This little Chromebook is what
Wintonwoods@mail.com (Feb 17, 2018)

This little Chromebook is what computers really should be. It does all of the information-gathering and exchange that most people need on a day-to-day basis. I have lots of computers of various powers and purposes and for day-to-day use this one is the best. It starts up right away and has decent battery life that looks nice. I use it with a Bluetooth mouse and it is every bit as good as my much more expensive windows laptop.

After doing some detailed research
Andrew (Feb 17, 2018)

After doing some detailed research looking for a small, light compact laptop, I came across this Chromebook by ASUS. I wanted a product that I can use while travelling for private email and web surfing. My Company work laptop of course weighs a metric ton well not exactly but you get the message.This has met and exceeded my expectations. I would never have thought that a Chromebook would be so fun to use. Its really quick at loading web pages. Applications open quickly and are easy to use. If you have an Android phone its easy to sync if you want.A Chromebook is very secure too. No need to load up bloatware virus software, not needed. Even in hotels or cafe bars you have a secured IP address.If you want to run Excel, Microsoft Word and a Power-point presentation this Chromebook is not for you. This is a small, well built product ideal for general usage. Read the news.. Catch up on sports. Though I will say, watching a sports video or perhaps ESPN3 live works amazingly well.Treat yourself.. If you want the top of the line, spend a little more and get the Intel Core M5 version but I'll tell you, the Intel M3 is well optimized and is darn quick.

Extremely pleased with this chromebook. Keyboard is as awesome as everyone says and the google play store is definitely a bonus. Does exactly what I need for work and school without the lag of my old windows laptop.

Fast and quality device. Keyboard
Ken C. (Feb 15, 2018)

Fast and quality device. Keyboard and touch pad are responsive and screen is quite nice. Metallic body that feels sturdy and I've used the 360 degrees feature more than I care to admit. You need a USB C dongle to connect to other devices though (not included). Connects and is steady on my WiFi 3 floors below when my other devices struggle. Stereo speakers on the sides means no muffled sounds. They are loud and clear, not fantastic, but get the job done. Only had it for a few days, but so far it's fantastic.

Great so far. The touch pad tends to be not fully recessed on its left side so finger grabs a bit

Perfect for my needs. Small but big enough so I can see, easy to travel with. Starts right up and fast. Glad I bought this, this will be my only computer instead of having two.

Perfect chromebook, it weights 2.54
JEAD (Feb 27, 2018)

Perfect chromebook, it weights 2.54 pound. All day browsing is supported by the battery. But the chromeOS is a little bit annoying. When you power off the chromebook, you have to login your email again rather than just enter the password.

I write books and I use Google Docs for all my draft work. I bought this Chromebook primarily to use for writing based on the reviews of the keyboard. Those reviews were right. This unit has a fantastic keyboard. One of the best I've used on any laptop.I opted for the m3 processor to save a little money and it hasn't choked on anything I've thrown at it yet. I've had as many as 21 tabs open, with 4 of them on YouTube, 6 or more with a Google Doc opened, and the rest on Craigslist webpages, including Facebook and news sites.Video playback was smooth and clean. The side firing speakers are acceptable for most things. However, when I'm writing, I'll need headphones. I left my Bluetooth headphones at work so I'll have to edit this review once I get to try that configuration.I also have USB-C to USB 3 him and some adapters coming so I can try some other things.Aesthetically, the unit looks very professional and serious. Despite being thin and lightweight, it feels like a much more expensive laptop.I tried the screen in all orientations including tent mode and tablet mode. My only concern were some of the areas to click were fairly small on the screen. But, that is an application issue I can let slide. Otherwise, the touch display worked great.So far, this is my favorite laptop, not just Chromebook. It's my favorite laptop of all my laptops, and I have 5.It was definitely worth the price I paid for it.

I got a replacement. Love it. See my previous message which I gave 1 star. Asus should thank Amazon -because now I can see this laptop is better than my older MacBook Air. It's lighter, good construction, Chromebook works perfectly and downloaded 10 different apps I normally use for free. I'm glad I didn't get the new samsung chrome plus because this laptop feels more substantial and much better design. If you are looking to ditch apple I recommend it and touch screen works great and easy to read movie scripts to take notes.************** Below is my old review which I wrote 5 days ago.... received it this morning and returned it in the afternoon for replacement. Everything looked great and seems as good as my old Macbook Pro. I plugged it in to charge for 5 hours (3 hour minimum suggested), then opened the screen. Nada. Black screen. I pressed the power button, again nothing happened. It's a dead weight with no screen activities. Electricity light is on so it should be charging, right? I'm repacking it now to send it back to Amazon for exchange. I'm hoping the replacement comes as described. This has never happened with any other manufacturers in my life - Asus should be better at quality control. At least Amazon makes the exchange less painful. Unfortunately, I won't be able to get it before my business trip.

This Chromebook feels sturdy and substantive while still being light and ultra-portable. The keyboard has just the right amount of responsiveness. The screen is bright but not glaring. It oozes with a sense of luxurious craftsmanship in much the same way Apple products usually do. When using webapps you forget its a Chromebook. It can handle multiple tasks at once and has never yet disappointed.

I've owned a lot of chromebooks, this one is near perfect. My only complaint is the relatively low resolution of the display when playing android games that assume super-high-dpi typically found in modern tablets. Also the lack of full-size USB ports is mildly annoying. I got this as an ultra portable companion to my T580 and am well versed in Chrome OS. The keyboard is nice for it's size, the flip back tablet mode is almost as nice as a real tablet. Speed is plenty.

This Chromebook is amazing. It
Jaygatsby9909 (Mar 5, 2018)

This Chromebook is amazing. It is very fast and fluid and I have noticed no hiccups or issues with slowdown. It comes with Android apps available straight out of the box. My choices were this and a Samsung Chromebook Pro. I tested the Chromebook Pro at a local Best Buy and, although the scren quality was great, the keyboard was too packed together and led to many typing errors. This Chromebook features a full size keyboard and is easier type on by a long shot. It is also backlit which the Chromebook Pro is not. The screen is really amazing and you can easily change it to 1080p with no issues (it's set lower out of the box). It can even simulate 2K in the OS but the icons and text become almost too small to read or use. It has a very fast 64GB SSD and 4GB on LPDDR3 memory. The m3 processor (also available as m5 variant) is fast and easily handles anything I throw at it. It is a fanless processor so there are no vents or openings of any kind which makes this exceptionally quiet as well. The touchscreen is very responsive and works great in tablet mode. The device is very light and easily transportable. The battery life is touted as 10 hours but I find that 7.5 to 8 is more realistic. The design of the device also sets it apart. It is better looking than most other Chromebooks an looks very much like a MacBook air or a small MacBook Pro. Overall, this is one of , if not, the best devices I've used including Windows and Mac computers. I highly recommend overall.Happy to answer any questions that wasn't covered in this review.

I mainly use it for internet browsing and using remote desktop to my win 10 machine. Its very solid and long battery life. When I received the computer, N key did not response from time to time. Lucky that this computer carries international warranty such that I can fix it in a local dealer.Still it is a chromehook, it does not have F1-F12, home, delete keys... It makes my remote window session not very smooth. For web browsing, it is perfect.[added after 1.5 years in Oct 2019]Used the chromebook for 1.5 years. I have no complaint at all. I still mainly use it for remote access terminal and browser. Recently, I checked that Google does not to use Linux on this computer. Instead, I installed ubuntu in this chromebook. After some work, this chromebook becomes a Chrome OS and Ubuntu dual OS machine.I installed a few linux application in this machine. The processing speed is OK to run them and no time lags. I love this Chromebook.

Although I am firmly entrenched
David (Mar 12, 2018)

Although I am firmly entrenched in the Windows world, I almost always reach for this Asus Chromebook when I travel and do not need to use any esoteric Windows programs. It is easy to carry and a delight to use, with the screen and keyboard being especially appealing to me, and the battery life being pretty good. I am also relieved that I don't have to worry compulsively about security and malware, since the Chrome OS handles most of this stuff transparently. A couple of my favorite Android apps still do not run well on this machine, but that is a small inconvenience in what is otherwise a great product.
