Review on ASUS Chromebook Flip C214MA-YS02T 11.6” Rugged Water-Resistant Chromebook, 360° Convertible Touchscreen, Intel N4000, 4GB DDR4 RAM, 32GB Storage, Mil STD Design, Chrome OS, Black by Nathan Jankowski

Pros: - Easy to set up (IMHO) and use - Very fast power on/wake up - Long battery life - Lightweight - easy to use Carry it in your purse or backpack - Has charging ports on both sides. Disadvantages: - VERY low speaker volume. Be prepared to use headphones for movies, shows, and games. So low that I considered sending it back, but I mostly use it in class/practice or when I'm sleeping and the hubs are sleeping and I'm wearing headphones anyway, so it's not a big deal these days. - The border around the screen is really thick and I have a hard time clicking on the tabs in my browser to close them - it usually takes me a few tries each time and I have no thumbs. - The screen looks and feels pretty cheap. I don't know how to explain it further, that's just my impression. However, using it as a touchscreen was a good experience. It's very responsive and you can adjust its sensitivity. The only issue that limits its functionality is the thick frame. On the other hand, the thickness can help protect the screen when it falls. This is a criticism of the Google Chromebook OS in general, not ASUS. If you expect to be able to run all apps from the Google Play Store, especially games, you will be disappointed. Many games don't run on mine. Also, downloading some Google apps is pretty pointless as the Chromebook version of the app is harder to use than the website version. Example: I never use the Google Drive app and other apps like Google Doc on my Chromebook because I don't like the way the app looks and works. The same apps look and behave differently on my Pixel 3. - No stylus included. After finding out you have to go with another product listing that costs about $50 more to get the pen. what will work on it, ie). I wouldn't buy it if I was going to use it as my main computer (I also have a desktop computer), but I got it to take notes in my senior year and internship, so it's working for me now. If I didn't have a desktop computer, I'd probably go with the Surface Pro or the larger Google-branded Chromebook.
