I have been struggling with finding the perfect device for my needs over the last few months. I needed a replacement for my Android tablet because it was too small (or my eyesight was just getting to bad for close-up viewing), and so I looked at 2-in-1 laptop designs. At first I only looked at Windows devices because I didn't realize how far Chromebooks had come since their inception, and frankly I was a bit of a snob thinking they couldn't offer what I needed. So I tried 4 different types of Windows devices: two "tablet" types (HP Envy X2 and Acer Switch Alpha 12) - I won't go into details, but neither suited my needs. Then I tried a few 2-in-1 "flip" style laptops: Lenovo Yoga 720 and Asus UX360CA. Again, both devices had their problems, especially when it came to dual booting Android (Remix OS - the Lenovo flat out can't do it, and the Asus just couldn't handle it and keep cool - although it came the closest to being usable).
By this time I was getting pretty frustrated...until I just decided, on a whim, to look at Chromebooks, since nothing else was fitting the bill. And that is where I discovered the Asus Flip (and also looked at the Samsung Chromebook Plus and Pro). Torn between Samsung and the Asus, it came down to Android functionality for me. The Samsung Pro still has a few quirks, and while it has a better screen, the keyboard suffers from a poor design. So I decided to purchase the Asus Flip, and so far it has met every one of my nitpicky demanding needs, more so than any other device (Windows, Android or otherwise).
Sorry for the long intro, so here is my review of this Chromebook so far:
Build quality is very good, nearing the "excellent" mark, especially for the price. Aluminum construction, no creaking or significant flexing, and still thin and light enough to be a serviceable tablet and an awesome laptop. This is built better than the Asus UX360CA Windows 2-in-1, and that thing costs several hundred dollars more and doesn't have a backlit keyboard :P The display is superb, with decent color range (not as nice as the Samsung Pro, but that is Samsung's bread and butter, and I would rather have a better keyboard from them, TBH). I am liking the 16:9 screen ratio, as it is "normal" for laptop use, and also "normal" for older Android tablet formats. I don't use tablets in portrait mode very often.
Sound has been fine, except for a few issues with an Android app, and that can easily be software related as Android is still in infant stages (or at least toddler) on Chromebooks, and I expect those quirks will smooth out over time as Chromebook software is updated on a very regular basis.
I love the USB C charging, and especially the fact that I can charge from either side so if I am using it in tablet mode or laptop mode, it can be plugged in on the side closest to the outlet. Small thing, I know, but with traditional laptops sometimes you have the cord wrapped around your head or something weird because of where you are sitting :P Also quick charging is great, super quick to charge up to full. I have been taxing the battery pretty hard, but it has been showing decent numbers on time left. Not a lot of experience with it so far, but I anticipate it will be just fine especially compared to similar Windows devices.
The keyboard is very nice for me. It is very similar to a normal Windows keyboard on a similarly sized laptop, and the keys feel good. The keyboard itself is very solid, almost no flex, especially comparing it to the Asus UX360CX... I wish that unit had had this keyboard, especially with the backlight. Some people may say a backlight is no big deal, and they are probably right, but it is very handy at night or low light, and also just adds a little bit of class to the device. Key travel feels good. Overall very good compared to other devices like the Acer switch Alpha 12 and Lenovo Yoga 720.
Software. Chromebooks are up and coming, and there isn't much you can't do on these things anymore. Sure, you are limited to one browser, but Chrome is well suited for most websites these days, and the apps and plugins are beyond compare. While it isn't my favorite browser on a Windows machine (it is pretty resource intensive), it seems to operate just fine on the Chromebook. And if I really want to view a website in another browser and not switch devices, the remote function to my Windows desktop works like a charm with almost no lag, so it will serve in a pinch.
Android is running flawlessly so far, barring one minor incident with sound on Clash of Clans (which went away on reboot). I also just got an update to non-Beta channel for the OS, although Play Store still says (Beta) next to it, I think Android is now running on this machine in the stable build. I could be wrong, but for my experience, I didn't have to do anything special to enable the Play Store and it is working with no issues.
Best of all, with Android, the laptop features work seemlessly with Android apps. For example, screen rotation, disabling the keyboard and touchpad when in tablet mode, etc. Those were not available options when dual booting into Remix OS on a Windows device (if you get it to work at all). So even if you have a 2-in-1, there really wasnt a tablet experience available for them. But this device goes from Android tablet to a pseudo-Windows laptop in a flip, and with no hiccups or other quirks.
Performance: so far I have mainly run a few Android games and browsing. I have noticed a little bit of heat on the graphic intensive games, but otherwise the machine stays calm, cool, and collected. No issues there, and I don't anticipate any since the Intel M3 processor is really overpowered for Chromebook functionality, and seems to be suited well to run Android so far (although that will depend on your app usage, or so I have heard).
TLDR version: perfect hybrid device if you want a light-weight laptop to browse, email, watch movies, etc, and also flip into Android tablet mode with a bigger screen than the normal Android tablet fare. Quality is excellent so far, and the software/hardware combination works like they were made for each other (which is what you want :))
I work at an enterprise software company and have a very technical position, but I'm not a developer per-se. I need access to Webex/GoToMeeting/Skype Meeting, VMWare, Hyper-V, Remote Desktop, RemoteApp, IE (for legacy apps), Notepad++, 7zip, Adobe Professional, Palo Alto VPN, Camtasia Recorder, and others. Most of this stuff I use on a day to day basis. So could I use this Asus Chromebook instead of my Lenovo PC I got from work? Not really, but I can use them together.
There are some apps that I can't use on this Chromebook, such as RemoteApp, VMWare, Hyper-V, and VPN and Camtasia. The others I can find some online version that will do just fine. The workaround is to use TeamViewer or Chrome Remote Desktop to RDP into my Lenovo and use the apps that I need. It's a janky solution but I think it's one that works. I'm sacrificing convenience for portability and battery life.
Having access to the Play store is a big plus because I can still access MS OneDrive, Word/Excel/PowerPoint/OneNote, Skype for Business, and more. The one annoyance is that Office 365 doesn't provide a seamless way to save file offline and sync up when you're online. OneDrive does provide this functionality, but it only opens the files on the MS Office app installed. The problem is that if I save a file for offline access in OneDrive, when I open that word doc using the native Word app, it opens it in read-only format. If I want to make changes and save those changes, I need to save a copy, make the changes and then upload the new copy to OneDrive. The alternative is to make sure I open my file in Office 365 before I go online so that I can work with it offline. This is kind of a pain and I'm hoping it gets better in the near future.
Regarding the Chromebook itself:
-The keyboard is great and has a nice gentle/quiet click to it.
-The keys themselves don't travel that much which I prefer.
-The trackpad, while a little on the small size, has a nice glass smooth finish and it works reliable well.
-The screen size is an awkward 16:9 and provides a 1920x1080 resolution (although the default is set to 1536x864). Not great when looking at websites or working on word documents, but it gets you by. Would've prefer a 3:2 ratio instead.
-The touchscreen works great and is very responsive. Most of the time I forget that its there until I remember and use it for another 5-10 minutes before I forget again. I don't usually use this in tablet mode since that's not the reason for my purchase, but I'm sure it'll perform admirably.
-The build quality is great but not necessarily impressive. While it is an aluminum body, something about it just feels a little cheap. Maybe because it doesn't seem to have any heft to it or because it feels like a plastic/aluminum hybrid. I honestly can't put my finger on it but it doesn't really scream out premium to me.
-The battery is a respectable 8 solid hours even when I have webex, 20+ tabs, word, excel, powerpoint, skype for business, onenote, and 5 other apps running and screen brightness at 75%.
-Performance wise, the Chromebook does a great job at managing the RAM to the apps that need it. I'm usually peaked with RAM (~95%) which is good because it's better used than not used. I haven't felt any noticeable lag as I'm switching applications or what not. Some apps have crashed on me, but I'm guessing that's because I'm on the beta channel to have access to the Play store and not all the quirks have been figured out.
-The Play Store, well it's the play store. If you're familiar with Android, then you've got access to the same stuff here. It does install the "tablet" version of the app which is nice, but they don't really have any "chromebook" versions yet. Tablet works just fine though.
-Regarding the ports, 2 USB Type-C can be limiting but I bought the Dell adapter to connect regular USB, VGA, HDMI and Ethernet. I hooked up a bluetooth mouse that works fairly well and inserted an extra 64GB Micro-SD card for storage. Still can't figure out how to install apps on the SD card though.
-Chrome OS is pretty nice and since I'm a big Android fan, it feels more or less like home. I did install Chrome OS (Chromium) on a bootable USB drive and used it on my Lenovo PC before making the purchase so I could test the waters so to speak. There are some limitations with Chromium but it's enough to get my feet wet.
Ahh this is turning out to be a longer review than I thought. To summarize, if you're looking at this to use for both personal and business and got some apps that you know for sure won't work on Chromebooks, there is hope with RDP/TeamViewer. For 99% of the people looking at Chromebooks right now for personal use, this Asus is probably the best choice in the market (over the HP 13, Acer 14, and Dell Chromebook). Jury's still out on the Samsung Chromebook Plus/Pro.

Super bon laptop, clavier retro-éclairé avec des bonnes touches agréables, en masse de Ram pour un chromebook et même avec Ubuntu Desktop aucun problème. Écran touchscreen très bien éclairé et image clair et pure. Batterie dure très longtemps et il fait pas de bruit du tout. Les speaker sont très fort et clair aussi pour un petit laptop. Je l'ai depuis quelques mois et je suis encore aujourd'hui super content. Achetez vous un adaptateur usb-c à usb-a, c'est le futur usb c mais c'est pas partout encore. Batterie peux charger par les 2 ports usbc, bien pratique.
Great laptop all-around, backlit keyboard with good key travel and feel, more than enough Ram for a chromebook and even Ubuntu desktop works well.Touchscreen works well and the screen backlight is enough, crisp and bright display. Battery life is very good and the laptop makes no sound. The speakers play well, very loud and clear for a laptop. I've had it for a few months and I am still very happy with it. Consider buying a Usb-c to Usb-a adapter. Usbc is the future but there is still a lot of devices using A-type. Battery can also charge from both usbc holes, very convenient.
Now I have been using this device for nearly a year and haven't found any issues with it.
Am into android and Google ecosystem since 2010 and am sure a lot of Indians are too. So this machine fit well with me be it browsing the net or researching for articles and doing similar stuff.
I have never had to close any of the tabs or apps due to any reason till now...usually work on Chrome browser and Google docs with music from either spotify or Google play music. No issues watching HD movies or streaming them to the TV.
Charges faster than my iPhone and battery lasts twice as long. Stand by time too is amazing and I have hardly ever needed to charge it when in office.
Display is good, so much so that the battle of winterfell (GOT) looked bearable on it as compared with my TV. Sound output too isn't bad though I listen to music at a very low volume.
Typing is another absolutely good thing on this with decent key travel and good layout. Trackpad is also good and gestures work smoothly. Haven't had any accidental touch issue with the trackpad.
Ergonomically, full points.
So the only issue I have is unavailability in India and the high price I had to pay for it.
