\nAs you might expect, the Flip CX5 (CX5500) is a bit of a beast. I\u2019ve reviewed many Chromebooks recently, and the pattern is towards sleek, lightweight devices. Asus throws this out the window and delivers something quite different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The expansive 358 x 24 x 19mm chassis is easily the biggest I\u2019ve encountered for a device running Chrome OS, not to mention the hefty 1.95kg at which it tips the scales. This is not your typical, chuck it in your backpack and forget about it Chromebook, but that\u2019s by no means a bad thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With so many of us working more from home in these days of Covid, having a honking big laptop isn\u2019t really an issue as we only have to carry it from the kitchen to the front room. Plus, a bigger display might help with tired eyes and sore necks that arise from being hunched over smaller screens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The design itself is quite attractive, though, with the aluminium alloy lid covered in a material that Asus states gives it \u2018an elegant, ceramic-like texture for a gentle, simple aesthetic\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
