Asus’ ZenBook UX computers are known for their sleek appearance and compact, fanless designs. The upcoming ZenBook Flip UX360CA is no different. What is different, however, is that this model is a convertible notebook rather than a plain-old analog laptop.
Weighing in at 2.9 pounds, this MacBook challenger combines a sixth-gen Intel Core M processor with a 13-inch touch screen display and a 360-degree hinge for transformation into tablet mode.
Measuring in at 12.8″ x 8.7″ x 0.5″, the new ZenBook Flip bears an appreciable 54 Wh battery offering up to a 12-hour battery life in regular use.
With the ZenBook Flip, there are a number of configuration options, according to Asus. Processor-wise, you can choose between a Core M3, M5, and M7, while memory is limited to either 4GB or 8GB. On the storage side, you’re looking at either a 128GB or 512GB of M.2 SSD. Your display choices are 1,920 x 1,080 or 3,200 x 1,800 pixel IPS.
On top of that, you can expect 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1, a single USB Type-C port, two USB 3.0 ports, a micro HDMI port, an SD card reader, a headphone jack, and a pair of 1.6-watt speakers.
