Its stylish contemporary looks, compact portability and powerful specifications are all designed to let you get things done with no fuss, all day and every day. ASUS Chromebook Flip C434 features a new four-sided NanoEdge 14-inch display — with ultraslim bezels and an incredible 87% screen-to-body ratio — for a truly immersive viewing experience, and the unique 360° ErgoLift hinge lets you work in supreme comfort. There’s a world of apps to explore on the Google Play Store1. When only the best is good enough, ASUS Chromebook Flip C434 delivers.

Not as tough as they say and warranty help falls short
I am so utterly disappointed with this product.After it broke for the 2nd time in less than a year, ASUS offered to waive the assessment fee but said it was physically damaged so I would be resposible for the cost of the repairs. It's physically damaged because the recently replaced screen popped out on the corner and when my son tried to close it, the whole bottom corner of the screen cracked and shards of glass fell out. I would not pay another penny out of my own pocket to have it assessed or repaired. I can only assume that the $85 diagnostic fee would be only the tip of the iceberg in regards to the overall cost to repair it, plus costs for materials to ship the product. I'm sure I can buy a better product new, with a new warranty, for likely the same amount it would cost me to ship and repair.Right out of the box, it did not perform as expected. It was laggy and slow to load even basic programs. It did not even last a year under very basic usage. Never left the house, was used mainly on my sons lap while sitting on the couch. We performed all regular updates which would improve performance briefly but not speed up loading of games. We purchased plain Jane Samsung tablets at the same or lower costs and they have out performed this product in every single way. I can't express how devestated my son was to have his big Christmas present be such a huge disappointment. I will never buy another ASUS product ever again.I am in disbelief that a company as large as ASUS with a self proclaimed industry "top warranty", would let a customer down in this way to save $400 (or less). It's frankly disgraceful.Did ASUS address the original screen issue, yes. However, not even a few months after receiving it back, we have a another screen issue and it's frankly worse than the first one. At least we could have used the Chromebook without the touchscreen functionality. Now, it's completely useless with broken shards of screen glass falling out and a hinge that makes it worse everytime you open or close it. I'm blown away by the lack of sympathy and accountability being displayed here, the solution presented was simply not adequate.When shipping for repair we were counselled to wrap the laptop in 3" of bubble wrap but then also to package in a box wrapped in another 3" of bubble wrap in another box or we would be held responsible for any damages that could occur in transit. Then, when returned to us, it was packaged in a single thin cardboard envelope wrapped in a single layer of bubble wrap and could easily be shaken back and forth. Tell me, who's responsible now that the product failed? Also me I guess. What a sham.Honestly, nothing short of a full refund would have appeased me. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS CHROMEBOOK. BUY SOMETHING ELSE.

Have had this now for a few weeks and hasn't disappointed! Once the initial charge was done that took 3hrs as recommended it was ready to use, no extra set up required. Couple minor issues-no number keypad, and its smaller size takes some getting use to the keyboard. Battery lasts me about 3 days, very light user, don't play games or stream music so that may vary with the usage. It starts up quick as well as opening webpages. Touch pad is very sensitive, however, I like using a mouse so purchased one; do use both. Had some difficulty setting up to print though, unless you have a cloud ready printer that will pick up automatically it still is possible. I found some helpful videos and use our current laptop as a printer server, very easy to set up. Overall very happy with it.

This is a high quality laptop and works great. Much simpler to maintain than a windows based laptop for simple web browsing, email, streaming/casting. Its a great tablet replacement and you get the keyboard included. Though the keys are very hard to read when backlit in daylight as they are silver. I have to turn the backlight off all the time. The screen is good quality and has nice resolution for the price. Would be great if it supported the Asus pen too.

This is my first chromebook. I read a few negative reviews online but decided to buy it anyway.

I love this chromebook and it's exactly what I needed! The keyboard backlighting may be the only down side I have to mention but if you're comfortable with typing without looking at the keys, you won't have much trouble.

Battery life and screen are the major selling points. It's hard to describe the impact of having such thin bezels until you boot it up and see for yourself.

Some say it's a bit expensive, but the aluminum body makes this feel like a very high quality laptop. Like anything else, you have to do your research beforehand. If you don't want aluminum, look for another laptop, but for me, this was everything I expected and more.

Don't take my word for it though, look up more reviews online and do more research before deciding. I did, and I'm not dissapointed with my purchase at all.

This is an awesome laptop/notebook. Works as expected. The weight was a big surprise. The sound sounds great too! I bought this one so I could bring it along with me where ever I go plus watch movies from Netflix/Amazon without the "black" bars I was getting with my nexus 9.

I thought it was a good time to buy one of these as the price dropped from approx $800+ down to $699. I'm a little miffed/hurt though as it continued to drop an additional $150. Sad :( I wish there was a price drop policy I could take advantage of this time. I'm ok with $30-50 etc type drops but $150 price drop so shortly after me buying it has me a little miffed. It is too much of a bite off my buy price that its too hard to chew on, if ya get what I mean.

5.0 out of 5 stars I use it as my daily driver
Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2019
Configuration: m3/4GB/64GBVerified Purchase
I have had this chromebook for three weeks now, and I have used it on a constant daily basis of about 8-10 hours per day. I am impressed by the build quality and usability. I haven't had a chromebook for a long time. I had an original Samsung Chromebook for a couple years, and back then Chrome OS was still edgy enough to not always be able to fill my needs as a student and teacher, but it was enough to get by until I got home to my desktop. Since getting this Asus c434, however, my desktop has been collecting dust. I work two teaching jobs and attend school, so I am constantly on the computer planning lessons, reading, typing documents, doing research, or just streaming Netflix or Hulu at home.

Screen: I love that it is compact and light, but still packs a 14" touchscreen. I use the multi-position screen either when I'm using it like a tablet, or I'll fold the screen back and use my own bluetooth keyboard and mouse. The hinge is tight and holds the screen in any position very nicely. The colors are good, and movies are clear and crisp. The touch panel works smoothly, and I find myself using my fingers almost as often as my mouse. Also, I often plug in an additional screen while I'm teaching or working, and I haven't had any issues with that at all. It just does everything automatically, and the processor doesn't get bogged down at all.

Keyboard: I read dozens of reviews before purchasing this one, and the top negative comment was about the keyboard backlight making it difficult to see the letters sometimes. This is true, but the easy fix is to simply turn down the backlight when there is a lot of ambient light. Otherwise the typing is smooth. I don't love chiclet keyboards in general, but this one is not bad, even when I've typed a few pages on it.

Battery: I have gone a full ten hours on this thing while just using browser tabs and typing or viewing. However, there are certain apps, like one game I enjoy playing, that drain the battery more. Even if I play that for an hour or two, I can still get 6 or 7 hours of use without a problem. Usually I just charge it once at night and then carry it with me throughout the day without needing a recharge.

OS: Chrome is smooth and fast, and if like me you mostly use web-based applications like Google office, Office 365, Canvas, Blackboard, etc., then this is perfect. I also love that now Chrome can run a lot of Android apps. I run a lot of the same apps that my Google Pixel phone can run, including some games. In addition, it can now run Linux at the same time as Chrome with the simple click of a button in the settings. I installed a couple of Linux apps just to test it out, and it's pretty cool, like GIMP or LibreOffice. My only gripe with the Linux is that I can't copy and paste between the Linux apps and the Chrome/Android apps. The Intel CoreM processor seems to handle everything like a champ, whether it's having open 20 tabs with 2 screens, or playing an intense Android game. Oh, and I haven't had any issues with the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth so far.

Downsides: Overall, this computer fits my needs almost perfectly. Perhaps the only glaring con I will mention is the speakers. They're really not very loud. Even at full blast it can be difficult to hear in a room with a moderate noise level. Luckily I don't need this feature very often.

TL;DR: I highly recommend this Chromebook to power users of Chrome. It's features and build quality are well worth the higher price.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this laptop!!!
Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2020
Configuration: m3/4GB/64GBVerified Purchase
I’m not a tech person so bear with me on this review..
I love this laptop! I had done some research on chromebooks after I decided to not spend tons of money on a MacBook. I am a grad student and need a laptop that would be good for word processing (I only use google docs anyways) and watching Hulu and Netflix. This laptop totally met and exceeded all my expectations and I love it.

It’s very light and thin, and fits perfectly in my backpack. I am obsessed with how there are charger ports on either side!!!

I don’t use the ‘flip’ that much, but it is nice sometimes. I kind of forget that it’s an option but I often have to read long PDF articles and turning it into a tablet and using a stylus to highlight is pretty nice. Also, the speakers are on the very bottom which is not the best sound so if I’m really trying to zone out and watch a movie I will flip it so the speakers are up and the keyboard isn’t between me and the screen. it sounds great like that! The speakers are actually decently loud.

The battery life thing on this is amazing. It can last me all 8 hours while I’m at school and usually can charge my phone as well. I’ve had it for about 6 months and have lately started noticing the battery life is maybe not quite as long lasting as it was when I got it, but I’m still really impressed.

Again I’m not a tech person. I chose this laptop because of Wirecutter’s review and because my fiancée said the specs looked good compared to other chromebooks I was considering. For my purposes, it works great. It’s fast loading webpages, fast downloads, never have a problem streaming anything. Performance wise it is excellent.

The only time I get slightly annoyed with it is that sometimes it drops to WiFi signal for no apparent reason. I can’t absolutely guarantee that this is because of the laptop and not my router, but it happens other places as well. It’s not a constant problem but sometimes I’ll be doing something and all the sudden I will have no internet and i will have to click to the network settings and then it suddenly will be reconnecting to the network. It only happens maybe a couple times a week and it didn’t happen at the beginning.

It should be said that with a chromebook there are a few drawbacks. There are sometimes when it’s frustrating to not be able to get the “desktop” version of an app/website, like Spotify. You can either use Spotify web or get the android app for Spotify, and both of these have slightly less functionality than the desktop app that you could install on a windows or PC. That’s just an example but yeah sometimes there are slightly annoying things about running chrome OS but overall I can do everything I need to do and I’m super happy with this purchase. I recommend this laptop to everyone!!!

Cons
Speakers on the bottom, slightly muffle the sound unless you flip it.
Battery life slightly diminished after 6 months of regular use
Sometimes dropped WiFi signal for a couple seconds and needs to reconnect

Pros
Speakers are lOud
Excellent battery life
Touch screen works great
Nice keyboard
Very fast loading webpages, streaming, etc.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Chromebook Evolved (almost)
Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2019
Configuration: m3/4GB/64GBVerified Purchase
I purchased the C434 very near first availability date on Amazon after highly anticipating it's arrival. I've always been a fan of Chromebooks and anxiously anticipated upgrading to this work of art (and it really is beautiful). The build quality is excellent. The screen is amazing with those wonderful little bezels. The screen is bright and responsive and is a joy to look at and interact with in almost every respect. The computer screams quality. All of that said, after about three weeks with the C434, I decided to return it and ended up purchasing the HP X360. Here are my reasons.

One of the initial reviews of the C434 complained about the keyboard. The person's complaint didn't relate to the tactile interaction with the keyboard (which is good) but rather to the viewing of the keys on the keyboard (white on metal). My initial thought on this, prior to receiving my own C434, was that this reviewer must be very short-sighted to return the computer for such a minor complaint. However, he or she was absolutely correct. In the spirit of creating a very contemporary keyboard, the white letters on the aluminum keyboard results in a very difficult layout to see in daylight. I would need to tilt and move the keyboard to position my hands properly (and I type very fast by touch so this is not a hunt and peck complaint). In dim light with the backlight on, the keyboard transforms into a wonderful experience, but using it during the day was a frustration for me I couldn't get over.

I was also disappointed in performance. Since I was an early adopter, I have the 4GB model with the core i3m processor. For light web surfing and simple tasks it's fine, but if I wanted to view my Google photos, for example, or use the Android version of Lightroom from the App Store, there is a definite lag in performance. I'm not sure if this relates to the 4GM of RAM or the i3m processor, but once I upgraded to the X360 (8 GB of RAM and a i3 U processor) it was an entirely preferred performance experience.

So, to conclude, here is my compare and contrast of the C434 with the HP X360.

Price
The HP X360 seems to be constantly on sale from it's $600 list price. I got it for $450 but it can be had for as little as $399. Great value at either of these reduced price options. I was going to hold out for the C434 i5 with 8GB of RAM but I ultimately concluded that that price point would not come close to the X360 at its discounted price.

Screen
The C434 is brighter and much nicer and has those little bezels. This is the one aspect of the C434 I miss the most. The X360 has only a bearable screen brightness and color output as compared to the C434, but ultimately this was a tradeoff I was willing to make (although I still struggle with).

Weight
The C434 is about 1/2 pound less in weight and is marginally smaller. Again, I would opt for the C434 in this case but the real world difference is really not that significant.

Keyboard
I love typing on the X360. It's got a great feel and travel and nice backlight. The C434 was fine at night but that keyboard during the day was awful to use because of the white on metal.

Performance
Hands down the X360 wins. Ok , it has a fan that comes on occasionally, but it smokes the C434 with any use other than normal web surfing or simple applications. Using the X360 with the better processor and RAM is a joy compared to the C434. Also, as an aside, I have noticed that Google Play Apps seem to run better on the X360 but I'm not sure why? For example, I have an app that gives me notifications and when I clicked on the C434 it would not take me to the App but I have no problem at all with the X360 properly behaving in this regard.

Conclusion
If you want a stylish Chromebook and your needs are limited to web surfing and light Applications, go for the C434. If, however, performance is at all a concern and you plan to do some work or moderate play, I would opt for the X360. Both are wonderful machines in their own right and it's a pleasure to see the evolution of the Chromebook.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great computer overall

I really love this flip computer and im happy with this brand in general. The first flip i had was the original smaller 10" Asus and i still use that although its outdated and i cant update the software anymore. This one is no exception, it's much bigger, faster and easy to use. I rarely use it in tablet mode although it's there if i need it. I don't like the glare on the screen so i bought a generic matte screen for it and that solved the issue. The only real gripe i have is that the hinge connection is very loose and i don't know how to fix it. Any time i move my laptop around the screen falls back flat pretty easily. It's fine if it's just sitting on my desk once i move it falls like it's greased. I've never had an issue like this. Laptops should be made so that it can open up to any angle and stay in place. I dont know if it's just this particular one i received or if others are having the same issue.

Update: After nearly 2 years, the laptop screen suddenly went black for no apparent reason, right in the middle of using it. I have always taken great care of this computer, I loved it so much. But now there is not even a light when I plug in the charger. It is completely dead and I have no idea what is wrong. How do I fix this issue ASUS??

5.0 out of 5 stars After 4 tries finally found the right Chromebook

My Acer 14 that I bought in January 2016 finally had an issue with the power port that I didn't chose to resolve although I loved the computer. It introduced me to Chrome OS and was a rugged, inexpensive computer with great battery life. My first replacement was an Acer Spin 713 that was a sleek, rugged Chromebook. I had to return this because of an issue with the sound. When I listened to Spotify, audio would break up and make popping sounds when I was using the browser on a different page. Since I am always listening to music when I work this was a deal breaker. Next I tried a HP Chromebook, 2-in-1, 14C-CA0053DX. Tried to resolve 2 out of the box issues with HP support. Bluetooth randomly disconnecting and 3 finger gesture only working some of the time. Customer support could not resolve these issues and said I would have to send it in for repair. I returned it instead. Now I decided to save some money and go with a basic Acer 14 inch Chromebook. There weren't any issues with the computer but it just didn't have the build quality of my 2016 Acer 14 and so I returned it.
Finally I purchased the Asus Chromebook Flip C434 and after about a month using this Chromebook have to say I love it! It has great build quality and a beautiful touch screen display. The only fault is that the backlit keyboard is a little weird and I have to turn it off or on depending on the room lighting because it can be difficult to see the characters. A very minor issue for me and the only negative I can find so far. For $419 that I spent on this Chromebook I got a lot.
