Rs 1,49,990, the ZenBook Flip S (UX371) seems to be a solid laptop for work,
play and entertainment. How does it justify its price tag when put to the
rigours of daily use? Let’s find out:
Design
The ZenBook Flip S
(UX371) is a premium laptop with a convertible design and thin-and-light form
factor. It is only 13.9mm thick and weighs around 1.2kg. Its lightweight build
makes it convenient to use in diverse environments – office, home, cab, metro,
etc. Moreover, its thin profile makes it easy to handle and store; it does not
take much space inside a backpack and fits perfectly in a laptop sleeve cover,
too.
The ZenBook Flip S
(UX371) is a design marvel, at least on the outside. It has a solid build with
red copper diamond-cut highlights running across the borders. The highlights
accentuate the otherwise regular ‘Jade Black’ finish of the laptop. Open the
display lid and it is a different story altogether. The display has thick
bezels around it – especially the one at the bottom – which look superfluous.
While the inside
design is not awe-inspiring, especially the bezels, there is some zing on
account of its black theme, which extends here as well. Like everything else,
the keyboard and the touchpad are also black. The keyboard is backlit and the
touchpad has an integrated LED-illuminated numeric keypad with two separate
touch keys on top sides – one to turn on the numeric keypad and the other to
control its backlight brightness.
