Pros: Light, metal exterior, sleek Cons: Fingerprint reader struggles, Brackets that hold screen to keyboard sections feels cheap and coating on them chips (feels like its gonna break in half when i go 180 with the screen), and worst off it is blue screening less than a year after i got it. After peroforming a factory reset and updating everything it no longer blue screens, but if it goes into sleep or hibernation it will not wake up and has to be hard shut down to allow it to boot back up. Overall not happy with the quality of product i got for this price and will have my reservations of getting an ASUS laptop again. Read more

The laptop itself is great. I've had it for 5 months now. I love the touchscreen, fingerprint scanner, and backlit keyboard. The keypad is smooth and the keyboard is not too tough or sensitive. I mostly wear headphones, but when I don't, wow the speaker is amazing. The battery also lasts a long time. The stylus did not work at all, but that's no deal-breaker for me. I cannot part with this baby. **UPDATE** Had this laptop almost seven years now. It is still going strong, and the speed is still fast. Only cons are over heating (cooling pad quick fix), and charging cord can glitch out periodically. Also sometimes when the screen falls asleep, it won't turn back on, so you have to hard power off, then power back on. A few minor inconveniences for an otherwise AMAZING laptop. Was well worth the $900 investment seven years ago. Read more

After daily driving the Zenbook Flip for a couple of years, I can recommend the laptop only to someone who needs the functionality of the 2-in-1. Every other feature on this laptop is lackluster at best. The included stylus is fine, but there are better options out there. The keyboard is designed to mimic apple's poorly designed butterfly keyboard. The keyboard is fine for typing in short bursts, but any prolonged typing session is annoying, as the tactile feedback is absolutely awful, and probably this laptop's worst feature. The trackpad is also a weak point for the laptop. There is too much friction, making any prolonged use annoying. However, the clicking mechanism on the track pad is nice and tactile, a little loud, but acceptable. The windows fingerprint sensor is another weak point for the device, working fine for a month or two, but failing after that. The battery is not a selling point for the Zenbook Flip. I've gotten 6 hours of use out of the battery on the battery saving mode. However, the battery saving mode sacrifices a lot of performance, and I almost never use it. The onboard WiFi card is okay, but connecting to WiFi takes an excruciatingly long time. The onboard speakers fire downward, which leaves sound distorted and muffled, so a pair of earbuds or headphones are a must for any serious media consumption. Overall, the build quality is not great. The keyboard flexes when you type, and the screen is not tightly hinged, meaning the screen is knocked backwards any time you use the touchscreen. The integrated webcam is on the top bezel, which much better than some alternative thin and light laptops with the webcam on the bottom bezel. The webcam is advertised as HD, but the best quality video I can get out of it is 720p at 30fps. Its okay for a casual skype or zoom call, but anything more and you'll want a dedicated webcam. I generally use my laptop for document creation, some very light video editing, and web browsing. Overall the performance is not something to write home about. The included 8GB of DDR3 RAM are sluggish whenever you open web pages, programs, or do just about anything. I would recommend buying a config with more RAM, or upgrading to at least 16GB of RAM yourself. I love the IO on this thin and light laptop. In a market where laptops are moving towards only supporting a few thunderbolt-3 ports, the 2 USB A ports, usb c, full-sized HDMI port, 3.5mm audio jack, and micro SD card reader are a great feature on this laptop. Tablet mode is where this laptop shines. The touchscreen is great, and unusual at this price point. If you really need a touchscreen and tablet mode for cheap, this, or some later models, are definitely for you. The best use case is probably photography. However, if you're a student, traditional office worker, or just want a laptop for your home, I'd look elsewhere. Read more

Had this for a month. Great value at $850, very thin, but well made. I have the i5-8250U model and it's very fast indeed, it would be the minority who would need the power of the i7 model. Much cheaper than the HP or Lenovo "equivalents". Quiet in operation, can't even really hear the fan even when it does spin up. Get the CableMatters USB-C to 3xUSB3 + gigabit ethernet adapter for $20 if you need ethernet connectivity when at home or office. Otherwise the WiFi adapter in this model is very fast. I get speeds upwards of 200Mbit/sec (25MB/sec) copying a large file across my network. I got a bluetooth mouse as well so that I wouldn't have to spoil the edge of the laptop with a bump out from even a micro-USB receiver from that kind of mouse. Others have complained about the fingerprint reader, I haven't had an issue with it at all, very fast and no issues reading my prints. The touchpad is very smooth and responsive. If multiple users have their fingerprints registered, you don't have to click on the user's name before scanning finger, just put anyone's finger on the reader and it will match it with that person's login and you will see the desktop in less than a couple of seconds. More of a "Windows 10 Hello" feature than a feature of this specific laptop, but I thought it was worth mentioning. For a while I have wanted a keyboard that is backlit and this one is good and gives you three levels of brightness. One thing you MUST do is get the SSD version. I don't know why anyone would build a really nice spec machine like this and cripple it with a slow spinny hard drive. Get the SSD version and you will not be disappointed. Battery life is good, it will go for 6-8 hours with the screen at medium brightness and performing non CPU-intensive tasks, just browsing and MS-Office won't tax this thing at all. Read more
