ASUS is working on a new Chromebook Tablet and it looks like a competitor to the last year’s Lenovo IdeaPad Duet Chromebook. A German retailer has now listed a new MediaTek chipset-powered ASUS Chromebook Tablet with a detachable keyboard and a Stylus support.
The listing on the retailer Saturn, first stopped by Chrome Unboxed(via 9to5Google), shows a ASUS Chromebook CM3000DVA-HT0011. However, the report says that other listings designate it as ASUS Chromebook Flip CM3000. The model listed on the site is in Mineral Gray color.
Similar to the IdeaPad Duet Chromebook, we see a detachable keyboard with a Fabric finish on the backside. Further, the report and the listing shows that the display of the Chromebook will have a slot inside beside to hold a USI-Stylus. Speaking of which, these accessories are said to be included in the box but let’s wait for official confirmation.
On the left, there is a power button and volume rockers, and to the back, we have the ASUS, Chromebook logos, and a Single Camera. Upfront, you get a display with thicker borders and a single selfie shooter at the center.
On the bottom, we have magnetic contacts for the detachable keyboard. In addition to the keyboard, a fabric-style Kickstand also appears on the images.
