Asus ZenBook Flip S (UX371)

Asus’ new laptop comes with a 4K OLED screen, latest Intel processor

- 

Asus is probably one of the few companies that have the widest laptop range catering to a different set of customers, be it the use and the price. The ZenBook Flip S (UX371) is the crème de la crème of Asus’ portfolio that carries an expensive price tag but comes with a 4K display, latest Intel processor in a compact form factor. But are these features worthy enough to sway the consumer? Let’s find out.

For a laptop this premium, we feel Asus could have given the ZenBook Flip S (UX371), a thorough makeover. Don’t get us wrong. The ZenBook Flip S is still a good and luxurious looking laptop, but the overall design feels like another Asus laptop in its portfolio. It has an asymmetric-circle pattern at the back with red copper diamond-cut highlights that complement the Jade Black finish. The ZenBook Flip S scores on the portability front with its 13.2mm thickness and weighing just around 1.2kg. The notebook also features a 360° ErgoLift Hinge that elevates the laptop slightly for a better angle to type and even create ventilation at the bottom for better airflow. On the connectivity side, it comes a full-size USB port, two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports and a standard-sized HDMI port. It lacks a 3.5mm headphone jack or an Ethernet port but Asus is gracious enough to bundle them along with a stylus pen that supports 4,096 levels of pressure and has a battery life of up to 12 months and a laptop sleeve.
