We can find solutions on the market for all tastes, needs and pockets. The market, especially for laptops, offers a large number of options adapting to all types of users. ASUS, a prominent laptop manufacturer, has just announced a new convertible Chromebook. Specifically, we have the ASUS Detachable CM30a system 2-in-1 type Chromebook designed to offer great versatility.
If you don’t know what a Chromebook is, we are going to explain it to you in a simple way. It is a laptop (or convertible, as in this case) that uses Google’s Chrome OS operating system. Basically, it is a version of Android designed for computers.
This operating system focuses, above all, on cloud work and mobility. It wants to bring Android features and applications to laptops. These systems, above all, are very popular in American educational centers.
This is the ASUS convertible laptop based on Chrome OS
Seeking to satisfy all users, ASUS has announced the launch of its new convertible system. This system is characterized by being a 2-in-1 type Chromebook, which can function as a conventional laptop or as a tablet.
This system integrates an optical smart pen to add functionality to the system. This is a push-pop type that is integrated into the same chassis, charging when it is integrated into the system itself. This pencil allows quick and precise movements, making it ideal for taking notes, sketching ideas or capturing movements.
Regarding the characteristics of this system, we are talking about a 10.5-inch convertible with an aspect ratio of 16:10. It integrates the MediaTek Kompanio 520 processor specially designed for Chromebook systems. This chip has two Cotex-A76 cores @ 2 GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores @ 2 GHz. In addition, the ARM Mali A52 MC2 graphics card is integrated.
This system is complemented with 4 GB LPDDR4X of RAM and 128 GB of storage. The truth is that this storage capacity falls somewhat short, although Chromebooks are designed to be complemented with Google Drive. Finally, it should be noted that this tablet has a 5 MPx front camera and a 5 MPx rear camera.
A complete system that offers WiFi 6 connectivity, guaranteeing a high-speed connection wherever we are. Very weak in connectivity, since it only has one USB 2.0 Type-C exclusively for charging.
Other interesting aspects of this system
It has been developed thinking about being a laptop and a tablet at the same time, offering comfort. It has a magnetic cover that offers the possibility of adjusting it according to our needs. It has several tilt ranges to offer great comfort.
It has a high quality synthetic leather cover. The structure is made of 30% recycled aluminum, which gives this system a great finish and resistance. It has been subjected to the MIL-STD 810H military grade tests, passing them without any problem.
As it uses the Google Chrome OS operating system, we will have access to automatic operating system updates. We can also use the applications hosted in the Google Play Store, where there is a large number of applications of all kinds.
