80% Asus ZenBook Flip UX560UQ review
Source: It Pro English Archive.org version
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.

70% Asus ZenBook Flip UX560 Review
Source: Toptenreviews English Archive.org version
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 Asus ZenBook Flip UX560 is a good ultra-mainstream 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 Asus ZenBook Flip UX560’s 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 flex for comfort.

ASUS ZenBook Flip 15 (UX561UD) review – a versatile and universal solution
Source: Laptop Media English Archive.org version
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.

Asus: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. is a major Taiwanese computer hardware manufacturer based in Taipei, founded in 1989. Under the Asus brand name, the company manufactures a wide range of products, including laptops, desktops, motherboards, graphics cards, monitors, smartphones and networking equipment, complete systems and PC components for end users.

Under the ROG (Republic of Gamers) brand name, ASUS manufactures gaming laptops known by gamers for their powerful specifications, dedicated graphics cards, high refresh rate displays and advanced cooling systems.

Beyond gaming, a wide range of notebooks are offered for different needs and budgets, from ultra-slim and lightweight ultrabooks to versatile 2-in-1 convertibles and budget-friendly options. In 2023, Asus had a 7% global market share of the PC market.

Customer satisfaction with ASUS notebooks concerns performance, the features, and the good price-performance ratio of ASUS notebooks. However, as with any brand, there are occasional reports of problems such as overheating, driver compatibility, or build quality issues.


Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
