Note: I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion.
We purchased this Asus Chromebook (CM3401FF) primarily for our son who is in year 2. We wanted an Android-compatible system so he could use educational apps not available on regular laptops. This 2in1 laptop/tablet didn’t disappoint all the apps we could need are available and easy to install.
I believe this Chromebook is excellent value for the features it has.
The stand-out features for us are the:
performance (no lag in anything we do),
battery life (seems to last 2-3 times longer than our work laptops that are only 12m old) and
easy of use, the screen flips so it can be used like a tablet or partially flipped so it’s like a tablet on a stand (this is the best way for a child to use as the keyboard is not needed and they don't need hold it or lay it flat (which is uncomfortable to use).
The touchscreen display is perfect for using educational apps etc.
The only negative would be the weight, it's quite heavy at around 1.9KG vs a work laptop we have of a similar size at 1.3kg.
Overall is a great system that is easy to use and learn. The Chromebook screen layout is very similar to Win11 so moving between the two is not that steep of a learning curve. The biggest issue we had was not being able to right click but eventually, we learned clicking with 2 fingers is how you do a right click so problem solved 😊
