Archive.org versionThere’s still enough to like about the Asus VivoBook Flip 14 to make it worth a look. It's an attractive laptop, and the options of using it in tablet, tent, and stand modes can come in handy. We just wish it had come equipped with a solid-state drive...and perhaps a better Webcam.

Archive.org versionAs colorful as the display is, there are far too many issues with the Asus VivoBook Flip 14 to recommend this 2-in-1. Its sub-6-hour battery life is a deal breaker on its own, and when that's paired with a bouncy keyboard and a sluggish hard drive, this laptop will give you too many headaches.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
