I love it. I'm still getting to know the variables, but I feel like I'm no longer working from the place of what computers have been. I'm working toward what computers will be.

This Chromebook is perfect for me. Very fast. Keyboard is great. Screen is excellent. I've been a Chromebook user since 2010 (I was one of the original testers) and this is the best Chromebook I've owned. BTW, I'm not a Google employee.

Though it is abreast laptop I cannot access files on my external drive (telling me "unrecognised USB). Nor can I setup my wireless printer. Having to use AirPrint from my iPhone instead.

The Asus Chromebook Flip C434TA-DSM4T is an exciting laptop, providing class-leading performance, and it's by far the most exciting piece of hardware around. It runs fast enough for the usual OS tasks, it runs a long time on a single charge of the battery, and its sleek metallic design makes it easy...

Sleek; premium design; Thin display bezels; Long battery life

Finicky touchpad

Chromebooks are becoming more and more popular and their success can be explained by several factors: price, battery life, and performance. Asus is not a novice manufacturer in this field and expects to have its share of the cake.

Elegant design; Excellent battery life; Performance; Connection technology

Limited tablet mode; High price for a Chromebook

Still, 7hrs 33mins isn't to be sniffed at, and the Flip C434TA does well in every other way. It's a cracking premium convertible Chromebook, even if the Dell Inspiron Chromebook 14 takes top spot in this Labs.

Slim ergonomic design; Crisp 1080p Full HD resolution

Poor sound quality at high volumes; Low-power processor

Laptops like the Asus Chromebook Flip C434 make you wonder how much we should be willing to pay for a Chromebook. These laptops are great for day-to-day browsing and light work, which is what made them so easy to recommend when most of them were cheap, and low-cost Windows laptops were terrible.

Good keyboard; Good screen; Solid battery life

Disappointing trackpad; Chrome OS's apps are still weak

A luxurious Chromebook Asus' new 2-in-1 will surprise you

Reliable performance; Snappy keyboard and touchpad; Battery life is excellent; Solid build quality

Unimpressive display; Overly stiff hinge

The Flip C434TA has some of the best performance we've seen in a Chromebook. It looks good, is comfortable to use, and the touchscreen adds versatility especially when paired with Android games.

I've been very impressed with the Asus C434 since I got it around a month ago. Wanted to upgrade to a premium Chromebook and this fits the bill: nice slim bezels on the screen which is super sharp and is great for watching Netflix/iPlayer on the go and the overall feel of the device is great.
