Our brief hands-on at CES in January left us anxious to spend some more time with this unique Chromebook. With a full 14″ display but a smaller footprint than my 13.5″ Acer Spin, the Flip C434 is dressed to impress and the sub-six hundred dollar price tag will put the pressure on the current models available from the competition.
Here’s a closer look at the ASUS Chromebook Flip C434 from CES Las Vegas.
You can place your order at the ASUS store but as of now, I haven’t received word as to when it will actually ship. Hopefully, the coming weeks will see the addition of the 8GB and larger Core models because, well, I want one.
