Asus' Intel 11th-gen Core-based notebook line-up contains a ZenBook Flip S, for the first time in quite a while. This new variant (the UX371) features the new OLED NanoEdge PANTONE-validated panel as many of its new siblings. It also has Thunderbolt 4 and stands out with a premium build and an accented colorway.

Asus has augmented its new notebook/2-in-1 line-up with the UX371, or ZenBook Flip S, a product name that has not seen an update since 2017. However, it is back with a 4K UHD OLED NanoEdge display rated to cover 100% of the DCI-P3 color-space. This screen also supports the VESA DisplayHDR 500 True Black standard, and is TÜV Rheinland-certified to help conserve eye health.

The high-end display, like that of the ZenBook Flip 13, also supports the Asus Pen. This 13-inch convertible is powered by up to 11th-gen <strike>Tiger Lake</strike> Intel Evo Core i7 processors and Iris Xe graphics. On its introduction, Asus noted that its build has been the first to be certified as designed for these freshly-launched internals.

They are packaged in a "premium" chassis finished in Jade Black with Red Copper accents. This detail is "diamond-cut" - a challenge to the HP Spectre x360's level of style, perhaps? The new ZenBook Flip S also has options on up to 16GB of RAM and PCIe 3.0 x4 SSDs with up to 1TB in capacity.

Its star I/O may be its 2 USB type C ports with Thunderbolt 4, which are present alongside 1 USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type A port and 1 HDMI port. Asus claims that the (albeit non-specific) "high" capacity of the new notebook's battery may help it last up to 15 hours between charges.

The ZenBook Flip S UX371 will start to become available from October 2020 in North America.
