Announced during CES 2019, the Asus Chromebook Flip C434 is now available for purchase directly from Asus. You can pick one up for $569.99, with Asus throwing in free shipping.
The true sequel to the original Chromebook Flip, the Chromebook Flip C434 sports an all-aluminum build with a 360-degree hinge. The laptop also features a larger 14-inch, 1,920 x 1,080 display in a body that normally accommodates a 13-inch panel. That gives the Chromebook Flip C434 slim 5mm bezels along the top and sides of the display.
Under the hood, the Chromebook Flip C434 currently offered through Asus only features the Intel Core M3-8100Y processor. Asus told Android Authority at CES 2019 that you can also outfit the laptop with a Core i5-8200Y or Core i7-8500Y processor, though neither option is yet available from Asus.
Also of note: Asus currently sells the Chromebook Flip C434 with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. The laptop supports up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, so perhaps additional models will arrive sometime soon.
Finally, you have two USB-C ports, a regular USB port, a headphone jack, a microSD card slot, and a 48Wh battery that promises up to 10 hours of use.
