Solid for general productivity or casual gaming. Big value if you want both in one platform.
Purchased primarily as a work laptop with the option for streaming games during downtime between classes. (I teach and drive around between locations)Pros:Sturdy, stylish, and the garaged stylus is convenient. The 144hz display is perhaps overkill and likely accounts for a fair bit of the price tag that I’d personally prefer to have seen invested in all-aluminum construction or a better webcam.Chrome OS is a solid platform for general purpose productivity. The hardware is more than sufficient to keep the experience smooth and snappy. The garaged stylus is automatically charged, which is a major improvement over my previous experience of having to recharge my old bamboo stylus every time I wanted to use it because I couldn’t be bothered to remember charging it.The core gimmick of the thing is cloud gaming, and I was pleasantly surprised to find it’s a perfectly pleasant experience. The libraries on these services (Amazon Luna, GForce Now) are limited, but growing. I find the niche they occupy to be providing a solid casual gaming experience on the road, rather than being a serious competitor for a desktop gaming PC. I could see that assessment changing very rapidly if their libraries grow to rival steam.Build quality is solid. The plastic components are finished in a grippy texture and are sturdy enough to feel like it earns the premium price point. Would prefer an all-aluminum construction.Indifferent:Audio is great (for a laptop), but that’s kind of a moot point for me. I’d consider it poor form to use anything but headphones in a public space, and I’ve got a desktop for home use.Cons:There’s a weird bump on the “d” key that annoys me constantly despite being of precisely zero consequence. Probably a minor manufacturing defect.

Good looking Chromebook, but I am sending it back. You might not.
This is a very good looking Chromebook. The build, while on the heavy side, feels very premium and well manufactured.ChromeOS seems to run quite well and blew away my older chromebook in benchmarks.The keyboard feels amazing, but is the annoying light gray that ASUS likes to use that can make the keyboard almost impossible to read with backlight on and in certain lighting conditions. It’s easy enough to toggle that on or off, and with this being a “gamer” keyboard, some of the other colors that you can select were not as bad as white, but with the black text on the gray keycaps it’s just not as easy to read as white text on keycaps.The reason I’m returning the Chromebook is because I experienced audio issues throughout the few weeks that I’ve had it. The device just wouldn’t output audio until restarted. ChromeOS is fully up-to-date and it also reported all firmware was current. The audio issues happened on-device and also while casting to a TV. In each instance, restarting resolved it and the audio worked as expected.If this wasn’t a premium priced Chromebook, I might have lived with that annoyance, but at this price point, I’d expect the basics to work without issue.There’s a chance I had a bad unit, or that it will get fixed eventually with software, but at this time, and at this price point, that wasn’t something I wanted to risk on waiting for with the return window closing.

ASUS is king of the Chromebook
When my old ASUS Flip finally reached the end of it’s update life, I figured, “why mess with success” and so I searched for a new Asus chromebook to replace it. This ASUS CX34 Chromebook is billed as a “Gaming Chromebook” but what really drew me were the off the chart specs! This Chromebook is fast, bright, loud, with a brilliant, beautiful display and very versatile as a tablet because of the hinge! Love the touchscreen and the lighted keyboard as well. And it doesn’t hurt that the AUE is not till 2032!

This glitched out after 60 days. Not sure what happened but its not useable
Worked fine for about 60 days and then just recently started to glitch out where you were not able to select any apps.

Compact but heavy
My experience was so so, keyboard lights barely manageable, the heavy weight making it looks fragile, heat exhaust designed very smart but heating like heater in a room. But this isn’t major problem, major problem with blinking/flashing screen during watching any video, on YouTube, on Netflix itc. My eyes was almost bleeding after 1-3 minutes of watching. So easy question, how to even play a games 🎮 if it’s badly blinking?

Outstanding Chromebook as it should for the price.
I use this constantly to code on with Android Studio and VS Code. This laptop is well built, well spec’d and with Chrome OS is very secure while also running Linux and Android very well. Having a built-in micro sd card reader is a huge plus to add in storage for media files (that are fine running on storage slower than a SSD).My only issue is occasionally audio on Linux apps stops working but closing the lid for a few seconds (putting it to sleep) and opening it back up fixes it. This is a known Chrome OS bug.It’s a very good machine and highly recommended.

So disappointed
It’s beautiful, I was so excited to start using it, but immediately upon powerup it began restarting randomly. Hardware reset and power wash was of no help, much like Amazon technical support. Amazon’s resolution was to refund regardless of the 4 year warranty I purchased to accompany it. I’ll have the time to reconsider replacement order while I wait for its return and my refund.
