You probably don’t remember this now, but Asus was expected to bring a very promising 2-in-1 Chrome OS machine to the fast-growing tablet market way back in February. For some reason, it took the company almost six more months to commercially release its robust and versatile alternative to 2020’s moderately successful Lenovo Chromebook Duet.
It remains to be seen if the Asus Chromebook Detachable CM3 can do the same for a much smaller player in the worldwide tablet game. As far as we can tell, this is the Taiwanese company’s only slate officially available stateside right now, but if you’re willing to overlook that “flaw”, you might find the quality/price ratio to be extremely compelling, at least on paper.
Both models come packing 4 gigs of RAM in a single Mineral Gray hue, and at least for the time being, both are available exclusively from their manufacturer’s official US website, although an Amazon listing is also live without a price tag, an active “buy” button, or any sort of an ETA.
