There's no doubt that as we enter 2022, there are a ton of great Chromebook options out there to choose from. With 10th, 11th, and 12th-gen Intel-powered options all being pretty great, more capable ARM-powered devices already in the mix with more on the way, it feels like there's a Chromebook out there for everyone at this point. But in the middle of all the Chromebooks that are available and those that are on the way, there's still a choice to be made if you're looking to buy a device right now. For me, that choice has become clear and I'd like to share a bunch of reasons why the ASUS Chromebook Flip CX5400 has become my everyday carry.

This guy not just ditched Mac, but PC as well. He is a legend. Making Chrome his primary device, this guy is a Legend. Respect 👍
I ditched Windows for Chromebook!
Did the same suits all my needs
@@Bobcantbuildit But if you need Microsoft office, how does chromebook fare.
i use Google document or another service that do the same
@@Bobcantbuildit That's unfortunately won't fit for everyone. I wished chromebook allowed few windows apps
I like the new review format. You're not just rattling off notes from the spec sheet, but delving more into the user experience of Chromebook and Chrome OS. I look forward to more of these types of videos in the future. :)
Your channel made we want to get a chromebook and so I turned my surface laptop go into one and I love it. What a great os for a mobile device.
I got a chrome book for work. Hated it at first. But this channel has helped me see the beauty, simplicity, and cohesiveness the chromebook have. I think I’ve converted.
And this is what i bought based on your recommendation. My first chromebook. Thanks all the way from the UK
How have you liked it ?
Thank you for explaining your criteria. It's helpful.
Another great video!
How I would like to give a 1k thumbs up and 5k subscriptions...
This amazing content doesn't have what it deserves yet... hopefully thanks to your efforts more people will know the wonders of chromebooks and chrome OS. Thanks guys!
Thanks for the review! I'm currently using a CX5500 and I love it. After watching your video I went to Google and was shocked to see that the CX5400 is sold for 1300 EUR here in Germany :( Not only do we have a very limited choice, but we also have to pay probably the highest prices worldwide for these great devices.
Thanks for the always great videos. Flip CX5400 might be what is in your bag, but for most users or those looking IMO it is the Acer Spin 713 w/i5 version especially at its current price at Best Buy this week which I picked it up at $499!!! Yep, read that correctly. The Acer Spin 713 with its Intel i5 chip, 256 ssd, 8 gb ram and wonderful screen is now $499. Jus try not to fixate on the poor speakers. I am sure the Flip a bit more than that and those spec's offer nothing short of an 100% fantastic Chromebook experience.
I’m looking for a chromebook right now and think this is the one. I watched your previous review and saw you were also a golfer - showing the “effortless golf swing” vid on screen - had to laugh when I got to this video and you explained why you’re putting this one “in the bag” 😂
Still gonna hold onto my base model Pixelbook Go. Love the thin-and-light, fanless design of my PBG. Keyboard is silent and trackpad is still smooth,And I still get great battery life at 9hrs-11hrs depending on what I’m doing at over 300+ battery cycles already.
Same
I love their model reviews. I had an ASUS c302, after their review and have last yr upgraded to the ASUS C434, again after their review.
I have the C434 debating if I should upgrade to the CX5400.
@@lamarsmith5310 I acquire new models like 1 year late. So I scored my c434 in april 2021. By that time it had dropped 250 euro's in price. Got it for just under 500, and this is 8GB, 64G SSD, touchsceen, backlit keyboad the works. I AM going to upgrade to the c5400, but say in 14mts?
I'm still using my Lenovo c630 chromebook! This looks like a good one!
Really great device, seems to tick all the boxes and looks good while doing it. I'm happy with my Dell Inspiron 2-in-1 chromebook, but I'll keep an eye for whatever the updated model is in a few years when this device bites the dust.
I love my chromebook flip 302. I ran linux from a usb boot to ram with gnome shell for the first 2 years.
You mentioned several times that it's powerful. Were you able to benchmark it?
Kevin Tofel noted that the same chip in the cm3 is slower than an 11th gen i3 with a fan. I'm hoping that this has a more robust cooling solution. From a design perspective, this is my perfect laptop. But if the performance is equivalent to a low-end mid-range Chromebook, I'll settle for a spin 713 or CX-9
I love chromebook especially the Acer 713 it's a very fast device and a very well made mat finish
Still the best Chromebook out in my opinion
This looks really promising. I just hope it's better then the Flip C434. I have been very disappointed with it, and I've only had it 1yr. At first it was stellar, IE. lightning fast and just a looker. But then the feet started falling off, and most of the primary keys the paint and letter indicators have worn off and even the paint where the hands rest started peeling off about 3 months in. I just really hope they have improved the FLIP because it's a great machine, just seems like it was built with VERY cheap materials for the chassis. Great review as always. This is my go-to channel for ALL things Chromebook.
Robby, I thought you were gonna tell us about heat! How hot does this fanless chromebook run? Have you noticed any throttling? Love the channel, buddy. Respect.
No heating issues for me so far :-)
I'm really surprised Robbie coming off of using the Acer 713 and the 3:2 going back to a 16x9...there's no way I can go back after my Acer 713. I think he just got tired of the speakers on the 713 lol. The camera shade is a plus though but you can buy a sticker one off Amazon for a few cents.
Asus makes great products for more than fair prices. I have been using the Pixelbook Go; the speakers have spoiled me.
I see a Rocketbook towel on top of the orange book! Are we going to get a review of that?
Saw you on Phils channel.
You should try a second channel with an MTB focus? I would watch.
I've got a similar one, Acer C423A. It's come with 4 GB Ram & 64 GB storage without a stylus. Less features but gets my work done.
@Pooka Stuff Chromebooks only come with Google & Android Software. Google Docs, Chrome & TH-cam are the main apps I use. It works like an Android phone where you need to give your Google Name & Password.
I love your channel. What about the Asus C424MA-DH48F?
Can you please also talk about the price
Looks a great machine and I would like a new Chromebook but it's being sold for €1000 here. 😳 In 2015 I bought a Toshiba Chromebook 2 for €280. €1k is Macbook territory.
i love the fact that he uses other chromebooks as a throne for the Asus
Can't believe you left out the price.
I was wonder what you think would be a good chromebook to buy. I'm looking to run OBS. I would like it to flip so I can use it like a tablet. Thank you
Thanks for all the great reviews. Question I just bought the same CX Asus your reviewing. I love it but the keyboard is almost not visible when in a well lite room. How can I fix this ?
Help I want to keep it but can’t deal with a simi invisible keyboard.
Can you please make a video on the wallpapers available for Chromebook please.
What app are you using the stylus with?
One of these arrived yesterday, I am impressed but I didn't realise it would have trouble running Microsoft Edge and Mozilla.
If I was to send it back, how much do you think I would have to pay for a Windows laptop with the same or similar level of performance?
Thanks, nice review BTW.
When and where can I buy one?! It was released in December 2023, I've been looking out for it since then with no luck.
acer spin 713 has brighter screen (400+ nits) and similar specs. the 713 also has more ports and is significantly cheaper. it also is heavier than the spin 713. Why replace the 713 as your chromebook always in your bag? you like dimmer screens, heavier laptops and dongles?
How's the battery life? Did I miss that in the video?
This looks like my Pixelbook from over three years ago. Not really moving the game on so I worry that the 47% fall in Chromebook sales in Q4 may continue. I see no reason to upgrade.
Nice Chromebook, but I'll happily keep my red Samsung Galaxy Chromebook thank you. I know the battery life sucks, but I never use it longer than 2 hours at a time on battery anyway (oh, and that display...).
Just out of curiosity…what rucksack do you have? Thanks!
I got a HP chromebook x360 14c ( i3, 128gb, 8gb ram) . The laptop is amazing great screen, keyboard is awesome, Performance is really good and I am doing my development on the linux VM that ships now with chromebooks. Battery life is almost 10 hrs. This is an awesome buy got mine for $450
hows the sound/speakers?
@@theopeningset they are fine for netflix /youtube / conference calls ... Not that loud that you can party 🎉
@@theopeningset In my experience the speakers are very good, but the Acer Spin is $499 and for $50 more than the HP x360 14 c on sale for $450 the Acer is pretty impressive except for the speakers and a little fan noise compared to the HP. I just couldn't resist switching the HP as I can just plug in some desk speakers into it.
I have the same exact specced CX5400.. It doesn't get hot, it runs super fast, it gets great battery life. I'm with Robby here, it's my favorite Chromebook so far.. The downside is that it's expensive but the performance is on another level compared to the Pixelbook Go.. While getting very close to the same battery life. Unfortunately the speakers aren't great, but loud and serviceable but like Robby said, better than most Chromebook speakers. The only things on my wish list are 16:10 and better speakers here.. Perhaps next generation.
What's the battery life like?? In terms of hours?
@@SamuelObafemi I'm getting around 10 to 12ish hours.
@@Jay_Pride thank you very much for this
Where is the new chromebook news man .I need more
I'm sorry but did you mention battery life? I may have missed it.
Hello, Where can one buy the i5 model. I seem to be having difficulty finding this particular model.
How many Chromebooks are out there at the moment with ARM APU?
Where's your intro music coming from?
What are your typical usages of a chromebook? Aside from media consumption?
I use it for media consumption, Google docs, Google Drive and photos, a little bit of gaming, I have used it to make youtube videos .Zoom meetings, I plan to experiment and edit longer videos. I have the Hp chromebook X2 12.3 inch version 1st gen.
@@curbsidetech what video editor you use?
Can you use the penup app in chromebook?
Hmmmm it would be perfect if in that laptop also an ARM cpu like x86 (intel)/ARM (Mediatek) I don't even immagine what software of the computer would.d even think.
Why aren't there more 3:2 or at least 16:10 chromebooks? For productivity 16:9 doesn't make sense and just eats up space. I had to get a surface laptop go and install Chrome OS on it because there simply aren't any alternatives besides the HP 12b which I had to RMA 3 times. Acer Spin 713 is great, but for school too big and heavy. Why is that? Or am I missing any secret devices?
Dragonfly Elite Chromebook should appear in April and will be 3:2. We almost got a pair of these (the ASUS 5400), but my wife and I decided we wouldn't use them heavily until around April, so we are holding off for the HP Dragonfly. Or at least their review. If they misstep, we might wind up with 5400s.
I wouldn’t be surprised if 16:9 displays were cheaper to make in bulk.
I mean, Apple used to sell $900 macbooks that had a 1366x768p display (7 to ten years ago, I know).
@@EvanEdwards the dragonfly is probably insanely good, but also pretty expensive. When you compare it to similar windows devices the price is fine tho. Most annoying thing tho is the fact that it hasn't been released yet. I need a laptop for my senior year of HS and it's almost over.
I bought the i3 version today
It sounds perfect, so why is it never on the top list. Ie Flex 5i Spin 713 and GO
Can you run windows 11 on this chrome book and does it have Bluetooth so you can use AirPods as well? Great video but these are the questions I had after watching your video. I am new to chrome books so wanted to know to figure out which one to buy. I have to update my laptop so wondering to go to a Chromebook or just a new laptop. My laptop is 7 years old now so getting something new will be soon. what is the life expectancy of a Chrome book?
You won't be able to run a windows environment out of the box on a chromebook. However, if you want to run a virtual windows desktop, you can (I do for work on my chromebook). However I would recommend you get at least 8gb of ram for that. As for life expectancy I believe that Google promise a minimum number of years OS support for new chromebook. I think at least 5 years.
@@feline-fox thank you for your help.
I thought the lenovo Duet 5 was your everyday carry 🤔
is the track oad better than the pixelbook go's?
Somebody help, do i get this, the Acer Spin 513, a Geoflex 230, and why does your selection win?
I have a question my lenovo duet allows me to delete apps but the storage is still being taken up from them please help
Is the price really worth it?.
How is this for cloud gaming?
I wonder how it would run LINUX?
Somebody please HELP. My Asus cx5400 has an upper left screen pop out search button menu (ctrl, alt, shift, search) that is driving me crazy. I don't know what its for or how to disable it.
I found out the answer. I had "sticky keys" enabled but don't have a clue how I enabled it.
An onboard pen but no fingerprint reader?
my c13 yoga chromebook is pretty similar, at a reduced price...
Great video. I'll stick with my galaxy chromebook 2.
did your battery die from typing this tho
When Chromebooks get Tensor and 120hz , I'll be back.
God bless y’all! Jesus loves everyone!
What work can you do with a chromebook other than generic office apps or spreadsheets? I feel like chromebooks are much more for casual work and light browsing.
Is this Asus superior to the Acer 713 that you used to like ?
You say USB-C ports on both sides, but elsewhere, I read they are Thunderbolt 4 ports. There is a difference. Which in fact is it?
Need it in India
i cant believe this awesome ch only have 219k subs.....cmon guys subs is free....
We don't get these, where I live. Only cheap and underpowered ones.
The design would be nice if it wasn't for the hideous color scheme. We need more all matte black chromebooks like the Pixelbook Go. Everything else on this Chromebook is amazing.
They need to get away from 16:9. Also these aluminum bodies get beat up really badly from our teachers
I want one Now… 😅 jaja
Failed to buy it from Bangladesh 😭
Raise your hand if you own the same Target hoodie ✋🤣
Looks like a nice device but I cant justify spending over 400 on a chromebook.
Fix that Rubik's cube.
But give me one reason i shouldn't just buy it and install linux
With Google dropping Chrome and Google specific hardware where does that leave Google as a company going forward, and what if they drip Chrome OS?
Asus makes nice chromebooks, but unfortunately I would never buy one in Canada because they all ship with the stupid French/English bilingual keyboard. I'll stick with my Pixelbook Go.
中国新年快乐！Happy Chinese New Year 🧧!
lol! A chromebook with specs that would make a GREAT windows mid-tier laptop (even approaching an upper tier unit with that 16 gigs of RAM). Why? Do we need all that POWER in a chromebook? Isn't the entire point of a chromebook to come in UNDER the price of a Windows laptop and not need to be pumped up by a super fast CPU and extra RAM?
My Lenovo laptop has specs similar to this unit and frankly, I DO NOT need them in my lower tier Acer chromebook which performs famously at less than half the cost of the Windows machine.
Hello, in my case this RAM is important because I do emulation with KVM. But in Europe it is clear that it is a lot expensive for a Chromebook because the market penetration is not the same as in the US.
my acer 1080 has been garbage since day one. like comparing a comic book to a dictionary,
Dear Sir I watch your video daily .please please give me one chromebook my finanancial condition is so poor .I also promise you I pay your chromebook money step by step Installment. I m a student I need a laptop for coding .because I m in AI field .
this is no longer a " Chromebook " 16GB ram 256GB flash and an i5 CPU
THIS IS A WINDOWS PC or a MAC,,
who cares what it looks like
I think Chromebooks should be INEXPENSIVE and FUNCTIONAL,,, NOT DEV WORKSTATIONS
Ikr with this spec better get windows then dual boot it XD oh well somepeople are different
There is a market. Are you thinking about people who don't want macOS and Windows but prefer ChromeOS and still want good hardware? I think you shouldn't always look through your own prism
Would you guys *please* stop being lazy and show some b-roll instead of your faces the whole time? Also, TH-cam CHAPTERS.
CHROME BOOK PRODUCTS ARE A TOTAL POS, do not bother with buying one of these cheap garbage devices, spend the extra few dollars, and upgrade to a Windows Product. Save yourself from the heartbreak and frustration of having thrown your hard-earned money away !!
my daily carry is the google pixalbook go and iphone 13
