like other ZenBooks, this one has a fold-under hinge that can lift the keyboard deck slightly off your desk. Unlike some hinges with this design, this one is very slight — I didn’t feel it digging into my legs while using the device on my lap. Hãng asus says the hinge is “durability tested” for over 20,000 open / close cycles, và it feels sturdy enough.
Form transitions weren’t always seamless, though. The ZenBook sometimes attempted lớn switch khổng lồ tablet mode when I was tilting it slightly to the side (in the máy tính position). When I’d tilt it back upright, my windows wouldn’t all snap back to lớn the same positions I’d had them in before.
Occasionally, the screen also didn’t switch out of tablet mode after I swiveled it from the tablet lớn the laptop position, và I’d have to redo the transition. This is an issue you’ll sometimes have with Windows 2-in-1s — it’s not chất lượng to the Flip — but it can be a headache nonetheless.
Elsewhere, asus has added an edge-to-edge keyboard & squeezed an extra column of keys onto the right side that includes Home, Page Up, Page Down, & End. (HP’s Spectres and Envys have a similar row). The keyboard is an absolute highlight for me — it is comfortable and quiet with a ton of travel, và I make significantly fewer errors typing on it than I normally do. That said, I have very small fingers, and folks with larger hands sometimes find this kind of layout a bit cramped.

like other modern ZenBooks, the Flip S comes with Asus’ NumberPad 2.0. When you tap a tiny icon in the vị trí cao nhất right corner of the touchpad, an LED touch-based numpad pops up. (Swiping down from the top left corner also brings up the calculator app, which is handy.) The numpad works really well, & you can also use the touchpad to lớn navigate & click around while it’s up — the ZenBook never mistook my swipes for number inputs or vice versa. It’s worth noting that the touchpad isn’t quite as comfortable of a location for data entry work as the right side of the keyboard, but it’s still the closest thing you’ll get lớn a numpad on a laptop of this size.The port selection is fine, except that there’s no headphone jack. Hãng asus says it removed that in the name of thinness, and the Flip does ship with a dongle. But plenty of the ZenBook’s competitors (including the OLED Spectre x360, which is only a tiny bit thicker) have been able to lớn squeeze one in. It’s also missing a microSD slot, which the Spectre also has. Apart from that, there’s an HDMI port, two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports, và one USB 3.2 ren 1 Type-A. The máy vi tính also supports Wi-Fi 6 và Bluetooth 5.0 — no LTE.
So all in all, a nice display in a nice size factor. What’s the catch? It’s battery life. The ZenBook Flip S comes with a 67Wh battery, which is huge for a 13-incher — & I’m not sure it would be usable with a much smaller tank. With my usual office workflow & brightness around 200 nits, I got just five hours và 15 minutes. Sure, you’ll probably get a better result if you mix the screen lớn 1080p — but if you’re going lớn be doing that regularly, save your money & get a 1080p screen.
The second compromise is on power. The Flip S is one of the first systems lớn be certified through Intel’s Evo platform, which is like Project Athena for the Tiger Lake generation. The Evo brand is meant to lớn certify that a máy vi tính provides a number of benefits customers want, including all-day battery life, quick wake time, fast charging, Wi-Fi 6, and Thunderbolt 4.
The Flip S comes with a quad-core bộ vi xử lý core i7-1165G7 with xe integrated graphics, in addition khổng lồ 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD (to my relief, it didn’t come loaded with McAfee or any other nonsense). Note, though, that this is a fairly low-power implementation of the 1165G7 — và in synthetic benchmarks, many reviewers have seen the cpu fall behind its 10th-generation predecessors.
