Specs
Processor: Cortex-A17
Memory: 4 GB of RAM
Storage: 16 GB eMMC
Screen: 10.1 Inches
OS: Chrome OS
Benefits
– Includes a touchscreen
– 2-in-1 design lets you quickly and easily change from a laptop to tablet and it even has audience, tabletop and presentation modes to give you even more flexability
– At just 2 pounds it is one of the lighter laptops you are going to find available
– Battery life is above average with up to 9 hours possible on a single charge
– Built in media card reader that supports all of the popular formats such as MicroSD
– Built in cloud support allows you to save your files directly to your Google Drive account
Downsides
– Storage is very limited even for a Chromebook with only 16 GB of space available, Luckily it includes built in cloud support since you will need it if you save any amount of data
– Does not include any USB 3.0 ports, both ports that are available run on the older and slower USB 2.0 technology
– Operating system will take some getting used to for those that are used to using Windows and Apple devices
Verdict
The 2-in-1 design is a great addition to Chromebook and should allow the Asus Flip Chromebook C100PA-RBRKT07 to quickly become a very popular option. It doesn’t have the same performance and features you would expect from a full sized model but costs a fraction of the price and still covers the basics quite well.
