The Asus ZenBook Flip UX560U is a charming little oddity. It's rare to see a convertible of this size, much less one that also has a dedicated GPU. If you've been hankering for a notebook that marries the performance and functionality of a workstation-style desktop replacement with the versatility of a hybrid device, this laptop will scratch that itch.

It’s heavy and not suited to photo editing, but has a huge hard drive and long battery life.

The ZenBook Flip UX560 is a good laptop for families, casual computer users who don’t want to run out of storage and those who think 13in laptops are just too small. It’s not for power users, enthusiast gamers, bargain hunters or those who want something truly portable. Being there for a specific audience is not an issue, but there are a couple of stings here. The screen is held back by its dated touchscreen style, which kills screen contrast in a well-lit room, and like some other recent Asus models there’s just a bit too much keyboard fl ex for comfort.

The ZenBook Flip 15 carries the usual all-aluminum sturdy and elegant build like most ZenBooks, it features excellent input devices for flawless working experience on the go and a sleek and portable design to impress. This, however, hasn’t limited the ZenBook Flip 15’s performance or endurance by any means. In fact, the 15-inch device easily overtakes some of the 14-inch and 13-inch devices in terms of battery life.
