Archive.org versionThe Asus ZenBook Flip UX560U is a charming little oddity. It's rare to see a convertible of this size, much less one that also has a dedicated GPU. If you've been hankering for a notebook that marries the performance and functionality of a workstation-style desktop replacement with the versatility of a hybrid device, this laptop will scratch that itch.

Archive.org versionThe ZenBook Flip UX560 is a good laptop for families, casual computer users who don’t want to run out of storage and those who think 13in laptops are just too small. It’s not for power users, enthusiast gamers, bargain hunters or those who want something truly portable. Being there for a specific audience is not an issue, but there are a couple of stings here. The screen is held back by its dated touchscreen style, which kills screen contrast in a well-lit room, and like some other recent Asus models there’s just a bit too much keyboard fl ex for comfort.

NVIDIA GeForce 940MX: Mid-range laptop graphics card based on the Maxwell architecture. Compared to the older 940M, the MX now also supports GDDR5 graphics memory and maybe slightly faster clock speeds.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
