The Asus Chromebook Flip C433 is basically a redesigned C434, coming in October

Asus's Flip line is well-liked among the Chromebook faithful: Corbin gave both the C302 and C434 glowing reviews. This fall, the family is getting a new member in the Flip C433: a 14-incher with a squared-off design that looks more than a little like the Pixelbook's.

The C433 shares a lot with the C434, including its slim bezels (which Asus calls "NanoEdge" display — why not?), port selection, and processor and RAM options. Its base model has more storage, though, at 64 gigs instead of 32, and it's just a hair larger and heavier. But the main differentiator is its design, which is more modern, sporting a squarer body that should lend itself better to tablet-style use.
