MagyarAsus ZenBook Flip 15 Series
The Asus ZenBook Flip 15 is a 2-in-1 laptop with a powerful 8th-gen Intel Core i5 processor paired with NVIDIA’s GTX 1050 GPU. It gives users all the convenience and versatility of a 360°-rotatable 15.6” display in a stunning new design. It is thin and light, featuring the 8th-gen Intel® Core i5 processor, discrete graphics, an HDD with up to 2TB + a 512GB SATA SSD, USB-C ports, and a powerful Harman/Kardon audio system. The ZenBook Flip 15 is a timelessly elegant masterpiece, exquisitely crafted from solid aluminum, giving it a tough, scratch-resistant finish that has been designed to stay beautiful. The ZenBook Flip 15 uses incredibly tough and durable alloy steel in its any-position 360° hinge mechanism. It is available in two exclusive and elegant new colors with two different textures: Pure Silver and Smoky Gray. The Flip 15 uses a standard layout chiclet keyboard with white-colored keys and white backlighting. One thing that we noticed is that it does not have the last column after the NumPad, where the “-“, “+”, and “enter” keys are usually located. The touchpad, which also serves as a click pad, is smooth on the hands and does not have much resistance when gliding on it, which is good. The ultra-sharp screen has an amazing Full-HD resolution of 1920 by 1080 with wide, 178° viewing angles, so it is always easy and comfortable to view. With an incredible pixel density and 100% sRGB coverage, images and text are always pin sharp and ultra-detailed. Furthermore, the screen has an ultra-narrow bezel. The result is a laptop with a 79% screen-to-body ratio that maximizes the screen area while minimizing overall size. To maximize the viewing comfort, the NanoEdge display also has a matte anti-glare coating which reduces annoying reflections. Asus ZenBooks have a history of having good color reproduction displays, which is always a plus for any user.
The audio quality is loud, clear, and crisp thanks to the Harman/Kardon loudspeakers. The highs, mids, and lows are more than decent enough. The AudioWizard app lets users choose which sound type they would prefer by picking from the presets or by customizing their preferred quality. The Flip 15 is a powerful 2-in-1 ultrabook, since it features an Intel Core i5-8250U, an NVIDIA GTX 1050 (2GB), a 512GB SSD, and 8GB of RAM that is expandable up to 16GB. This kind of setup is suitable for gaming as well as photo and video editing. Whether a designer, a developer or a gamer, every user will get the best possible graphics performance with the ZenBook Flip 15. The notebook features the revolutionary USB-3.1 Type-C port for any-way-up connections and super-fast data transfers, twice faster than USB 3.0. The USB-C™ port on the ZenBook Flip 15 incorporates the latest technology for versatile, ultra-fast transmission. The Flip 15 also comes with the latest 802.11ac Wi-Fi, with speeds of up to 867 Mbps - it is three times faster than older Wi-Fi generations.

Well-conceived convertible! The ZenBook Flip combines a multitude of devices into one. The suitability for gaming is no more a problem for the slim convertible than CPU-heavy applications are. This detailed review will show whether there is a catch somewhere.

Archive.org versionThe ASUS Zenbook Flip 15 UX561UD has promising specs and features for a 2-in-1 ultrabook. It is solid and well-built, it has a responsive and snappy touchscreen, a vibrant and color accurate display, loud, and clear sound speakers. The performance is pretty good since the device uses an 8th-gen Intel Core i7 processor. One major issue though is heat management due to bad exhaust vent placement. Other than that, its advantages more than outweigh its disadvantages. The ASUS Zenbook Flip 15 is priced at Php79,990 (see listing here). Now, is this laptop worth it? The answer is a yes especially for people whose purpose is for professional use.

Asus ZenBook Flip 15 UX561UD-E2029T
It looks like somebody told manufacturers to produce as many convertibles as possible this year. I can not think of any other reasonable explanation for this flood of convertibles. 13.3, 14, 15.6 inchers everywhere. If someone manufactures a 17.3-inch convertible, I will call it done.
Okay, let’s get back to the topic. The ZenBook Flip series is actually an entry series in Asus’ world of convertibles. While there are more elegant Zenbook Pro models out there, if you are looking for some budget-friendly yet performance-strong models, Asus has you covered.
Even though I am always trying to figure out why someone would ever need a 2kg convertible laptop and trying to imagine how long they can hold it in one hand while using the touch screen, here I am, testing one.
A 4K touch screen in a 15.6-inch convertible. If that does not sound interesting to you, try adding a GTX 1050 with an Intel Core i7-8550U to it. Combined with a 512GB SSD and a 2TB HDD, it feels to me that this laptop was intended to be a multimedia device on which you can store all your data, do some gaming, etc. But since the competition is too strong in that segment, Asus might have wanted to try something new and thus introduced the Flip 15 with an interesting combination of hardware.
The i7-8550U is a good processor, do not get me wrong. But is it suitable for gaming? That is debatable. While the GTX 1050 is not a great choice for gaming either, it is sufficient for multimedia.
Now, is this device for creative minds or media consumers? It depends on how long your work sessions are. I am saying this because the 8550U is a low-voltage CPU and can easily become hot. Having long sessions with, for example, some Adobe software can bring it to high temperatures pretty quickly. Therefore, I am not sure if it is going to be reliable for such work. I even slightly doubt that everyone could benefit from the touch screen.
I think this laptop could be a good companion to some artists who sketch. Combined with a pen (sold separately), it could be a good tool. But I do not see it becoming a good fit for regular users. With the given size and weight, I would aim for at least a regular-voltage CPU for better utilization.

Asus ZenBook Flip 15 UX563FD-A1027T
Asus ZenBook Flip 15 is the latest venture by Asus which carries a combination of concepts that ranges from convertible to gaming to a touchscreen trackpad. As far as the design is concerned, this ZenBook does not carry a bad design for a device with an identity crisis. Having said that, this model can never be classified under the high-end productivity device as it will definitely fall back in competition. It’s weight is almost doubled when compared to other flagship Ultrabooks from competitors such as Apple, LG, Microsoft and Dell. This model also falls a bit on the chunky side making it more susceptible to competitions. In addition, its overall rather unremarkable look as compared to XPS or Surface device also makes it fall back in the competition. The ZenBook Flip 15 can be considered as an acceptable gaming laptop but it definitely isn’t the best out there. As most gaming laptops fall into the extremely tacky look, this laptop has deviated from that with its metal body and mild color choices. This laptop comes with a 15.6 inches display along with either a full HD resolution or a 4K UHD resolution. Being a 2-in-1 laptop, this laptop has several positions it can stay at including upright, tent and tablet. However, Asus still has not figured out on how to open the lid with a single hand, something that has come to be a standard for premium built quality. However, it should be noted that the ErgoLift mechanism has made a comeback with this model and there is also an optional IR face recognition system.
The keyboard on the other hand was said to give one of the closest experiences to a desktop keyboard and the hinge raises the keyboard up to an angle from the surface for a more ergonomically pleasing typing experience for the users. ZenBook Flip 15 has also incorporated the ScreenPad which acts as a second screen to offer add-on-apps for Excel, PowerPoint and Word, while also acting as a trackpad in general use. In terms of its performance, this laptop really offers impressive productivity performance with the incorporation of a 10th Gen Intel Comet Lake processor within it. It definitely beats the most modern Ultrabook out there such as Surface Laptop 3 and Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 in that sense. For graphical performances, the ZenBook Flip 15 is definitely commendable with its Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q incorporation. However, this isn’t the best option for gaming though. The 71Wh battery is considered to be a good choice for this laptop, especially for the 4K display option. While the 4K model was tested for battery longevity which lasted just under seven hours, the reading may increase for a few to several hours for the Full HD model. This laptop is definitely a great choice for those who wouldn’t mind the large size and weight to carry out general tasks and a little bit of gaming amid work.

The Asus convertible shines with powerful hardware, a sleek metal case, a backlit keyboard, good battery life and a Pantone-validated 4K touchscreen display. For the latter, users have the choice between using their fingers or the included Active Pen for inputs.

An AMD Zen + Nvidia MX ultrabook sounded nice a few years ago, but it's too little too late now that Zen 3+ CPUs are available with the faster, smaller, and more efficient integrated Radeon 680M. The GeForce MX450 is still not bad if you don't mind the added weight and thickness, though.
