Design
Flip the Chromebook $ 239.00 plus Amazon gets its name from the 360-degree hinge, which allows the display around and fold back, providing for multiple usage modes, including Stand and Tablet mode. It is very much like the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e Chromebook $ 449.00 Lenovo examination last year, but instead of two dual-axis hinges connecting the display and the keyboard, the Flip has another hinge runs the length of the chassis. The added flexibility makes it one of only two Chromebooks can claim tablet functions, and gives you several different ways to use the device.
Flip has aluminum construction, which in itself would put the system head and shoulders above the plastic construction of the most Chromebook; It's almost like having a Google Chromebook Pixel (2015) $ 1,251.52 on Amazon in miniature. But in spite of brushed aluminum, the Flip is also exceptionally slim. The compact laptop measures 0.61 by 10.35 by 7.18 inches (HWD) and weighs £ 1.96, making it slimmer and lighter than almost anything this side of a simple tablet. Even when folded around in Tablet mode, the system is sleek and portable and extremely easy to hold.
The 10.6-inch display is one of the better ones we've seen in a system based on Chrome, thanks to an In-Plane Switching (IPS) panel. The screen resolution of 1280-by-800 provides less than even the most inexpensive models Chromebook most opt for the 1366-by-768 resolution, but with a 10-inch display, it does not make much difference. The screen has a fairly wide viewing angles. It also supports touch, which we've seen on some other Chromebook, like the latest Google Chromebook Pixel or the Acer Chromebook C720P-2600 $ 279.00 at Best Buy, but it is still an unusual feature in the category , and usually unheard of in the sub - $ 300 price. With the display is a pair of stereo speakers, with clear audio, but very low volume. Even when turned up, the overall volume is low, so it could be an example where the headphones are best.
Despite the compact dimensions of the Flip, the keyboard has a good, close enough to full size it does not feel particularly cramped, and with just enough depth for decent key travel. The keyboard has a standard layout Chrome, with small touches, such as a dedicated search key instead of the Caps Lock, Chrome and function instead of the F1 to F12 keys. The touchpad is not huge (there is only so much room to work on), but it seems a little wider than what I expected, and width makes it feel a bit more spacious than its 3.4 by-1.8-inch size. It is also optimized for Chrome OS, with gesture support and two-finger tap for right-click function.
Features
The selection port, such as laptop, is slim side, with two USB 2.0 ports and a headset jack, but a micro-HDMI port and a microSD card slot, two features that are usually full-size. All ports are on the right side of the system, while on the left you will see the Power port (which uses a small, reversible proprietary connector) and buttons for Power and volume. For connectivity, the Flip has a dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.1.
There is only a 16GB eMMC for local storage, which is common for less expensive Chromebook, but it is not that much of a barrier, considering the reliance on Google Drive and apps like Google Docs, Sheets and Slides. Flip has an offer for 100GB of Google Drive cloud storage (free for two years), and between the USB port and the microSD card slot, there are plenty of choices for local storage as too. Asus covers the Chromebook Flip (C100PA-DB02) with a one-year warranty.
