite it being high quality, it feels a little flimsy after coming off a Pixelbook. As far as gaming, I installed Steam and had some success running the kind of games I usually play (MMOs, GTA), but because the graphics memory and system memory was shared, some games would crash when the system ran out of memory. I feel like the 16gb will help a lot with that. On paper, this Asus seems like it'll check off a lot of boxes for me and I'm super excited to get my hands on it.
I also have the Acer 516 GE and love it. I don't game on it but love it as my daily driver. I hate grey backlit keys like the Asus has CX34. My Microsoft Surface laptop has grey backlit keys and in the light you have to turn off. I also don't have the need for touch screen nor a pen. The Acer 516 GE is currently $449 at Best Buy.
What country you from??? I can’t even find the price in Canada.
@@angelopebs I'm in the US. I ordered mine directly from the ASUS website. I just check Canada's, but it seems like they're not for sale there yet :/
how you liking it?
@@SpinneretteAlex I like it a lot. The build quality is great (I was replacing a Pixelbook) and it runs wonderfully. As far as gaming, most older games run well. GTA probably runs reasonably well (probably 30-40fps), and some MMOs work very well (SWTOR) especially. FFXIV did a little better than GTA. It took me a while, but I finally figured out the whole point of Steam on Chrome. It works like this: you have your "home" gaming PC with all your games installed (you can also add non-Steam games to your library, which is important). So you leave your home computer on, then activate Steam on your Chromebook. When you are away, you can stream any game in your Steam library (even non-Steam games) to your Chromebook. You can tell it's still in beta, but it works surprisingly well. I've even been able to stream just using my phone's data. They haven't done a good job explaining that streaming this way is the point, but it makes sense when you play it this way.
The whole pushing the Chromebook for cloud gaming is ridiculous when you consider Google discontinued Stadia last month.
Not if there are other suitable cloud based gaming platforms....
@@TaylorABell Nah I agree, more cloud gaming platforms is great but Google have control of the Chromebook platform and had Stadia ready made to push until they decided to kill it.
@@MarvMavro stadia was honestly the best in terms of how they handled the compression and connection. I'd argue the model was the best too albeit uncertain regarding sustainability. I was the only cloud service where you could buy games and stop. Where it fell really flat was the game selection which is one of the biggest factors. Such a shame. Despite the hate it got, it really served me well and refunded ALL the games I bought. Worth it. I already have game pass because of Xbox but if I didn't I'd def lean towards GeForce now because of the seamless mouse and keyboard support.
@@angelopebs mate, I'm still salty as fuck. Stadia was brilliant but like you said, let down by game selection. Shame that Chromebooks are being pushed by Google to advertise how good they are for cloud gaming. The absolute irony.
I mean I don't have any problem with them offering I refresh rate screens or RGB etc.... But the timing is pretty hilarious. Sure a lot of these products were in development long before stadia kicked the bucket.
But there's nothing inherently wrong with having a higher fresh rate display or RGB keyboard. I don't do any cloud gaming really, But those features would be compelling for regular use cases as well.
Looks pretty slick, a good review, how is the twitch reaction when playing games like Apex Legends? One complaint possible might be the thicker chin bezel
When will ASUS send you their new Chromebook CM14 to review? That's the kind of every-day CB I am in the market for.
Thanks for the video (and the suggestion on the Penoval...picked one up thanks to your recommendation). Any word on when the i7 variant of this might be available. I notice they mention it on the Asus site but I cannot configure a unit with that version of the processor.
When is the review coming???
I just can’t get behind paying a fee to play games I’ve already bought and then on top of that having to wait in a queue to play AND having a time limit 😂. Keep your Chromebook’s! Plus for the price of this thing you can get a really good gaming pc.
Wish I can afford one...
Has Google updated ChromeOS yet to allow for refresh rate? Is it even on the map for a future update?
Thank You.
.
Awww man. I wish the penoval pen had a tail eraser. That's a bummer.
Review coming?
Very nice!
the video starts at 5:25
ty my saviour
Which one should I purchase asus cx34 or HP x370
not a gamer... but this is the laptop I need for replacing my pixelbook. Full HD its enough.. I have to config my pixelbook to a lower resolution, 1714 x 1143 ( 70% of 2400x1600 )... because everything looks too tiny. The pen is a nice plus because sometimes I have to draw when sharing my screen to explain things better. And the 16GB of RAM it's really necessary because sometimes I have to code... and opening dev environment VS Code, mysql and chrome console consumes a lot of RAM. ( and having a 16:10 screen its perfect for coding )...
Looks nice
What's the best Chromebook to use for mainly streaming videos?
I think for 2023 is this one. Good screen, lots of ram and a nice processor. This is perfect for multitasking and using virtual desktops with multiple windows.
@@e7234 - Thanks!
hello do you think it is possible to install gentoo linux on an asus chromebit?
Cool Laptop 👍
What is the aue of this device?
Why would someone get this rather than a Windows laptop?
Looks like a very nice Chromebook I might buy some as gifts, would have liked to see more about the chromebook hands on performance and features, video was mostly out of focus on the ASUS and in focus on Robby man handling the ASUS or just talking about it instead, otherwise a good video, thanks again :-) By the way I got the deal on the Penoval pen with the whooping $2 off discount lol, anyway I have not had time to try it yet on my Dragonfly, but looking forward to it.
Waiting on review, especially is the battery life all day? I need a road warrior device!
Need advice. Should I upgrade from ASUS Chromebook Flip CX5400 with i7 to this one when the i7 version will be available?
😃👍🏻👊🏻
I bought and liked this device, but I find myself disappointed by the speaker volume, but most importantly the inconsistent performance of the stylus and the poor battery life.
I'm pretty sure that any gaming laptop, even if its a Chromebook or not is never going to be built for battery life
can you explain more? im considering this. poor battery doing what? just browsing or gaming. and are the speakers super quiet?
@@SpinneretteAlex yeah, just browsing. It runs down much quicker than every other chromebook I've used. It's really fast though.
The speakers are too quiet, but not world changing. Just annoying sometimes. Definitely should be fixed for next generation.
Also, I will say that the garaged stylus under performs though. That was my biggest disappointment. I might end up getting the other stylus everyone recommends.
It's also a little heavy.
Overall, i don't regret my purchase, but I think it's not all I hoped for.
@@journeyman171 darn the battery life might stop me for getting one then as I use mine for school and work. Figured it would be decent since its a 1200p screen.
I have the last gen Dragonfly right now and it needs to be repaired or something. It starts overheating and the battery life has gotten worse but the screen is beautiful.
@@SpinneretteAlex I'd get other people's feedback. I haven't done a timed comparison or anything. I just keep finding myself being like "already?"
Gamestreaming on a chromebook could work well, provided the parent/user can set up local och remote Gamestreaming.
Good Cromebooks are overpriced where I live, this will probably cost as much as a Leonovo Windows machine with 16Gb ram 12 gen i7 and a 120 mhz screen. (1100-1300 Usd)
The Acer 516 GE costed 1200 Usd but they stopped selling it, i do not know why...
I find they tended depreciate faster though. I bet you're in a year you could probably get this for like 50 or 60 cents on the dollar, Windows laptops don't depreciate quite as fast.
But then there's the downside. Windows. Why would I want to buy an unusable device regardless of the processor and RAM?
In which region are they this expensive?
Why would anyone drop that much on a Chromebook?
Can you make a dragon fly pro and aesus vibe comparison video
Gaming on a chromebook?✋😭💀
Game streaming isn't worth it. For over 1000$ you can get a windows device, and guess what, it can stream games, too. And you can install games and play them. All this marketing for streaming games to justify high chromebook prices is a joke. I like chromebooks, but I think they are moving into the wrong direction now. We don't need another expensive microsoft or apple type of brand. They are perfect for people who are looking for a fast web brwosing/ media consuming/ text editing device for a low price with features like a touchscreen and a portable design. For 700$ plus I will buy a windows notebook for sure.
And 80$ for the dongle...how can you even try to talk positive about it. Be honest... There is no way asus or you can justify that price.
I think Chrome unboxed has become worse than what I used to called Macidiot and Steve Jobs RDF (Reality Distortion Field). But looking at the latest ARM based Macs, I am thoroughly impressed by what they have done in Perf+Power scenario. But they still show their "Apple" face by charging an arm and a leg for upgrades.
You can get el-cheapo gaming notebooks like Acer Nitro, HP Victus with a full fledged OS, dedicated graphics card with RAM with better specs for "cheaper" price with a "Microsoft tax" than a supposed "Free OS" from Google that still depends on the cloud.
I introduced my family to Chromebooks and Chrome OS and till date I have only purchased Refurbished Chromebooks which were either Celeron or Pentium with 4GB RAM and 32/64 G storage. The highest I paid was 240$ + Taxes. My kids despite having school issued Win10 laptops, still like to do their homework in the chromebooks and use them only during school and cases where homework that involve Flash/other things that Chromebooks struggle with. So I am not a Chrome OS/chromebook hater.
But it is ridiculous that these OEMs charge this much for a glorified web OS and shameful that CB is promoting it.
There is no chromebook worth > 600... PERIOD!...
Update:- Look at the below. Apple seem to be saints...

Chromebooks are in steep decline with the market saturated, and no sign that people are staying when upgrading. So marketing push to sell game streaming as the lack of apps can be mitigated. Android apps did not really work, and Linux is niche. They have tried all these but have yet to succeed. With Googe releasing a Pixel Tablet, it may be that Google has realised that Chrome has reached its peak.
Sales of Chromebooks dropped considerably this year.
Much as I like Chromebook, I still cannot justify anything over $500.
I just looked at Amazon and they are over $700, that is just insane.
"its not brought to us by penoval"......you dont work for them its brought to us by you but they sponsored it........accuracy is very important when you review electronics. Plus you couldn't even take the time during your penoval bit to tell us which one works on the chromebook in your review......."works on most chromebooks" is a bit vague to then drop 60 - 100 on a stylus.
Just what I want...a Stadia themed Chromebook to look at while I'm waiting in a gfn queue, just to play for an hour before they kick me.
🖕🏻@Google
It's been over two months since this video posted. Is there a full review for this computer?
i got this thing and like it... I wanted the high refresh rate and high refresh rate out to my ultra wide monitor. I wonder if I made a mistake, because it sounds like this wont get chromeOS plus??
2:55 😢I would say it’s actually quite large even above average
The Asus Flip chargers have always been 45W at least since the C302.
Love the aesthetic of the accent colors in the keyboard and other parts together with the stadia controller. Thumbnail on point.
Hope they make a black or dark grey version
the idea of a gaming chromebook is so stupid. If you're spending the money to get an i7 CHROMEBOOK, why not just spend a little more and get an actual laptop???
Honestly apple needs to say BYE BYE to mac os and head on over to google chrome are some sorta of partnership
Pretty neat device! I absolutely LOVE my pixelbook go. I really wish Google would release another
fast forward to 6mins, you're welcome 🥱
