The 57 Wh battery offers up to 10 hours of battery life and the laptop features up to 16 GB of memory as well as storage of up to a 512 GB PCIe® SSD.
Distinctive, daring design
The bold aesthetic of ASUS Chromebook Flip CM5 is tailored to young users who enjoy daring creative expression and displaying their unique style. ASUS Chromebook Flip CM5 is the first Chromebook with striking orange color-blocked WASD keys, and this design lets users stand out while enjoying quick, intuitive gameplay in cloud-based games. On the exterior, the laptop features a Mineral Gray aluminum-alloy metal lid chassis. Illuminating the all-black interior, the full‑sized backlit keyboard offers 1.4 mm key travel for more comfortable typing, and the Obsidian Velvet texture of the palm rest area offers a silky-smooth feel for added comfort during extended use.

The precision-engineered 360° ErgoLift hinge on ASUS Chromebook Flip CM5 smoothly adjusts and secures the display at any angle. The hinge also lifts and tilts the keyboard into the perfect typing position when the display is rotated into laptop mode, and this position creates extra space underneath the laptop to enhance the audio and allow more airflow for improved cooling.
