From PC World: Asus has a trio of new computers in its ZenBook range that boast lightweight and powerful features, led by the ZenBook Flip S.
The machine measures just 10.9 millimeters thick, making it the world’s thinnest convertible laptop, according to Asus. It weighs 2.4 lbs, but don’t let the size and weight fool you. The ZenBook Flip S UX370 packs the heavyweight punch of Intel’s Corei7-7500U processor and can accommodate up to a terabyte of PCIe SSD storage.
If you’re keeping score—and Asus surely is—it’s about 20 percent thinner than a MacBook and also thinner than the HP Spectre X360. It’s also lighter than both those machines, said Asus Chairman Jonney Shih at a launch event in Taipei on Monday.
Like all convertibles, the screen can be folded all the way around and the laptop used in a tablet configuration. And thanks to a clever hinge design, when the screen is folded back past 135 degrees, the hinge props up the keyboard from the back to angle it more ergonomically for typing.
It has a 4K-resolution (3,840 pixels by 2,160 pixels) touchscreen with support for Windows Ink, the recently launched digital ink system for Windows 10 tablets, with an optional Asus Pen. The screen is protected by Corning’s Gorilla Glass. The computer also has a tiny fingerprint sensor for one-touch login via Windows Hello in laptop or tablet mode.
