Asus Chromebook CB34 Flip CB3401FBA [CB3401FBA-LZ0101]

Durability and Water Resistance

The Asus laptop with a matte plastic casing meets the MIL-STD-810 military reliability standard. This means enhanced mechanical strength, the ability to operate stably in extremely low and high temperatures, as well as in other adverse conditions. Additional reliability is provided by a backlit and water-resistant keyboard. Of course, it's not advisable to deliberately pour liquids on it, but accidental moisture exposure will not harm the internal components of the device.

Convertible with Included Stylus

The Asus Chromebook CB34 Flip CB3401FBA model is equipped with the brand's ErgoLift hinge, which allows the lid to open 360 degrees and use the device as a tablet. The laptop features a 14-inch touchscreen, and the package includes a stylus. It's convenient for taking notes, working with documents, or creating quick sketches. The stylus has its own slot in the body where it is stored and automatically recharges. The manufacturer claims that just 15 seconds in the compartment is enough for up to 45 minutes of usage.

Good Performance for Chrome OS

The device is equipped with a 10-core Intel Core i7 1255U processor and integrated Iris Xe Graphics G7 with 96 execution units. This combination is more than sufficient for comfortable work in the Chrome OS environment, including using cloud gaming. However, the operating system itself is mostly geared towards office tasks, learning, and internet surfing, rather than running resource-intensive software. It's worth noting that by modern standards, the 8 GB of RAM seems modest.

The laptop comes with a 512 GB SSD, proprietary Harman Kardon acoustics, and a set of popular interfaces, including two USB-C ports with data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps. The 63 Wh battery provides approximately up to 10 hours of autonomous work. The IPS display supports a resolution of 1920x1200 pixels, has medium brightness up to 300 nits, and a limited color gamut of about 45% NTSC.
