  • The Chromebook Flip CX5 Chromebook is targeting students and young people for both play and work.
  • Meanwhile, the Chromebook Flip CX9 is targeting enterprise customers with high security.

ASUS just announced two new Chromebooks as part of its CES 2021 livestream. The ASUS Chromebook Flip CX5 and the Chromebook Flip CX9 are just the latest entries in the popular Flip brand of convertible Chromebooks from the company.

The new 15.6-inch Chromebook Flip CX9 has a matte white finish that resembles ceramic on top, but uses a matte black texture for its keyboard. Like others in the Flip series, the Flip CX5’s display can be rotated 360 degrees so it can serve as a big touchscreen tablet. It can also be used with an optional USI stylus for drawing and note-taking.
