ASUS ZENBOOK

ASUS is still betting on thinness and feather weights in its new devices. During his Computex 2017 event, the Taiwanese company presented its latest convertible laptop this morning, the ASUS Zenbook Flip S. Its main attraction is that it is the thinnest convertible in the world, and ASUS also defines it as one of the lightest .

The laptop is equipped with seventh generation Intel Core processors, includes a screen that can reach 4K UHD resolution, and as a good convertible, its lid can be opened 360 degrees to enter the "tablet mode". With these features and specifications of maximum range, the device is an interesting response to alternatives such as the new Microsoft Surface Pro.

This is the ultra-thin Asus convertible

The sector of convertible laptops is increasingly nourished. The ASUS bet to make noise on it is called ZenBook Flip S, and its main features are a thickness of 10.9 millimeters and a weight of 1.1 kilos. It has a 360º ErgoLift hinge that raises and tilts the keyboard to adapt it to better writing when the screen opens more than 135 degrees.

The screen of the device is a 13.3 inch with resolutions that will vary depending on the configuration we buy, but that can reach up to 4K UHD. The side edges of this screen will be only 6.11 millimeters, and will have active support for stylus with which to take advantage of the Asus Pen.

Inside are seventh-generation Intel processors such as the Intel Core i7-7500U, as well as a PCIe SSD hard drive of up to 1TB. To maintain the size without overheating, ASUS says it has had to invent a new liquid crystal polymer ventilation system of only 0.3 mm in thickness.

The ZenBook Flip S will use the Windows 10 operating system, and has two type C USB ports. It also has a fingerprint sensor of 16 x 3.6 millimeters, a smaller size according to those who usually equip themselves on laptops, to identify themselves with a single touch Windows Hello you are already in tablet mode or on the laptop.

As for the colors, in the press photos we have seen that there seem to be two, one dark metallic gray and the other bluish metallic with golden patterns as we have seen in other high-end devices of the company.

ASUS ZenBook Flip S, price and availability

All in all, this convertible with which ASUS aspires to compete with the Microsoft Surface ranges will not reach the market until next September. When it does, it will have a price that will start from approximately $ 1,099, but we assume that it will go up depending on the specifications that we want from it.
