Whether or not you share my enthusiasm for Chromebooks is debatable. Chromebooks are great when you only need a basic computer. But as time goes on, we witness them develop into more than simply basic machines.

This is where the Asus Chromebook Vibe CX43 Flip comes in. It’s one of the few Chromebooks that can run games, and it was just announced at CES this year, so count me in. On addition to being able to play games hosted in the cloud, this device also functions as a tablet because of its rotatable screen. It may serve several purposes. Come along as I get into the specifics.

The high-end version has a Core i7-1255U processor, Intel Iris Xe graphics, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of PCIe NVMe SSD storage. The strength of it is shocking. Its hardware seems capable of providing swift operation. Furthermore, the 14-inch screen is rather pleasant. The screen’s resolution is 1920 by 1200, its aspect ratio is 16:10 (wow, plenty of real estate), and its refresh rate is a speedy 144 hertz. This necessitates fluidity in the aesthetics. The screen supports touches and Asus throws in a pen for use with it. The layout is also quite eye-catching. The all-white chassis looks sleek and expensive, but the orange WASD keys and RGB lights give it that gaming vibe.

When the first quarter of 2023 rolls around, you’ll be able to purchase an Asus Chromebook Vibe CX34 Flip. The cost has not been announced, though. However, a SteelSeries Rival 3 gaming mouse will be included in the Chromebook’s box when it finally hits shelves. I like the extra value you provided there.
