I love me a Chromebook. Nothing simpler, just what you need to get on the web and work your way through most of what the world needs of you. Most software come as websites and Chromebooks just work perfectly within my realm of Google.
Asus has a new Flip model, the Vibe CX34 which looks just awesome. If it follows the last Chromebook Flip I reviewed, we're in for a treat.
