The Asus ZenBook 14 Flip OLED is a great option for someone who wants a premium Windows convertible laptop experience. The 14-inch 2.8K OLED display and the Ryzen 9 5900H processor certainly make for compelling reasons to consider this over its rivals from Dell and HP at this price. The overall build quality as well as the choice of I/O ports add to the appeal as well. However, Asus is launching this laptop at a time when the AMD Ryzen 6000 series processors are making their way to high-end Windows laptops. Hence, investing this much money into a laptop offering a last-gen processor does not seem sensible. Asus could have offered this laptop with the latest generation Ryzen 6000 series processor. On the whole, those seeking a great viewing experience and fast performance with a solid build and design should check out the Asus ZenBook 14 Flip OLED once.

Asus Zenbook 14 Flip OLED
Asus Zenbook 14 Flip is a convertible laptop with a 14-inch OLED display that has a 90Hz refresh rate and 3K resolution in the popular 16:10 format. It also features a powerful AMD 5800H along with an integrated RX Vega 8 iGPU. ASUS started to include OLED panels on more devices so that not only high-priced devices can enjoy their advantages, but also mid-range devices. The OLED panel has a refresh rate of 90 Hz, a resolution of 2880x1800, and a 16:10 format, including HDR and Pantone certification. Additionally, all tested color spaces gave excellent results, making this 14-inch device suitable for professional users who rely on true color. As for the design, the chassis is not only very sturdy and stylish, but it also features an integrated digital calculator on the click board. It consists of an aluminum chassis, which unfortunately is susceptible to fingerprints. This convertible can be opened with almost one hand without slipping and also offers a magnetic closure. Besides that, the fingerprint sensor is integrated into the power button.
Instead of Thunderbolt 4, the Asus Zenbook Flip 14 has two USB 3.2 Gen2 ports that support Power Delivery and Displayport. These ports are located sufficiently far from each other that there are no restrictions on their use. The device does not have a Kensington lock and LAN connection because the range of ports is limited by the cooling system. Three slender cooling ports are placed centrally on each side of the device. Sound from the Asus Zenbook Flip 14's speakers is acceptable and adequate for video and streaming services. While the Asus Zenbook Flip 14 has a high capacity battery at 63Wh, it also consumes more power. The OLED display is responsible for the generally high power consumption of the Asus Zenbook Flip 14, especially when idling.
With an AMD Ryzen 7 5800H built in, there's enough power under the hood to beat the competition. It is paired with AMD Radeon RX Vega 8 (Ryzen 4000/5000), 16GB DDR4 RAM and 512GB solid state drive storage. This combination of hardware specifications ensures high system performance and is good for everyday work. In conclusion, Asus brings a solid convertible to the market with its Zenbook Flip 14 OLED, which scores points for an excellent OLED panel in 16:10 format and a 90Hz refresh rate. It is a high performance convertible laptop with good design and great hardware features. Thus it is suitable for working professionals who require a very good display, such as graphic designers.

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.
