![]() It measures 0.73 by 14.1 by 9.5 inches and weighs 4.3 pounds, about the same as the last 15.6-inch Chromebook convertible we tested, the now-discontinued Lenovo Yoga Chromebook C630 from May 2019. The Flip CM5 has an aluminum lid and plastic bottom, styled in a nearly black hue Asus calls Mineral Gray. Both have Wi-Fi 6 and a 15.6-inch touch screen with full HD (1,920-by-1,080-pixel) resolution. Amazon and Newegg offer a $100-cheaper economy model with a dual-core Ryzen 3 CPU, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of eMMC flash storage. Our review unit (model CM5500FDA-IS588T) is a $599.99 Costco configuration with AMD's quad-core, 2.1GHz Ryzen 5 3500C processor, 8GB of memory, and a 128GB NVMe solid-state drive. Like all 15.6-inch convertibles, the Asus is too heavy and unwieldy for comfort in tablet mode, but it's a perky, well-equipped, and affordable option for going online and Google Workspace productivity. And hardly any Chromebooks have handy Home, End, Page Up, and Page Down keys-you have to team the menu and Alt keys with the cursor arrows-but the Flip CM5's backlit keyboard includes them. Not many Chromebooks have HDMI ports, obliging you to fuss with a USB-C DisplayPort dongle to connect an external monitor, but the Asus has one. Windows convertible laptops have nothing on the Asus Chromebook Flip CM5 (starts at $499.99 $599.99 as tested).
