Hands on: Meet the convertible Chromebook Flip

Google's Chrome OS is amidst its most noteworthy development spurt to date. While the stage is little by small extending and turning out to be more flexible, the gadgets running the product are likewise enhancing by a wide margin. 

To mind: the new Asus Chromebook Flip. We first
listened about the Flip in April - and now, it's at long last here. All things considered, just about.


I just got my hands on a Flip survey unit, and oh my goodness: This thing makes an awesome initial introduction. The gadget has a metal-driven development that is strong and solid - yet shockingly light. 

Inside sits a 10.1-in. 1280-x-800 IPS touchscreen show.

Furthermore, as the Flip's name proposes, the screen flips back an entire 360 degrees - permitting you to utilize the gadget as a stand-bolstered slate or even a completely smoothed tablet.

A $249 Chromebook that's made of metal and able to flip a full 360 degrees? Darn tootin'. Time to go hands on with the new Chromebook Flip

As a refresher, the Flip keeps running on a Rockchip 3288 processor with either 2GB of RAM or 4GB of RAM. The unit I'll be inspecting is the 4GB model (however you can get a smart thought of what kind of execution the 2GB variant will convey in my grasp on examination of the Hisense Chromebook, which utilizes that same careful arrangement). 

This isn't the first occasion when we've seen a convertible Chromebook, however it's absolutely the first occasion when we've seen one at costs like these: $249 for the 2GB model or $299 for the 4GB variant. That implies it's likewise the first occasion when we've seen one that is gone for normal shoppers and situated for standard appropriation. 

Value aside, there's a ton that makes the Chromebook Flip fascinating - and a considerable measure that separates it from the normal Chrome OS gadget. Accordingly, there's a ton to consider in assessing what it resembles to utilize and for whom it may bode well. 

I'll be living with the Chromebook Flip for the following a few days and will have a certifiable survey to impart to you soon. The Flip is set to end up broadly accessible at some point after the July fourth occasion, so we have time to get this privilege.

For now, I'll say this: Things are definitely not going to be dull in the Chrome OS universe this summer. Stay tuned.
