Asus Zenbook Flip UX360 hits the US market

Asus unveiled the Zenbook Flip UX360 convertible a few months ago in Taiwan and now the time has finally come for it to hit the US market. Although the Zenbook family is quite large, the Flip UX360 is the first device in it to feature a convertible design.

The model currently available directly from Asus and via the Microsoft Store retails as Asus Zenbook Flip UX360CA-UBM1T and has the following highlights:

• Processor: Intel Core m3 6Y30 with Intel HD Graphics 515 IGP
• Memory/Storage: 8 GB LPDDR3 RAM; 256 GB SSD internal storage
• Display: 13.3-inch IPS multitouch with 1,920X1,080 pixels

• Operating system: Windows 10 Home 64-bit
• Weight/Dimensions: 2.8 pounds; 12.71X8.66X0.54 inches
• Battery/Autonomy: 3-cell 54 WHr lithium polymer; up to 12 hours

Thanks to its 360-degree-rotatable display, this ultra light convertible can be used as a laptop, tablet, or "anything in between." Asus has it currently listed for $699 USD, while the price of the same setup, but sold by the Microsoft Store, is $749 USD. In both cases, the Zenbook Flip UX360 comes with a laptop sleeve in the retail package.
