Touted as a mobile machine that’s catered to the creative professionals, the ASUS ZenBook Flip 14 is a versatile notebook that’s both powerful and portable. As its name suggests, it can be rotated 360-degrees to lay flat into tablet/drawing mode.
Powered by a Ryzen R5-3700U CPU, the ASUS ZenBook Flip 14 features 8GB of DDR4 RAM as well as 256GB of M.2 SSD for fast application startup times. It also a 14-inch Full HD touch display with NanoEdge that gives a 90% screen-to-body ratio. That means a smaller device, but larger screen, greater portability.
The ZenBook Flip 14 brings with it two brand new features – world-facing camera and the new NumberPad. The former is a camera that’s designed specifically for use with mixed-reality applications, while the latter is a feature that’s found on the refreshed VivoBook Ultra A412. With a tap of the NumberPad icon on the trackpad, an LED-lit numpad appears.
Besides that, the ASUS ZenBook Flip 14 is fitted with the unique 360-degrees ErgoLift hinge design. It allows for smooth transition from laptop mode to stand, tent, and flat-out tablet mode. The all-metal hinge has been tested under harsh conditions with up to 20,000 open/close cycles. The ErgoLift hinge also lifts the laptop and tilts the keyboard for enhanced typing comfort.
ASUS hasn’t announced the price or availability dates of the ASUS ZenBook Flip 14 yet, so our time with the laptop is more of a preview session. Stay tuned to AXO for future updates on the ZenBook Flip 14.
