From PC Mag: If you're in the market for a new Chromebook and would appreciate it doubling as a tablet, Asus has a couple of new Flip models to sell you.
Asus introduced two new 2-in-1 Flip C436 models this week to its Chromebook line-up, both of which take advantage of Intel's 10th-generation Comet Lake processors. They certainly aren't cheap, though.
The cheaper of the two models costs $799. For that you get a 14-inch Chromebook with a 1080p NanoEdge glossy touchscreen display. Inside is a Core i3-10110U running at 2.1GHz (4.1GHz turbo), 8GB of DDR3 RAM, and a 128GB M.2 PCIe SSD. There's also support for 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) wireless, Bluetooth 5.0, a HD webcam above the display, and an illuminated chiclet keyboard. The 42Whr battery is meant to get you a very respectable 12 hours from a full charge.
If you want a 2-in-1 Chromebook with a little more performance, then the $999 C436 may be worth the extra money. It's mostly the same as the cheaper model, but upgrades the processor to a Core i5-10210U running at 1.6GHz (4.2GHz turbo), there's also 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB M.2 PCIe SSD.
