Great display for my social media apps

This product is great!! The display of my Facebook page and other social media apps is superb!! Very fast. Love that it comes with a touch screen. 10/10. Only downside is I cannot use apple IOS apps on this laptop. Other than that, it’s geeat!

A great Chromebook!

I waited for 3 months for this beauty to become available after the CES 2019. As soon as it became available I ordered it. I wanted to compare it to my Pixelbook. (At twice the price or more). One of them could stay and one would have to go. Update: after more testing and comparison, I did the PB and decided to keep the C434! The C434 is a beautiful piece of hardware. Its aluminum finish is perfect. The screen is excellent compared to the Pixelbook it is not quite as bright and brilliant but very close. This is a widescreen versus the 3:4 on the PB. Looks good, better for movies, a bit awkward for use as a tablet. The keyboard is excellent. I'd call it a tie with the PB. Backlighting on the keyboard is good but n daylight it's better to turn it off as the letters on the keys are very hard to read. Trackpad smooth, again a tie. Weight goes to the Pixelbook which is about a pound lighter. Storage, even though the Asus has a micro sd card slot, the PB with 128 or 256 gb of internal storage gets the nod. Chrome seems to deal with internal storage more easily than the external card. Sound very nice for a laptop. Much better than the PB. Ports, they both have 2 USB C but the Asus adds a USB A 3.0. Advantage Asus. It was a very close call, but I decided to keep the PB for a while longer. I bet I'll order the Asus within the next year though. Maybe with a larger HD and a faster processor when available.

Powerful sleek Chromebook.

Love: the fit and finish is beautiful. The chamfered shiny edges are a nice touch without being too flashy. The feel of the keys is just right - not too much or too little travel. The trackpad is larger than the original Flip, which I like. It tracks well. The touch screen is responsive to touch as well as the transition to tablet mode. I really like how the hinges have different tension so the feet on the bottom of the screen go down first when using it in laptop mode but it still converts fully to a flat tablet. I also like how the bottom part with the keyboard tapers towards the edge, give you a more traditional keyboard slant. Running multiple tabs in up to 3 windows while also having at least two apps open I saw no slow down. I can confirm that you can charge the Chromebook with the same charger you use for newer Android phones (USB-C chargers) and you can even use a portable back up battery though both of these will charge slowly. Still, it's a good option in a pinch. Cons: That same keyboard slant means it doesn't fold back complete flush when in table mode, so there's a little bit of flex, but it doesn't seem to be a problem. The slot for the microSD card is just a touch too shallow. On two occasions the microSD card was accidently pressed and popped out. The texture on the keys is just slightly different than the texture on the body, making the paint look a little different. This is extremely minor, but for the money I would have like to have seen a more consistent finish. Overall, I am very pleased with the product and I would buy it again. The only real issue I see is the potential to lose a mircoSD card.

So slick and solid--I love it!

This computer is awesome. The screen is beautiful and responsive, the volume is great, the brightness is great, and I love the ability to freak people out by turning the keyboard all the way around. I am especially pleased with the solid and high quality feel of the keyboard itself. True, the backlit solution doesn't work that great and the white letters are hard to see against the nearly white grey keys. But the feel and feedback of the keyboard itself is amazing.

Android apps DO work in the current Chrome OS on the C434

The Asus Flip C434 is the long-awaited successor to the Asus Flip 302, and the bloggers are giving it a big thumbs up. To clarify some of the Q&A: the current Chrome OS (ver. 73.xxx) DOES support Android apps, and the C434 will ship with Chrome OS ver. 73 (stable channel) according to the Asus tech with whom I spoke. Moreover, as soon as you log in to your gmail account, the C434 will update to the current version and subversion of Chrome OS. You can then elect to subscribe to the Dev channel, rather than the Stable channel of Chrome OS. For those new to Chrome ... Chrome OS, Chrome Desktop, Chrome for Android (available in the PlayStore), and Chrome for iOS are different versions, and are incremented independently, Chrome Desktop comes in Windows, Mac, and Linux flavors (available in the AppStore). When talking about Chrome, you have to confirm the platform and version, since the timing of feature releases can vary. More info at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/

Beautiful and fast

Have been using this Chromebook for a few weeks now. Slightly heavier than my other asus laptop. I grew very tired if windows and had a chrome os lenovo yogabook tablet which I loved. And I love this Chromebook even more. It's sleek. Beautiful design, quick to turn on, off, or load webpages. I'm very happy with it.

New Chromebook - Chrome OS User

The Asus Flip 434 is my first venture into Chrome. It's my first ever laptop/notebook computer as well. The main reason I purchased this model is because I'd read reviews of a previous model by Asus - the Flip 302. It was always highly rated. I also own an Asus AIO desktop PC which has been great. I am not a power user by any stretch but I think this model will offer plenty of bang for my intended usage.I run a new non-profit chapter of a national organization where all technology is online and in the cloud. I don't particularly like using a laptop computer so I've already purchased an external monitor and BT Logitech keyboard. Such a huge difference for me. As for the Chromebook itself; in my opinion it's a premium product in all regards. The build is excellent and it seems/feels/looks like a much more expensive product. Even though it's only 4mb of ram I think this will be plenty for my use. I especially like the screen. It's bright and has very slim bezel. Just looks right.You might be asking why did I buy a laptop when I don't really like them. The reason is because I will on occasion need to take it on the road or to a meeting. I will also use the flip screen at times to show charts, graphs, videos, etc.to prospective donors. I'll also use the 434 Flip at fundraisers when I can hook it up to a projection system. The photo above is my temporary setup as of yesterday to try the new external monitor and keyboard. BTW - my KB isn't a Chrome specific type. I also purchased an inexpensive external 2TB hard drive. Plug & Play simple. I've also connected an HP Officejet Pro printer wirelessly. No problem at all setting that up. The BT connections for both the KB and mouse were a snap to setup and work great. As our office expands I will probably purchase a ChromeBox or two. Chrombooks and I'd guess by extension a Chrome Box are very simple to use and work well. It's almost if you know how to surf the web you can use a Chromebook or Box. The Asus 434 Flip is very nice piece of equipment and I expect many years of service from it.

just phenomenal

If you just want to consume media, go with the Lenovo c630. But if you want the best all around chrome book for media, crostini, productivity etc I think this is the best available right now. Its gorgeous and feels so premium. Like it more than my pic ebook, actually, and WAY more than my pixel slate.

Winner of the best chromebook period

The new ASUS Flip C434 is even better than the original high end C302 they came out with a few years ago. The biggest reason I think this one is better is a few things. One, the screen! It is simply stunning with the super narrow bezels it looks super nice. It is hard to go back go any laptop that doesnt have this now. Two, the all aluminum body and the super stiff/studry hinge that flips 360 degrees is tough to beat, and looks and feels like an expensive macbook pro. Three the backlit keyboard and silver keys looks super futuristic and feel amazing to type on. This is my new daily driver and I think ASUS was able to make something even better than the c302 which was though to beat. Awesome Chromebook.

Works well for me but could use more memory

The memory is 4 GB and over 3 appears to be used. I don't stress the system so it works for me. Some annoying things are that the SD card sticks out a little and if it gets bumped it pops out, and the keys are hard to read. I like to use the SD for storage when possible to leave room in the limited internal memory. It is annoying when the SD has popped out when you are trying to use it. The grey (silver) keys don't have enough contrast with the lettering in imperfect lighting and the backlighting isn't really effective unless you are looking down from above. I preferred the black keys on the C302. I expected this though having tried a Pixelbook which has the same color keys. Overall though I'm happy enough with it and love the screen size for the overall size of the device.
