The new ASUS Chromebook is shown, by mistake

Newegg mistakenly leaked a new ASUS Chromebook, with new features that make it very attractive.

Some time ago ASUS introduced the Flip computer, based on Google's operating system for laptops. This Chromebook, but it was a very basic and inconspicuous model, but ASUS would have thought of doing a facelift. The review would have appeared by surprise on the Newegg portal and would be the C302CA model, which would have an improvement in terms of hardware and which would logically have a higher price, but which is a great option for those who want a Chromebook than versatility.

This new equipment has improved a lot and one of the great improvements is a 12-inch screen with a resolution of 1080p. The screen will apparently be tactile and it will also be convertible, with which, it is positioned very well. The engine of this team is an Intel Core m3, a low consumption and discrete power processor, but much more powerful than the Rockchip of the original ASUS Flip, which offers us an increase in power.

The new alternative from ASUS, has 4G of RAM and will have an internal storage capacity of 64GB, has two USB Type-C ports and a microSD card reader, making it an extremely powerful device with brutal connectivity, something very rare in a market where more modest connectivity is used, such as USB 3.0 ports, at best.

Do not bother to go find this team in Newegg, which has already been deleted from the web, therefore, we can say that its publication has been a failure. This also suggests that this laptop will be presented at CES 2017 in Las Vegas. This equipment appeared for the price of € 499, which is a great alternative for those who want a light and compact laptop, with good features and who like to work on the nine, thanks to Chrome OS, a 'desktop' version of Android.
