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.

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

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

Health-Guard

Health-Guard eliminates the harmful Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) and reduces the negative Blue Light which affects our eyes and body. Since it’s custom tailored for every panel, it manages to keep the colors perceptually accurate. Health-Guard simulates paper so the pressure on the eyes is greatly reduced.
