I have an Asus Flip, which I love, and use for serious work (I use Ubuntu via crouton). I would be willing to pay a little more for an Intel chip to alleviate the headaches of broken software having ARM has occasionally caused.
The light weight of the Flip was a big factor for me as well, since my main machine was hurting my back, so hopefully these new Chromebooks are around as light.
- ghaff 10y agoI'd be willing to pay good money for an 11" Asus Flip (with or without the flip capability) with great screen resolution, backlit keys, and other high-end features. Increasingly it's my go to travel machine even though I can't run a few applications I like to.
- jessaustin 10y agoCould whatever changes they made to accommodate Android apps, break crouton? dnschneid works at Google, so he could make the necessary updates if given the time, but sometimes I wonder whether crouton will remain a priority...
- blacksmith_tb 10y agoThe new Flip was just announced, it has an Intel CPU (but it's also twice as expensive, sadly): https://www.asus.com/Notebooks/ASUS-Chromebook-Flip-C302CA/ https://www.asus.com/Notebooks/ASUS-Chromebook-Flip-C302CA/
- shams93 10y agoHas a core m7 and 8 gigs of ram, that's fast enough to run Bitwig in crouton
- bostand 10y agoAlso 12.5" instead of 10", which I found very cramped. Also, smaller bezels :)
- ghaff 10y agoLooks interesting. The Samsung seems to have some plusses and minuses. I suspect I'll be getting one or the other over the next few months.
- analog31 10y agoWhat's the touch screen support like, when running Ubuntu?
- joshuakarjala 10y agoConsidering a Flip - mainly for browsing at home and doing light NodeJS development when I didn't bring home my laptop. Any important software broken with the ARM chip?
