The Asus Flip C302 is one of the best affordable convertible CBs. It's $400 new today (next 8 hours) but if you can find it cheaper used/refurb'd (e.g. eBay) go for it.

I just picked one of these up, and I'm super impressed so far. Coming from an old macbook air it's kind of a nice change. I didn't realize how much I would love having a touchscreen on my laptop.

Is there a known issue with audio distortion on the c302? It's been working well since I got it in last week, but this morning I've noticed an occasional stuttery, almost popping noise from the speakers when I try and watch videos. It hasn't happened often, but I want to get out ahead of it if it's going to get worse.

Were you, by any chance, watching on Youtube? There's info in the OP about how Google tries to force the open-source VP8 over AVC, and without hardware acceleration it'll consume far more resources resulting in dropped frames and crackling audio. The h264ify extension is linked and gets around this, and there's a System Monitor extension that can easily show you when your CPU is pegged.

Thanks for this, I hadn't considered that it was a YouTube only issue when you posted it, but it absolutely was.
