The Asus C202S is a decent spending plan Chromebook for similar reasons it's a decent Chromebook for schools. Worked to suffer being divided between understudies, schlepped around homerooms, and pushed into knapsacks, it's more than prepared to deal with coincidental mileage in your home climate. Most Chromebooks in the $200 value range don't feel like a lot of challenge, truly, yet you'd really need to work a piece to shake the C202S. The tough plan likewise makes it more pleasant to use than most deal models. The C202S is water-safe, as well. Asus says it can deal with a little spill of up to 2.23 ounces on the grounds that the innards are secured by a strong, mylar-lined plate worked under the console. We didn't test the organization's case, however we poured water on a couple comparatively ensured Chromebooks a year ago and they endure fine and dandy. The vast majority of them, in any case, cost more than the Asus C202S.
The C202S is additionally intended to be fixed reasonably without any problem. I mean reasonably, on the grounds that 12 screws remain among you and eliminating the base, in addition to more screws anticipate inside to eliminate the warm module, the motherboard, and the battery to get to different parts. Destroying the C202S consequently isn't something you'd do only for kicks, however couple of workstations these days can be opened by any stretch of the imagination, so this is an unmistakable element. Network incorporates two USB-A ports (one on each side), both USB 3.0 Super Speed, which means you get a lively information move pace of 5Gbps. The left side likewise offers an HDMI port, SD card opening, and sound jack, while the correct side adds a lock port and the AC jack. The ports are fortified to assist them with enduring consistent stopping and replugging, just as the stumbling and rope yanking reality of homeroom life. For remote you get Intel's 7265 double band 802.11ac Wi-Fi connector, in addition to Bluetooth 4.2 with WiDi uphold (for interfacing and streaming remotely to viable presentations).
Sound system speakers convey metallic, yet worthy sound. What bugs me most about ease Chromebooks is the messy consoles you get on an excessive number of them. The hard-plastic keys and cruel ventures cause me to feel like I'm composing on rocks. To its huge credit, the C202S offers a console with a shockingly delicate, 2mm travel. The text styles on the keys are even somewhat greater than expected so it's simpler to see the letters. I beat away joyfully on this console, and that implies a great deal at this value point. The 11.6-inch show has the typical 1366x768 goal, which is proper for the size. The review points are simply normal—you begin to lose the picture as you see more from the side—however Asus gave the presentation an enemy of glare covering to assist with perceivability. The C202S utilizes Intel's Celeron N3060 chip, a double center SoC running at 1.6GHz, with 4GB of LPDDR3 RAM and incorporated Intel HD Graphics 400. This arrangement will endure standard web applications and a streamed film—which is the thing that the vast majority with Chromebooks do—yet this isn't the Chromebook for cutting edge clients dabbling with web gaming or different illustrations serious errands.
We contrasted the C202S and other ongoing N3060-based models and the Acer Chromebook 14, whose N3160 chip is of a similar Braswell age, yet with four centers rather than two. We likewise incorporated the Dell Chromebook 13, which has a Celeron 3205U rather than a SoC, so you can perceive how a better quality (and more extravagant) Chromebook compares.The C202S (blue bar in the above graph) got going admirably with the Cr-XPRT execution test, which estimates Chromebook execution in essential profitability errands just as additional requesting exercises, like watching motion pictures or messing around. It's in the load with the other two low-end Chromebooks. Of course, however, the Dell's all the more remarkable chip smokes everybody. Basemark Web 3.0 as of late supplanted Browsermark 2.1 as Basemark's complete program benchmark. The tests cover online advances including WebGL 1.0.2 and WebGL 2.0 continuous designs, just as JavaScript. Once more, the C202S (green bar above) ran in a dead heat with the other three Chromebooks with a N3060 chip.
(Note: We were unable to remember the Dell for the Basemark diagram, as it was tried with Basemark's archetype, Browsermark.)OortOnline is a quite extreme WebGL test that centers around designs serious applications and games. The Asus C202S remains in accordance with its comparative rivals, and the edge closes observably among them and the Dell Chromebook 13. The C202S additionally has extraordinary battery life. Asus says the 38Whr battery will last as long as 10 hours, which is as of now excellent. We utilize the Cr-XPRT-2015 test, which projects the complete battery life dependent on running a recreated utilization design. The C202S posted 11.53 long stretches of extended life in that test.
