2017’s crop of Chromebooks have been pretty great, and one of the best models available has been the ASUS C302CA convertible. The slightly more powerful Chromebook is an excellent offering across the board, and now an upgraded model is finally becoming available.
We’ve seen a few new Chromebooks hit the market in 2017, but the majority have been focused toward education, and for good reason. The latest to hit the market comes from ASUS with the new Chromebook Flip C213.
2017 ushered in a new era for Chromebooks with a front and center focus on Android apps. As the year kicked off, we knew there were two big releases coming up, and both debuted back at CES. Leading up to that, attention was on the Samsung Chromebook Pro, but ASUS was in the background working on its own option and, spoiler alert, I think it might be the better choice…
One of the more exciting Chrome OS announcements lately has been ASUS’ new Chromebook Flip C302CA. While its name isn’t too attention grabbing, the Chromebook itself is, offering up fantastic competition to Samsung’s new Chromebooks. However, we’ve known for a while that ASUS would be offering a model of this new machine with 8GB of RAM, but it has been tough to find. Now, ASUS is releasing that model, in the UK…
2017 has seen two big consumer-facing Chromebook releases so far: the Samsung Chromebook Plus/Pro, and the ASUS Chromebook Flip C302CA. Both are a part of the “third phase” of Chromebook design I explained in my Chromebook Plus review, which means that both are clearly designed with Android apps in mind.
I’ve been using both of these machines for the past couple of weeks, and in that time, I’ve come to form opinions about both, and see the strengths and weaknesses of each. So, let’s take a closer look at how the Samsung Chromebook Plus/Pro and ASUS C302CA compare…
As CES 2017 kicks off today, ASUS has just made the ASUS Chromebook Flip 2 (C302) official. The final specs match up pretty closely with previous leaks, but with some surprising and welcome new additions.
One of the devices we’re most excited to see at CES 2017 next week is a Chromebook from ASUS, the C302CA which is otherwise known as the Chromebook Flip 2. The Chromebook has been leaked twice previously from Newegg and Best Buy, but now ChromeUnboxed has gotten their hands on a retail unit, giving us an early look at the device ahead of ASUS’ official announcement.
Just the other day a new ASUS Chromebook popped up over on Newegg, carrying the C302CA model number. The unannounced mid-size Chromebook looked like a fantastic option for Chromebooks, especially with Android apps, but shortly after its first appearance, the listing was taken down. Now, the same model has popped up on Best Buy, this time confirming a few more details and offering up a possible release date.
Even with Andromeda potentially on the horizon, we’re still looking at some awesome things in the Chrome OS world. Android apps are slowly making their way to current Chromebooks, new models have recently hit the market, and even more are on the horizon. However, today we’re getting our first look at a brand new model which seems to be ASUS’ successor to the popular Chromebook Flip.
