Pros and Cons

Asus Chromebook CM14 Flip

Strengths

The garage USI 2.0 stylus is a great selling point and easy to use.
It's a pretty versatile device with convertible nature that opens up a number of ways of using it.
Battery life is balanced against performance, allowing for general use throughout the day and into a second day.
The speakers are loud and have good quality, especially when on a flat surface like a desk.
It's great for light gaming and browsing with the Mediatek Compano 520 processor handling games like Real Racing 3 smoothly.

Weaknesses

The build is all plastic and has an extra smooth top that feels unpleasant and attracts fingerprints easily.
Weight is not the lightest at 1.56 kg, making some allowance for the touchscreen necessary.
The webcam is standard 720p and doesn't blow you away, though it does have a manual privacy slider.
The touchpad feels cheap with slight movement when tapping and a bit of noise too.
Some CM14 Flip model options don't come with the optional stylus, even if they support the stylus on their screen.
