ASUS ZenBook Flip 14 UX461 in-depth review

The ZenBooks from ASUS have been widely renown for their high-performance hardware packed inside a portable and elegant chassis. The specs are always good enough not only for everyday business use but also for multimedia and even light gaming (or some other graphically-intensive workload).

Pros

  • Clean design, robust chassis
  • Lightweight, super thin, slightly bigger than a standard 13-inch device
  • Great keyboard, responsive and accurate touchpad
  • Packs a powerful hardware given the size of the chassis
  • Good image quality (wide sRGB coverage, high contrast)
  • Amazing battery life
  • Plenty of I/O

Cons

  • When opened, the device loses grip with the surface and slides
  • The glossy screen finish and relatively low brightness make it hard to use outdoors
  • The screen uses aggressive PWM 0 to 99% brightness (our Health-Guard profile fixes that)
  • In some regions, the notebook ships with M.2 SATA SSD instead of PCIe NVMe SSD
