This review first appeared in issue 356 ofPC Pro.
Like the former, its a big-screen,2-in-1 convertiblewith a metallic shell and a fastIntel Core i5spec.
Using it as a tablet is a slightly bizarre experience and theres no USI stylus for notes and doodles.
Tent mode is ideal for presentations and entertainment
But its brilliant used in tent mode for ad hoc presentations or entertainment.
Like the old Flip CX5, it meets MIL-STD-810H certification for durability.
Lets get the bad stuff about the screen out of the way.
Unlike many Chromebooks, the finish feels premium
Yet its fairly bright, reaching 325cd/m2, and low black levels mean plenty of punchy contrast.
Either way, this is an excellent option whether youre buying for business or for home.

The screen is large, but don’t expect a huge range of vibrant colors
