The right choice for me

I'm a longtime Chromebook user and am amazed at how far these highly affordable laptop replacement parts have come. I've overcome the limitations of my latest Chromebook by dual booting Linux, but thanks to new features and app availability, my new ASUS Chromebook Flip C214 2-in-1 laptop is able to do almost anything I need without Having to play PC games. . My favorite features are the ability to flip the C214 over and use it as a drawing tablet. I used to have to lug around my big laptop when I needed to work on graphics, but with the new Krita app and C214 pen and drawing capabilities, I can get by with a Chromebook on the go. Battery life depends on how many tabs I have open and what I'm doing. A full charge usually takes 8-10 hours. If I just read or write, it can go on. I've had this model for about three months and haven't had many problems. The touchscreen and trackpad work well, although I recently had an issue with my charger. I'm not sure if it's a cable/power supply or USB port issue. UPDATE: My charging issue turned out to be cable related. It was an easy replacement and now it loads great. It pairs well with a large desktop monitor, but I'd also like to be able to connect multiple monitors. But it's only sometime/maybe. Overall I'm very happy with how the C214 meets my daily work needs and that I can usually leave my very bulky laptop at home.
