The ASUS Chromebook Vibe CX55 Flip features a 15.6-inch display with a maximum resolution of 1080p, but it’s a touchscreen with a higher refresh rate of 144Hz. As the name implies, the CX55, like many other ASUS Chromebooks, can be flipped over into “tablet” and “tent” modes. The keyboard lacks RGB illumination, but it does feature a prominent orange accent, notably around the important WASD keys; it also has 1.4mm of travel.
The CX55 is equipped with 11th-generation Intel CPUs and may be ordered with an i3, i5, or i7. The i3 model is equipped with Intel UHD graphics, and the i5 and i7 variants are outfitted with Intel Iris X graphics. It will offer 8GB or 16GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage space. The CX55, unsurprisingly, offers two USB-C connectors as well as USB-A and HDMI interfaces. The laptop will also be available this month, and Google said in a briefing that price would begin at $399 – we don’t know what features are included, but it’s probably fair to assume it’s the i3 model.
