    Asus ZenBook Flip 14 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). Fortunately, the ZenBook Flip 14 is a worthy member of the lineup but along with the price, the ultrabook adds a few notable features that aren't necessarily inherent to the series.Sporting the best of what Intel can offer right now - Core i7-8550U paired with NVIDIA's GeForce MX150 GPU, 8GB of LPDDR3-1866 RAM and 512GB of PCIe NVMe SSD storage, the ZenBook Flip 14 impresses with exceptional performance with little to no compromise in the portability department.

    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
