At CES 2018, ASUS announced ZenBook Flip 14 (UX461), the world’s thinnest 2-in-1 laptop to use high-performance graphics option. This new ZenBook Flip model features a 14-inch, 360°-flippable NanoEdge slim-bezel touchscreen that supports the ASUS Pen active stylus. It is powered by 8th Generation Intel Core™ i7 quad-core processor, up to 16GB RAM, and up to a 512GB PCIe SSD. For high-performance graphics needs, ASUS has added NVIDIA GeForce MX150 graphics which is based on Pascal architecture to deliver desktop-level performance.

Thanks to the special 57Wh lithium-polymer battery, ZenBook Flip 14 offers up to 13 hours of battery life and using fast-charge technology, you can recharge it to 60% capacity in just 49 minutes. Despite packing all these power, it measures an incredible 13.9mm thin and weighs as little as 1.4kg.

For great visual experiences, ASUS has used its display technologies to achieve wide 100% sRGB color gamut and TV-grade 1000:1 contrast ratio to ensure more-vivid, more-lifelike colors. And Harman Kardon-certified ASUS SonicMaster audio system featuring a tailored mix of superior hardware — including smart amplifier technology delivers louder sound with no distortion. ASUS ZenBook Flip 14 features a USB Type-C port, two USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports, a HDMI port and a microSD Card slot.

ZenBook Flip 14 will be available in March 2018 starting at just $899.
