Asus ZenBook Flip: A sleek, affordable 2-in-1 for everyday tasks

Source: Watch the video at go.pcworld.com/asus flipvid

THE ASUS ZENBOOK Flip has a cute name, and that’s kind of the vibe we get from using it, too. At just $749, it’s a notebook that doesn’t try to be the most powerful or most advanced 2-in-1. Instead, the Flip (go.pcworld.com/asusflipamz) offers a slim and portable design that’s easy to afford and easy to use.

Really, this laptop reminds us a little of the netbooks that existed about 10 years ago. However, unlike those painfully underpowered systems, the Flip’s Core m processor can actually get work done. Storage is plentiful, too: Asus offers two versions of this 2-in-1, and they’re essentially the same aside from the SSD. The base model comes with a 256GB SSD for $699, and the second model comes with a 512GB SSD for $50 more. Our review unit sported the 512GB drive, but our critique applies to both models.

At the top of the bezel is a 1.2MP webcam.
