Frankly, it’s not a big deal. However, if you want to use the machine for media-related tasks, you are going to be disappointed. Other than that, Asus claims that the display comes with an anti-glare coating. I tested the display in a well-lit room, and surprisingly, it can offset most of the reflection. It’s awesome that Asus is bringing an anti-glare display to lower-range Chromebooks and at such a price point.

And, of course, you have 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM and 64GB of eMMC storage in tow here. I like the fact that Asus hasincreased the base storage from 32GB to 64GBwithout hiking the price unreasonably.

And the best part is that both the USB Type-C portscome with charging, data transfer, and DisplayPort supportfor connecting to an external monitor. Basically, you can just connect the charger to either of the sides, and you are done.

Asus says the microphones can cancel background noise as well, but I didn’t feel any change while I was on a video call. Maybe, it requires the upcomingnoise cancellation feature on Chrome OS. As for the webcam quality, it’s good enough (read potato) to get you through video conferences and online classes.

On top of that, you have a Type-C 45W charging brick that is really fast. Within an hour, you can fully charge your Chromebook, and you will be good to go.
