ASUS - 11.6" Chromebook - Intel Celeron - 4GB Memory - 32GB eMMC Flash Memory - Red

My phone and computer usage is heavily centered on the Google ecosystem. For example, I always keep my documents stored in Google Docs, so that I can get to them from anywhere, and so that I don't have to worry about backing up my computer. When my Mac desktop died, found this Chromebook at Best Buy for about a hundred bucks, and with 2 years of software updates coming. I've always wanted to try one, and this seemed like a low-risk opportunity. Almost all of my computer activity these days is done via a web browser, and this machine can handle all of those tasks just fine. After I adjusted the scroll direction, it's just about like using my Mac. For a hundred bucks, I can really do everything I need to do. I expect to stick with Chromebooks for the foreseeable future. The laptop itself is very small and lightweight. There are a couple of minuses, though, that you should be aware of. "Small and lightweight" is both a virtue and a shortcoming. The screen is small, with a large bezel. The plastic case and its keyboard feel cheap and flimsy, especially when compared to the satisfying rigidity and heft of an all-aluminium MacBook. But for $100, I still feel like it's a great value, and perfectly usable. The second shortcoming is a relatively grainy camera. You won't look as good as your colleagues in your next Zoom meeting. Again, still usable, though. The third shortcoming is a relative lack of processing power. For almost everything I do, this is not an issue - there's plenty for word processing, web browsing, video watching, etc. There's not quite enough for a smooth Zoom experience, though. People tell me there's a bit of video lag from my end. Again, I can Zoom, but it's just not as smooth as I'd like. Overall, I got a dirt cheap computer that lets me do everything I need to do. I'm happy!

Not the fastest laptop out there but good for basic functions. Had it almost a week now and will be great for basic documents, emails, web surfing. I am receiving a warranty extension from ASUS for my feedback.

I bought a couple of these back in November and could not be happier with my purchase. Plus by writing this review i'm going to get a free 90 day warranty extension.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My new ASUS has a STRIKINGLY better screen than my last chromebook - clarity, contrast, and detail seem much enhanced. Keyboard feel is quite good with precise action while typing. USB-C power receptacle seems a great advance over pin-types, the downfall of my last chromebook. Screen also seems much sturdier when folding notebook with no detectable wobble. Very pleasing laptop to use. My son works for Intel so the processor is a plus, but I am very biased in that area. Highly recommended.

I purchased the ASUS chromebook CX22N for my 15 year old daughter for Christmas and she absolutely loves it! I am also receiving a warranty extension from ASUS for my feedback!
