Reviews for the Asus ZenBook Flip S UX370UA-C4217T

Although a pleasure to use, the machine is married by a handful of minor performance and functionality issues - including a lack of ports - which, combined with a high price tag (the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 is available for £959 exc VAT for instance), means it edges more on the side of luxury than necessity.

A light convertible that packs serious power into its diminutive frame, the new ZenBook Flip S doesn’t compromise on performance… or price.

I saw this at the launch last year and despite two representatives of ASUS saying it would be available from tomorrow, it has taken a whole lot of tomorrows to pass before I managed to finally get one into my hands to review.

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.
