Chromebooks started life as a low-cost computing option based around Google's web-based apps and services. Some things have not changed much. You'll still get the most out of a Chromebook if it's online, although you can now use it offline for a range of tasks. And some Chromebooks, such as Google's recent £629/$649 Pixelbook Go, are premium devices. The 360-degree convertible Asus Chromebook Flip C436 costs £899, or $799 in the US. You can get a very respectable fully-fledged Windows laptop for that kind of money. So is the Asus offering worth the outlay?
