Chromebooks seemed like an interesting thing, especially when I found out Google Play was coming. I tried an Acer Chromebook 14 ($299) and it was alright, but no touchscreen was too much of a dealbreaker for me and the performance wasn't great. Ended up sending it back. Then I tried the newer Acer Chromebook 13.3 ($399) with the touchscreen and Google Play on beta. The touchscreen however just had too many issues with not registering consistently in tablet mode, it was a bit too bulky and again performance was so-so. I ended up sending that one back too. Both of the Chromebooks I tried also had multiple dead pixel issues. I kind of gave up on finding what I wanted for a bit and figured I'd just wait for something better to come along.
Well it didn't take long! Once I saw that this and the Samsung Chromebook Pro line were coming I started researching again. Eventually decided I'd give this ASUS a shot (but expected I'd probably end up going with the Samsung, their products have personally never disappointed me). I didn't make it that far. I've been using this laptop for about 3 weeks now and it has been fantastic. The trackpad and backlit keyboard are great. I have owned many laptops over the years and I can't say I've ever had a better experience on either front. Chrome's trackpad shortcuts are a big reason why. Normally I just connect a mouse and forget about trackpads, but I feel no need to do that with this laptop. The backlight on the keyboard is battery friendly with several variable lighting options (use the Alt + Screen Brighten/Dim key to adjust).
The full HD display is perfect for me. At the end of the day I'll take better battery life over a slightly sharper screen. This is especially true with Chromebooks as from what I understand Chrome OS and higher def screens don't really play well together. Honestly even at 1080p when using this in tablet mode I sometimes have to tap a couple times while navigating because the targets are so small. It would be great if they could add the magnifying feature from Android (where you click on something and if it isn't sure what you meant it will enlarge the area so you can more easily tap what you want). Colors, viewing angles, etc.. no complaints here. Battery life is as expected. Maybe not quite as good as advertised but it rarely is. It isn't far off.
Connectivity is solid. Two USB-C ports futureproofs the device a good bit. USB-C is the next standard and soon pretty much all of your accessories will be using it, and I personally hate and always lose dongles. You've also got micro SD for extra storage.
Performance is buttery. Seamless transition from laptop to tablet mode, ~21k Octane score. Far and away better than the other 2 Chromebooks I test drove. No doubt the Intel Core M processor is a huge help here.
The bulk is admittedly still a little much for a pure tablet user but I mean it's hard to expect this area to be perfect when you're going from strictly tablet to a 2 in 1. Having the keyboard and trackpad in the back is still a very strange feeling but not something I can't get used to.
Besides, the build quality makes the bulk WORTH IT! This thing is gorgeous. Solid metal and the hinges feel extremely sturdy. It's very sleek and could easily be mistaken for a high end laptop if not for the Chrome badging. The somewhat odd 12.5 inch size is spot on for me. Just large enough that when you're using as a laptop you don't feel cramped or limited but just small enough that using it as a tablet doesn't feel totally ridiculous.
About the only con I can think of is the price. At 500 bucks you're pushing into a price range where many solid traditional laptop options are available. It wasn't a huge deal for me. I spent about the same amount on my last tablet and as far as I was concerned that's what I was purchasing a replacement for.
With the addition of Android apps on Chrome, the Chrome OS provides the perfect level of functionality now in my opinion for all but power users. It loads lightning fast (~7 seconds cold boot, instant wake up), shuts down practically immediately and is extremely user friendly. No worrying about updates, drivers or Antivirus. It just works. And, if you're feeling a little adventurous, it isn't hard to install Linux on a Chromebook for an actual full fledged laptop experience. This device in particular is a great candidate for that since it packs more hardware capability with the Intel Core M than most other Chromebooks out there. You also get double the storage of most Chromebooks (64 gb vs 32).
Overall through 3 weeks I can't say enough good things about this Chromebook. I really feel ASUS has hit a home run here and hopefully I won't run into any unforeseen issues now that I've touted its amazing-ness. Give it a try!
I work at an enterprise software company and have a very technical position, but I'm not a developer per-se. I need access to Webex/GoToMeeting/Skype Meeting, VMWare, Hyper-V, Remote Desktop, RemoteApp, IE (for legacy apps), Notepad++, 7zip, Adobe Professional, Palo Alto VPN, Camtasia Recorder, and others. Most of this stuff I use on a day to day basis. So could I use this Asus Chromebook instead of my Lenovo PC I got from work? Not really, but I can use them together.
There are some apps that I can't use on this Chromebook, such as RemoteApp, VMWare, Hyper-V, and VPN and Camtasia. The others I can find some online version that will do just fine. The workaround is to use TeamViewer or Chrome Remote Desktop to RDP into my Lenovo and use the apps that I need. It's a janky solution but I think it's one that works. I'm sacrificing convenience for portability and battery life.
Having access to the Play store is a big plus because I can still access MS OneDrive, Word/Excel/PowerPoint/OneNote, Skype for Business, and more. The one annoyance is that Office 365 doesn't provide a seamless way to save file offline and sync up when you're online. OneDrive does provide this functionality, but it only opens the files on the MS Office app installed. The problem is that if I save a file for offline access in OneDrive, when I open that word doc using the native Word app, it opens it in read-only format. If I want to make changes and save those changes, I need to save a copy, make the changes and then upload the new copy to OneDrive. The alternative is to make sure I open my file in Office 365 before I go online so that I can work with it offline. This is kind of a pain and I'm hoping it gets better in the near future.
Regarding the Chromebook itself:
-The keyboard is great and has a nice gentle/quiet click to it.
-The keys themselves don't travel that much which I prefer.
-The trackpad, while a little on the small size, has a nice glass smooth finish and it works reliable well.
-The screen size is an awkward 16:9 and provides a 1920x1080 resolution (although the default is set to 1536x864). Not great when looking at websites or working on word documents, but it gets you by. Would've prefer a 3:2 ratio instead.
-The touchscreen works great and is very responsive. Most of the time I forget that its there until I remember and use it for another 5-10 minutes before I forget again. I don't usually use this in tablet mode since that's not the reason for my purchase, but I'm sure it'll perform admirably.
-The build quality is great but not necessarily impressive. While it is an aluminum body, something about it just feels a little cheap. Maybe because it doesn't seem to have any heft to it or because it feels like a plastic/aluminum hybrid. I honestly can't put my finger on it but it doesn't really scream out premium to me.
-The battery is a respectable 8 solid hours even when I have webex, 20+ tabs, word, excel, powerpoint, skype for business, onenote, and 5 other apps running and screen brightness at 75%.
-Performance wise, the Chromebook does a great job at managing the RAM to the apps that need it. I'm usually peaked with RAM (~95%) which is good because it's better used than not used. I haven't felt any noticeable lag as I'm switching applications or what not. Some apps have crashed on me, but I'm guessing that's because I'm on the beta channel to have access to the Play store and not all the quirks have been figured out.
-The Play Store, well it's the play store. If you're familiar with Android, then you've got access to the same stuff here. It does install the "tablet" version of the app which is nice, but they don't really have any "chromebook" versions yet. Tablet works just fine though.
-Regarding the ports, 2 USB Type-C can be limiting but I bought the Dell adapter to connect regular USB, VGA, HDMI and Ethernet. I hooked up a bluetooth mouse that works fairly well and inserted an extra 64GB Micro-SD card for storage. Still can't figure out how to install apps on the SD card though.
-Chrome OS is pretty nice and since I'm a big Android fan, it feels more or less like home. I did install Chrome OS (Chromium) on a bootable USB drive and used it on my Lenovo PC before making the purchase so I could test the waters so to speak. There are some limitations with Chromium but it's enough to get my feet wet.
Ahh this is turning out to be a longer review than I thought. To summarize, if you're looking at this to use for both personal and business and got some apps that you know for sure won't work on Chromebooks, there is hope with RDP/TeamViewer. For 99% of the people looking at Chromebooks right now for personal use, this Asus is probably the best choice in the market (over the HP 13, Acer 14, and Dell Chromebook). Jury's still out on the Samsung Chromebook Plus/Pro.

Super bon laptop, clavier retro-éclairé avec des bonnes touches agréables, en masse de Ram pour un chromebook et même avec Ubuntu Desktop aucun problème. Écran touchscreen très bien éclairé et image clair et pure. Batterie dure très longtemps et il fait pas de bruit du tout. Les speaker sont très fort et clair aussi pour un petit laptop. Je l'ai depuis quelques mois et je suis encore aujourd'hui super content. Achetez vous un adaptateur usb-c à usb-a, c'est le futur usb c mais c'est pas partout encore. Batterie peux charger par les 2 ports usbc, bien pratique.
Great laptop all-around, backlit keyboard with good key travel and feel, more than enough Ram for a chromebook and even Ubuntu desktop works well.Touchscreen works well and the screen backlight is enough, crisp and bright display. Battery life is very good and the laptop makes no sound. The speakers play well, very loud and clear for a laptop. I've had it for a few months and I am still very happy with it. Consider buying a Usb-c to Usb-a adapter. Usbc is the future but there is still a lot of devices using A-type. Battery can also charge from both usbc holes, very convenient.
Now I have been using this device for nearly a year and haven't found any issues with it.
Am into android and Google ecosystem since 2010 and am sure a lot of Indians are too. So this machine fit well with me be it browsing the net or researching for articles and doing similar stuff.
I have never had to close any of the tabs or apps due to any reason till now...usually work on Chrome browser and Google docs with music from either spotify or Google play music. No issues watching HD movies or streaming them to the TV.
Charges faster than my iPhone and battery lasts twice as long. Stand by time too is amazing and I have hardly ever needed to charge it when in office.
Display is good, so much so that the battle of winterfell (GOT) looked bearable on it as compared with my TV. Sound output too isn't bad though I listen to music at a very low volume.
Typing is another absolutely good thing on this with decent key travel and good layout. Trackpad is also good and gestures work smoothly. Haven't had any accidental touch issue with the trackpad.
Ergonomically, full points.
So the only issue I have is unavailability in India and the high price I had to pay for it.
