The Zenbook Pro 15 Flip OLED (UP6502) runs really quickly, considering its form factor. We see almost no implications derived from the small volume inside its chassis. The main reason for that, by the way, is the ErgoLift mechanism, and the quite large cooling capacity. Speaking of which, the Intel Arc A370M GPU is no match for the dual-heat pipe cooling solution. However, it is no match for the RTX 3050 too, especially in games. Whether it’s because of the suboptimal driver support, or this is just how much the hardware can do, we don’t know. What we know, is that ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 Flip OLED (UP6502)’s display has a high resolution, comfortable viewing angles, and blazingly quick pixel response times. They are paired with a 120Hz refresh rate, which results in an incredibly smooth viewing experience. Its full sRGB and DCI-P3 coverage mean that you are going to look at a super attractive image. Moreover, its color accuracy is good-enough for professional work. One thing that is not so great, however, is the presence of PWM. Again, “MyASUS” takes care of that with its “Flicker-Free Dimming” function. In addition to that, you get a long battery life. The 96Wh battery will get you through more than 12 hours of Web browsing, or about 11 hours of video playback on a single charge. Furthermore, you can choose from three performance presets, which do have an impact on performance, noise, and battery longevity. Naturally, noise is directly attached to comfort. This notebook is indeed, really comfortable. Its keyboard is clicky, and has long key travel, while the touchpad is super smooth and accurate. While the device comes with two Thunderbolt 4 connectors, an HDMI 2.1 port, a USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 2) port, and a MicroSD card reader, its HDMI port is the 18Gbps unit, which ties it with the standard HDMI 2.0. Not in last place, there is the soldered memory problem. Well, it works as intended, but it can’t be upgraded. On the bright side, you can find one M.2 PCIe x4 slot for storage. We are also happy with the build quality of the product, its IR face recognition scanner, and of course – the stylus work. Ultimately, the Zenbook Pro 15 Flip OLED (UP6502) has its downsides, but it was really exciting using it, and we are confident that it will satisfy its target user base.

15.60":
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.
