Asus’ New Cloud Gaming Chromebook Is Ready for Battle

Asus

Asus was one of the first companies to launch a Chromebook made for cloud gaming last October, and now it’s launched its second, the CX34 Flip. Announced during Asus’ CES 2023 live event, it’s an all-white two-in-one Chromebook with color-blocked WASD keys and a four-zone RGB backlit keyboard.

One of the big additions that makes it more than an average Chromebook is its display: a 14-inch, 16:10, 144Hz, WUXGA (1,920×1,200) touchscreen. It’s pen-enabled, too, and Asus includes a pen that stashes in the body for storage and charging. Plus, because this is made for cloud gaming, Asus included a Wi-Fi 6E wireless module for a reliably fast connection.

The Chromebook will be available with up to a 12th-gen Intel Core i7-1255U processor, up to 16GB of 4,266MHz memory and up to a 512GB PCIe NVMe Gen3 solid-state drive. In other words, fully loaded this is going to be one of the fastest Chromebooks available. It’s also a bit of a chunk at nearly 4 pounds. 

Rounding out the highlights of the CX34 Flip is its port assortment, which includes two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C ports and an HDMI 2.1 output, and battery life up to 10 hours.
