About this deal

ASUS Chromebook Flip CX1 laptops undergo multiple laptop quality tests but are not subject to all tests stated. The testing data includes the requirements of both military-grade standards and ASUS quality tests. Based on Chromium OS power Load Test. Battery performance is based on a mix of standby, web browsing and other use. Charging time requires the battery to be at least 5% charged, with the device inactive and using the included charger. Actual battery life depends on usage, specifications, applications and environment, among other factors. Of course, it runs on Google’s Chrome OS. This lightweight operating system places the onus on online applications and usage, though it’s not without offline functionality.

The same thing is also true once you lift up the lid of the CX1, as you’re greeted with a compact 60% keyboard layout and an awful lot of empty space. Other laptops with this chassis space will at least provide you with a number pad, which would have been welcome here. Chromebooks have always been the bastion of budget computing, and Asus’ large-screen candidate – the CX1 – aims to sustain that trend. Given the CX1’s status as a wallet-friendly Chromebook, I had no real expectations on it to do anything but the basics well.

Ultimately, every design choice appears to stem from wanting to have a 15.6-inch display, but without considering if this was even a good idea. The dimness of the display makes it all but unusable anywhere but inside, and chances are that extra screen real estate is just going to give you more to look at in frustration when the app you're running hangs or slows down due to the underpowered hardware. For a laptop with a 15.6-inch display, it feels quite hefty with a total weight of 1.8kg. This puts it on the heavier side of the market, but I found it still feels pretty portable if you do need to take it on your travels.

Actual performance may vary. Perhaps most impressively of all, the Asus Chromebook CX1500 has undergone industry-leading MIL-STD 810H4 US military tests, which means it’ll stand up to more rough and tumble than your average laptop. We’re talking extremes of temperature ranging from 50 to zero degrees, 85% humidity, 25kg of pressure, and more. In our video loop test, the CX1 lasted just shy of 10 hours, which means it falls behind other budget Chromebooks by two or three hours in some instances. This is clear the moment you look at its spec sheet, which offers up an Intel Celeron N3350 processor alongside 32GB of eMMC storage and 4GB of RAM. These are very entry-level specs, even by Chromebook standards.If we talk about the Asus Chromebook CX15, the 4GB+64GB variant is priced at Rs.19,990, the 4GB+128GB model is priced at Rs.20,990, and the 8GB+64GB variant is priced at Rs.21,990.

The stated width of the side bezel is the distance between the edge of the non-active screen display area and the inside edge of the case. If the case width is included, the side bezel width is 6.76 mm. The stated width of the bottom bezel is the distance between the edge of the non-active screen display area and the visible edge of the display when the laptop is opened to 90 °. These measurements are based on the standard (without anti-glare) display configuration. There are some areas where the CX1500 does well, like its 10 hour 18 minute battery life, but that's pretty much standard for Chromebooks nowadays. You'd think that a chip with a TDP of just 6W and a display with just 220 nits of brightness should at least squeeze out some extra juice. But there's only so much you can get out of 38WHrs. With a laptop this big, there is plenty of room to accommodate a bigger battery, even just an extra 10WHr would have been enough to get us to maybe 14 hours.

On a brighter note, the screen bezel on the sides are small enough to make sure the CX1 offers up a good screen to body ratio. This also meant viewing angles were pretty decent.

Actual performance may vary.The best thing that can be said about the Asus Chromebook CX1500 is that it has a solid number and variety of ports, which is good because you'll need to rely heavily on flash drives if you want to save files locally. With just 32GB eMMC Flash storage, there's very little room for lots of photos, videos, or Android apps from Google Play. ASUS Chromebook Flip CX1 is certified with ASUS WiFi Master for ChromeOS.

Water damage is possible if the product is submerged or exposed to large amounts of liquids for long periods of time. ASUS standard limited warranty does not cover problems resulting from accidents such as water damage. To prevent water damage resulting from large spills or other accidents, ASUS recommends turning off the notebook, then tilting the laptop to drain away the excess liquid, wipe off and let it dry for at least 24 hours. The Asus Chromebook CX1 isn’t going to turn many heads with its design or build quality. While its silver colouring and smooth finish on the top surface look fine, I can’t help but feel underwhelmed by the way the CX1 feels in hand. By contrast to other more budget Chromebooks like the Acer Chromebook 314, it just feels generic.
