ASUS announces 14-inch Chromebook Flip C434 with premium metal body, edge-to-edge display

-

Prior to CES, ASUS announced a slew of education-focused Chrome OS products, and now we've got one for the consumers. At CES 2019, ASUS has revealed a new premium metal body, edge-to-edge 14-inch Chromebook called the Chromebook Flip C434.

The Chromebook Flip C434 is a 2-in-1 device, ditching the usual plastic we see on such laptops for an all-metal construction. Made of a lightweight aluminium, it has a 14-inch Full HD touchscreen that is edge-to-edge, within the usual footprint of a 13-inch device.

There is also a front-facing camera which remains on the top-edge of the front display, instead of the more annoying position beneath the display (Hi, Dell!)

There is also a full-size chicklet-style keyboard with 1.4mm of key travel and backlighting. The main attraction is the Chromebook Flip's 360-degree hinge, which allows the display to be flipped over and used like a tablet with ease.

Inside, the Chromebook Flip C434 is powered by an Intel Core i7-8500Y processor, paired with (up to) 8GB of RAM and 128GB storage. There are two USB-C ports and a full-size USB-A port, a headphone jack and a Micro SD slot for expansion. This is pwoered by a 48Wh battery.

The company has acknowledged the "wave of premium Chromebooks led by the Google Pixelbook" that cost upwards of USD$1000 (AUD$1,400+). ASUS has stated that the Chromebook Flip C434 is aimed to sit between the high-end and budget Chromebooks.

ASUS' Chromebook Flip C434 will be available in the coming months, with pricing starting at $569 (or around $796.23 AUD). We'll be in touch with ASUS Australia to check on local availability.

Who blinked first in Waymo v. Uber?

Waymo and Uber has reached a settlement in their self-driving car case. The announcement came as a big shock, even though I wrote yesterday that Waymo's case was looking oddly weak . Parties are free to settle in the middle of trial (heck, they can settle while the jury is considering a verdict, and they can settle even after the verdict is out) but it's pretty rare. For one thing, it's hard to think about negotiating when you're busy prepping for trial the next day. For another thing, if you were going to settle, you probably should have done it before. It's pretty messy to call off the boxing match in the middle of the third round. Taking any case to trial — let alone such a high-profile case — is messy and exorbitantly expensive, and on top of that, jury verdicts are unpredictable. Sure, by settling now, Uber and Waymo manage to avoid rolling the dice with the jury. But they still spent what was likely millions and millions of dollars on their top-billi...
