The Asus Cromebook
Flip, or the Flip C302 as it is known to its parents comes with a US$ 500 price
tag which is slightly more than rival Chromebooks.
The Flip follows the Apple method of ditching as
many ports and plugs as possible, so the new laptop only has USB Type C for
charging, and connecting with accessories. As you would expect, the Flip’s
hinge allows the 12/5-inch display to fold all the way back like Lenovo’s Yoga
devices, which means you can use the 1920 x 1080 FHD touchscreen just like a tablet.
Hardware specifications include an Intel Core M3
chipset 4GB RAM, 128GB internal memory, 2 x USB Type C ports and micro SD card
slot. The Chromebook weights in at 2.65lbs and apparently the battery will last
up to 10 hours on a single charge.
