ASUS has pioneered the birth of convertible devices, and can rightly be considered the old-timers. Over time, the brand has not handed over their positions and did not disappoint the fans, as evidenced by the considerable demand for its products.
The hero of this – ASUS ZenBook Flip UX360CA review, capable of receiving one of four positions, that is, scroll 360 degrees on its axis. In addition to this feature, this notebook has good technical characteristics, as well as a stylish appearance. Let’s get acquainted closer.
DESIGN
ASUS ZenBook Flip UX360CA review is available in two colors: gray (Mineral Gray) and gold (Icicle Gold). On the cover, there are concentric circles, which had become a sort of attribute of this brand of premium devices. Note that the rear panel, as well as the entire body is made of aluminum, which has a positive effect on the duration of “life” device. In the middle of the cover we see a company logo, no other items here. By the way, the surface of the panel and a matte rather easily soiled, especially fingerprints visible on the gray coloring, so always keep a napkin in the field of vision.
After opening eyes the notebook display, surrounded by a black frame. It contains a minimum number of parts: the top you can see the Web camera icon, the bottom – another small logo. The bottom and top are connected by two hinges, quite strong, in any case, the transformation takes place without any problems.
By the way, about her, as we have already mentioned, ASUS ZenBook Flip UX360CA review can take one of four modes, namely, laptop, tablet, and the presentation of the console. Of course, the first two are paramount for many, however, the others also are in demand, albeit smaller. Of course, in a position where the angle of the screen up to 180 degrees and above, the keyboard and the touchpad is automatically disabled to prevent accidental operation.
For portability and compactness of the laptop definitely gets an “excellent”, because its dimensions are 323h220h14 mm and weighs less than 1.3 kg mark. Thus, it can be easy to take on a business trip, study or just for a walk – the device will fit even in a small bag, and will not delay the severity of the shoulder.
DISPLAY, AUDIO, AND WEBCAM
The 13.3-inch screen was Full HD-resolution (279 ppi) and a diagonal, it is probably the best. The maximum rate of brightness reaches 320 cd / m2, contrast – 1400: 1. The surface gloss, which makes working outdoors with the device is inconvenient: you will interfere with the constant glare. The room, on the contrary, you will not experience any problems, because the image on the output is a bright, rich and realistic.
IPS matrix promotes good viewing angles, and even when you change the angle, which is especially important for the transformer, there is no inversion of color are always juicy. By the way, matching sRGB color space is 93%, the AdobeRGB significantly less – 60%. Accordingly, the user can try to perform certain specific tasks, such as processing of photos, but first display stands still calibrated. The capacitive screen supports 10-finger multi-touch, it responds well to commands, executing them without a hitch and braking.
Two speakers ASUS SonicMaster located on the bottom of the notebook, closer to the front edge. About them, I would like to write something good but unfortunately did not succeed. The fact that wheezing sound at a high volume, low frequencies are missing, and not for that high praise. For most everyday tasks, like video playback, speakers should be enough, but we are still advised to stock up on headphones.
The notebook ASUS ZenBook Flip UX360CA review has only one webcam, its resolution – 720p. Of course, count on the fact that you can take pictures with it, we should not, in any event, details of such images clearly not happy. But for video calling capabilities webcam will be enough.
KEYBOARD AND TOUCHPAD
Keyboard transformer slightly recessed into the working surface. The keys are made on island principle, they are large, so space around is not so much. The keypad is a full-sized, square-shaped buttons, marking depends on the color of the notebook (in the gray version is white in gold – dark). It should be noted elaborate form of frequently used keys: [Enter] single-row, she, like [Shift], oblong. The same can be said about the [BackSpace], [Caps Lock] and the remaining useful buttons. A switch unit is small, but it is a bit further from the keyboard unit, and it is convenient to get.
Numpad, by itself, is not – it is a privilege of larger laptops. As for the quality of typing, then it is possible that many users will not have enough stiffness when pressed. However, if you are constantly working on this unit, you will soon get used to such nuances. And that’s what the manufacturer would like to put a «Dislike», so it’s a lack of lighting, despite the fact that ASUS ZenBook Flip UX360CA belongs to the premium segment. And another thing: during intensive typing, you will probably notice subsidence in the center of the keyboard. They are not very strong, but still tangible.
Go to the touchpad: it turned out quite large, with a smooth surface on which it is pleasant to slide your finger. Manipulator supports various multi-touch gestures, such as scrolling, zooming, touch, drag, and drop, etc. No physical keys, but in the center of the lower half of the vertical divider can be seen. That he points to an area that corresponds to the right and left mouse buttons. The touch-sensitive area, it responds quickly to commands and executes them quickly.

PORTS AND COMMUNICATIONS
With interfaces, things are very good, especially when you consider that we are talking about Transformers and not the full-fledged laptop. So, on the left side of the visible port USB 3.0, card reader SD, power button and volume rocker.
The right side has a port USB Type-C and USB 3.0, video output Micro-HDMI, and a combined audio jack socket for charging the device.

Thus, in idle mode, the minimum device brightness will run about 17 hours would be higher than the brightness, the correspondingly less time it will be able to function. Internet surfing defuses ASUS ZenBook Flip UX360CA review for about 6 hours on the average brightness and the maximum load (with the highest brightness) – 3 hours. Thus, the combined use, when a transformer is partially working and partially “resting” in a simple, will use it throughout the day, which, of course, very happy.
The notebook ASUS ZenBook Flip UX360CA review has a passive cooling system. It should be noted that the case of the novelty is almost not heated, only during peak load, its bottom gets warm but not scalding hot.

And I must say that stand-alone figures do not let us down!
The keyboard is comfortable to use, but with intensive typing it a little pressed. This is not a critical disadvantage, however, this feature is available, and it would be wrong to turn a blind eye to it. Cost us the described configuration is $ 1,300, which by today’s standards – in the normal range.
