The Chromebook Enterprise Flip CB5 comes across as both a reinvention of Asus’ excellent Chromebook Flip CX5 convertible, and as a premium, supersized version of its CM34 Flip. Like the former, it’s a big-screen, 2-in-1 convertible with a metallic shell and a fast Intel Core i5 spec. Like the latter, it’s switched to a squarer display with a 16:10 aspect ratio and 1,920 x 1,200 resolution, only here the screen is a massive 16 inches. Using it as a tablet is a slightly bizarre experience and there’s no USI stylus for notes and doodles. But it’s brilliant used in tent mode for ad hoc presentations or entertainment.
