This is an impressive little Chromebook - the new Rockchip processor inside of it performs quite well - both for web browsing but also for running Android apps. In fact the performance out of this is every bit as good as some Intel based Windows laptops I've reviewed recently at around the same price point.
Most of the Android games and apps we threw at the Flip were compatible, although some exhibited some odd behaviors with window sizes. It was even able to run some game emulators (often a very demanding task) and my game controller also worked.
All in this is a nice compact device that offers the best of both worlds - a thin and light laptop running ChromeOS along with compatibility with many Android mobile apps.
