The Asus Chromebook CX1 (CX1400) is one of the best Chrome OS laptops around. It packs an impressive 14-inch (1920 x 1080) display, a size and resolution you don’t often see on Chromebooks. Powering the machine is a 1.1-GHz Intel Celeron N3350 dual-core CPU paired with 4GB of RAM. For safekeeping your important files, it affords you 64GB of microSD-expandable storage. While these specs may seem meager, on Google’s lightweight and efficient Chrome OS, it’s plenty oomph for creating docs, browsing the web and streaming....

Our favorite convertible Chromebook just got even better. With a larger display, longer battery life and stronger performance, the new Asus Chromebook Flip C434 (reviewed at $569) is a big improvement over its excellent predecessor, the Chromebook Flip C302CA. Furthermore, the Chromebook Flip C434 has a sleek aluminum chassis and its 14-inch panel is both vivid and bright. These welcome changes have produced one of the best Chromebooks we’ve ever tested....

Although not a gaming laptop per se, the new Flip CM5 does offer support for Google Stadia and Nvidia GeForce Now. Sadly, it arrives with only a 60Hz screen and Radeon integrated graphics, so it’s not a true gaming laptop. However, Asus did add some gaming flair to the unit with the WASD key outlined in bold orange, with Asus saying, “it lets users stand out while enjoying quick, intuitive gameplay in cloud-based games....

With a 12th Gen Intel CPU, RTX 30 series graphics, a massive 16:9 display with up to a 360Hz refresh rate, and a beastly on-board battery, Asus made some careful calculations and compromises to maximize what the company feels is important to gamers. So, has the team made the right choices? Is this a worthy system for our best gaming laptops page? Let’s find out. Asus TUF Gaming F15 (2022) price and configurations The TUF F15 we tested packs an Intel Core i7-12700H CPU, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 GPU, 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD, alongside a 1080p, 300Hz display to show it all off on — coming in at $1,499....

Asus Vivobook S 14 Flip OLED price and configurations For example, the Vivobook S 14 Flip OLED with AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and 1TB SSD will set you back $1,099 at Best Buy (opens in new tab). You’re getting better performance, of course, but this price doesn’t match the near all-plastic chassis, flimsy touchpad, stiff keyboard, and overall lackluster display. On the flip side (pun intended), there’s the 12th Gen Intel Core i5-12500H configuration with 8GB of DDR4 RAM and a 512 SSD priced at $799 (opens in new tab), which is still fairly affordable....

Design Many of Asus’ premium notebooks are a nice navy blue, but the ZenBook Pro casts a striking profile in black. I like the change, as the laptop straddles the line between premium and professional. The lid still features the typical ZenBook iconic concentric circles, but Asus’ logo, usually in gold or silver, is now clear and glows with the backlight from the display on the other side. The screen is surrounded by a thin bezel, and the island-style keyboard is flanked by speakers on both sides, integrated into the aluminum deck....
