The Asus ZenBook Flip 15 UX563FD is a potent multimedia convertible that comes in the 15.6-inch form factor. A four-core Core i7-10510U processor and a dedicated GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q deliver a sufficient amount of performance. The convertible does not exactly face an abundance of competition. However, it still directly competes with the Lenovo Yoga C940-15IRH, HP Spectre x360 15 and the Dell XPS 15 9575 in our database.

Case - ZenBook with a Solid Metal Chassis

For the ZenBook Flip, Asus has chosen a sleek, compact, black metal case with largely matte surfaces. The display surface aside, only the back of the convertible is glossy. However, the latter is only visible when the lid is closed. The top of the base unit has a subtle, laterally brushed finish. A silver stripe visually separates the palm rests from the keyboard. The build quality of the convertible does not warrant criticism. The clearances are even and there are no excess materials. Furthermore, the device looks very robust. While the base unit can only be twisted slightly, the lid does not allow for any twisting. Applying pressure to the back of the lid does not distort the screen. The hinges hold the display firmly in place. Opening the lid one-handed can be accomplished with some amount of finger, hand and arm acrobatics.

We also have to give the manufacturer credit for the power button. Pressing it requires quite a bit of force. As such, accidental presses when holding the convertible on the right edge are highly unlikely.

The devices in our comparison do not differ much in terms of the weight and dimensions. However, the ZenBook is still the most lightweight device of them all.

Features - Asus Convertible with No Surprises

The port selection is nothing out of the ordinary. There are 3 USB ports (2x Type-A, 1x Type-C) that are interfaced via the USB 3.2 Gen 1 standard. The USB Type-C port can only be used to connect peripherals or for data transfer. It does not support the DisplayPort via USB Type-C feature. Additionally, there is an HDMI port.

A Thunderbolt 3 port is missing. On a convertible in this price range, the latter should be included by default. It would allow users to connect feature-rich docking solutions or a more powerful, external GPU.

Left: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (Type-A), headset jack

Right: power button, card reader (SD), 2x USB 3.2 Gen 1 (1x Type-C, 1x Type-A), HDMI, AC adapter

SD Card Reader

SD cards cannot be fully inserted into the integrated SD card reader; instead, memory cards protrude from the case by about 18 mm. The card reader itself is one of the faster models. 250 jpg image files (around 5 MB each) were transferred at a rate of 76.6 MB/s. We test card readers with the help of our reference card (Toshiba Exceria Pro SDXC 64 GB UHS-II).

Communication

The Wi-Fi module is equipped with an Intel chip (Wi-Fi 6 AX201). Apart from the Wi-Fi standards 802.11a/b/g/n/ac, the faster ax standard is also supported. On top of that, the module offers Bluetooth 5 functionality. Under optimal conditions (no other Wi-Fi devices in proximity, short distance between the laptop and server), we measured good transfer speeds. There is no Ethernet port on the Asus convertible. If needed, an appropriate USB adapter can be used.

Webcam

The integrated webcam can take pictures with a maximum resolution of 1280x720 pixels. The results look somewhat washed-out. The color accuracy is disappointing as well. With a DeltaE of 20.4, it completely misses the mark (ideal: DeltaE of less than 3).

Accessories

Aside from the usual accessories (warranty information, quick-start guide), the Flip 15 comes with an active pen (Asus Active Stylus SA200H).

Maintenance

There is no maintenance hatch on the bottom of the ZenBook. In order to reach the insides, the bottom plate needs to be removed. This can be accomplished by first removing all of the screws on the bottom. Subsequently, the bottom plate can be loosened with a spudger or a sharp-edged tool.

Warranty

Asus offers buyers of the ZenBook Flip a two-year warranty - including pick-up and delivery service.

Input Devices - Asus Package Includes a Stylus

Keyboard

Asus has equipped the UX563FD with a backlit chiclet keyboard that includes a numpad. The smooth keys offer shallow travel and a distinct actuation point. Pressing the keys requires an appropriate amount of force. While typing, the keyboard center slightly yields. This has not proven to be an issue. The keyboard backlight (three brightness levels) can be controlled with a function key. Overall, Asus has installed a well-rounded keyboard that goes beyond the requirements of daily use and is suitable even for regular typing tasks.

Touchpad/Screenpad

Instead of a normal ClickPad, our test device is equipped with the Asus Screenpad 2.0, which spans a surface area of about 13 x 6.5 cm (~5.12 x 2.56 in). The pad registers inputs all the way to the edges. The smooth surface has good gliding properties. The travel of the pad is shallow with a distinct actuation point.

The Screenpad is a second touchscreen display with extra features - for example, it can be used as a numpad, calculator or as an area for handwritten inputs. Using the Screenpad in this manner is completely optional and it can instead just be used as a normal ClickPad or be disabled entirely. The mode can be switched with a function key.

Touchscreen

The touchscreen supports 10 multi-touch points. We did not encounter any issues and inputs were promptly registered. The screen can be used with the included stylus (Asus Active Stylus SA200H) or your fingers.

Display - 4K IPS Touchscreen with Pantone Validation

The 15.6-inch touchscreen display of the ZenBook Flip has a native resolution of 3840x2160 pixels. The contrast (1132:1) and brightness (334.6 cd/m²) are good. For significantly brighter displays, users should consider competitors such as the Lenovo Yoga C940-15IRH and Dell XPS 15 9575. Positive: The display does not suffer from PWM flickering.

The display is X-Rite Pantone-validated, which guarantees a very natural color representation. With a DeltaE-2000 color deviation of only 1.74, the display is below the reference point even ex-factory. It also does not suffer from a blue tint. The AdobeRGB color space cannot be fully reproduced (62%). Meanwhile, the sRGB color space is covered almost entirely (97%).

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White
35 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 21 ms rise
35 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 14 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 91 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (22.3 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
60 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 29 ms rise
60 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 31 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.25 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 95 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (35.2 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18878 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Asus has equipped the ZenBook Flip with an IPS panel with good viewing angles. As a result, the screen can be read from any position. The device was primarily designed for indoor use. Outdoors, the glossy display layer can make it almost impossible to discern the screen content.

Performance - Hardware of the UX563FD Performs Well

Asus' ZenBook Flip 15 is a 15.6-inch convertible with enough computing power for all common use cases. Furthermore, games can be played on it thanks to the dedicated graphics chip. Our test device can be purchased for around 1600 Euros (~$1741). Other configurations are also available.

Processor

The ZenBook Flip is powered by a four-core Intel Core i7-10510U processor. The Comet Lake CPU has a base clock of 1.8 GHz. Via Turbo, this can be increased to 4.3 GHz (four cores), 4.8 GHz (two cores) or 4.9 GHz (single core).

During the Cinebench multithread benchmark tests, the processor temporarily runs at 3.9 to 4.3 GHz. Afterwards, the clock rate drops to the 3.8 to 4 GHz range. During the single-thread tests, the clock speed ranges from 4.3 GHz to 4.9 GHz. In battery mode, clock rates from 1.8 GHz to 2.2 GHz (multithread) or 1.4 GHz to 1.8 GHz (single thread) can be observed.

By running the multithread test of the Cinebench R15 benchmark suite in a loop for at least 30 minutes, we determine whether the CPU Turbo is permanently active. The initial scores drop by the fourth loop, after which they slightly increase again to remain relatively consistent for the remainder of the test. Here, the CPU Turbo is active.

GPU Performance

The GeForce GTX 1050 Max-Q GPU is a version of the regular GTX 1050 that has been tuned for efficiency. The mid-range Pascal GPU has a base core clock speed of 1190 MHz. Via boost, this can be increased to up to 1329 MHz. Even higher speeds are possible, provided the GPU does not cross certain temperature or energy thresholds. During our The Witcher 3 test for example, we recorded an average clock speed of 1599 MHz. Our measurements also show a peak value of 1647 MHz. The GPU has access to fast GDDR5 video memory (4.096 GB).

The 3DMark benchmark results match our expectations for this GPU. In battery mode, the raw graphics performance only decreases marginally. The integrated UHD Graphics 620 GPU is active and the laptop uses Nvidia's graphics-switching solution Optimus.

Gaming Performance

The CPU/GPU combination of the Flip 15 can display all the games in our database smoothly on its screen. Older titles, or games with lower hardware requirements, can be played at Full HD resolution and medium to medium high quality settings. In many current titles, the resolution and/or graphics need to be toned down in order to keep the frame rates sufficiently high. At best, only a handful of games will be playable at higher resolutions than Full HD.
