Questionwhat is the auto update expiration date for this model
Asked 1 year ago by jerry.
- Answer According to Google's AUE (Auto Update Expiration) chart, this Asus Chromebook CM34 Flip (also known as the Asus Chromebook CM3401) will receive updates through Jun 2031. I double-checked it in my settings (Settings/About ChromeOS/Additional Details/Update Schedule), which says: This device will get automatic software and security updates until June 2031.

QuestionUnder Specs it says this model does NOT have a backlit keyboard, but under reviews, customers say it does. To make sure, does this model have the 2-in 1 flip, a touch screen AND the backlit keyboard? Thanks!
Asked 1 year ago by 47LL.
- Answer Yes, this Asus Chromebook CM3401 (also known as the Asus Chromebook CM34 Flip) does have all three features you asked about: It's a 2-in-1 flip (convertible) Chromebook, it has a touch screen and has a backlit keyboard (even though the Best Buy specs say it doesn't). The backlit keyboard is very nice, and reminds me a lot of the backlit keyboard on my Asus Vivobook Flip 14 2-in-1 Windows laptop.

QuestionWhen this was first advertised by Asus, it had the option for a stylus, but there doesn't appear to be a slot for it on the included pictures. Is there a slot for a stylus?
Asked 1 year ago by Froboy77.
- Answer There is not. This is the step-down model from the Ryzen 5 option. It does not have a built-in slotted stylus, but it does have the USI1.0 standard for stylus support. It also lacks biometric authentication and log-in, the Ryzen 5 option has a fingerprint scanner. The Ryzen 5 version still isn't available and was only recently announced. It also has a 512GB SSD and 16GB of RAM, so expect the price to start much higher than this one and be in the full notebook territory.

QuestionIs this good for editing youtube content?
Asked 1 year ago by Anonymous.
- Answer There are 2 SKUs pointing to this Q&A. Regardless of whether this is "Chromebook Plus" branded (on the lid) or not, it shows "Chromebook Plus" when it boots. It meets specs for lumafusion, which I used earlier today for video editing. I did notice excessive CPU when I had an SD card installed.
