The Asus ZenBook Flip S isn’t cheap costing on average around USD $2,000 … but it does look sexy. If it came with a stylus pen and a detachable keyboard, I’ll be all OVER it!
Taken from Engadget … The ZenBook Flip S is close to being the ideal ultraportable. As one of the first Intel Evo devices — the company’s branding for devices with 11th generation “Tiger Lake” CPUs that meet a strict set of standards — ASUS had to prove it could deliver a premium experience. And for the most part, the company succeeds: The ZenBook Flip S has a sleek and thin convertible design; a gorgeous 4K OLED screen; and some decent horsepower, thanks to Intel’s Xe integrated graphics. It has almost everything we’d want in a next-generation laptop — though, strangely , that kitchen sink approach couldn’t fit in a headphone jack.
In many ways, the Flip S is the logical evolution of ASUS’s premium notebook designs. It has a sturdy aluminum case with gold accented edges, which give off an air of sophistication. It doesn’t look gaudy the way earlier ZenBooks did, though the case remains a fingerprint magnet. It’s also impressively thin, measuring 13.9 millimeters, and relatively light at 2.86 pounds. That puts in the same ballpark as this year’s XPS 13, which clocks in at 14.8mm thick and 2.8 pounds.
Pros
- Sleek and thin design
- 4K OLED screen looks fantastic
- Hardware configuration is very fast
- Intel Xe graphics are impressive
Cons
- No headphone jack (?!)
- Dated-looking bezels
- Cramped keyboard
Summary
The ZenBook Flip S is a solid premium convertible laptop, with fast 11th-gen Intel hardware and a gorgeous 4K OLED screen. It’s a standout as one of the first Intel Evo machines, but be prepared to live with slightly thicker bezels than the competition, and the lack of a headphone jack.
