Fast, beautiful, light, versatile and well priced laptop. I like the backlit keyboard, super clear display and long battery life (8-10 hours). I bought this refurbished, but it looks brand new.

Yes there are 3 different processor models for the ASUS Chromebook Flip and this is the low end processor. However I was a bit worried by this until I used it. I have used computers since the age of 4 or 5 and I guess most people consider very technically sound, and Electro-mechanical Degree helps. Back within the first few months that Chromebooks came about I purchased one for my parents and I would call it the greatest desicion of my life. My father, who could barely turn on a PC (Windows Computer), instantly became a functional internet member with the Chromebook. This one I bought for me many years later and with the addition of Android Apps the future for Chromebooks became even brighter. The Android side is still in Beta, which means it is not a finished product yet but does not stop one from being able to operate. Just might not run some apps and others will work in a phone screen size window. But developers of apps are quickly updating apps to utilize Chromebooks. Last but not least, I have tried hard to overload or slow down the processor to where it is noticable and so far it hums along. Still and Intel process as are the other 2 variants of the Flip. Worth the money folks.

I bought this model online and then realized it was not the one I expected. There is a similar model with 64GB of storage instead of 32 GB of storage on this unit and there is minimal price difference. I returned this one to store and ordered the one with the 64GB of storage.

Attractive design and light. Touchscreen and 360 hinge allow use as a tablet

For a on the go device to access the interwebs, the device is great. Android is still in beta (Google Play) but most apps and games functioned better than I expected. Saw some reviews complaining about the processor but it is the Flip with the cheapest processor because, here comes knowledge, it is cheaper than other models. However I was slightly worried of the processors performance until it performed. Yes this device is not perfect but I love the $300-800 I kept from not buying a PC or Mac that has over 80% of purchased tech I would rarely, if ever, use.

This is the best Chrome book that I have seen by far. It is a little more pricey, but worth it.

This model is being sold with lesser specs and at the same price as a higher spec model directly from the vendor, avoid this model at all cost.
