People may be put off by the Chromebook Flip CX5’s pricing, but it truly is that excellent. It’s tough enough to endure jolts and jostles in a bag or briefcase, and it has a distinctive velvety texture that’s incredibly comfortable to handle. Add a plethora of ports, a smooth and comfy keyboard, and a vibrant display, and you’ve got a chassis that can compete with many midrange Windows laptops.
The performance of the CX5 is equally excellent. We never heard its fan once during our tests, even when subjecting it to a workload that would normally slow down most devices. The battery life is quite good and easily lasted us all day. And the audio on the CX5 was some of the loudest we’ve ever heard from a Chromebook. While the CX5 isn’t flawless, it’s a good all-around performer.
Pricing – $700
