At Computex annual technology exhibition held in Taiwan, the ASUS company presented a lot of interesting innovations, including the continuation of the Flip line Asus Zenbook Flip UX360CA specs. To us on the review model came top version of golden color (or, as the manufacturer calls it, – Icicle Gold).
In 1996, Toshiba introduced a new notebook world class (the Libretto range), which, thanks to its compact dimensions, was called ultrabook (previously – subnotebook). The appearance on the market of such a powerful player like Apple’s competition only intensified, and to fight for the podium joined by new players. Including the company ASUS, which today is one of the main favorites of the compactness of the race. Her line of ultrabooks ZenBook immediately won the hearts of the miniature fans and became a worthy alternative for Windows supporters.
DESIGN AND BUILD
Housing ultrabook aluminum and has a monolithic structure. Asus Zenbook Flip UX360CA specs thickness of just 13.9 mm, weight – 1.3 kg. The lid is decorated with concentric circles ultrabook, which gives it a sophisticated look. It seems that everything is familiar to ZenBook line, but in practice, the design is very different from other models. It looks fresh and interesting.
Given the complete device structure, a great assembly. Nothing is loose, the hinge mechanism works well. The screen opens with one hand without any problems – a big plus. And not because it’s able to other notebooks, it’s just really convenient.
The only negative – rubber bumpers under the screen, used to prevent scratches on the display. After two weeks of use, they are slightly shifted outward.
DISPLAY
There are two versions with FHD and QHD + resolution. As I said, we were hit on the review of the version with QHD + (3200 x 1800 pixels) screen. It is equipped with a 13.3″ IPS-touch display (276 ppi / 178 ° IPS), which is in the knowledge that it is a full-fledged laptop rather than a tablet, is a wow effect.
During operation, I used a sensor instead of the touchpad, for example when surfing online, it’s convenient.
The viewing angles are excellent, rich picture contrast (1,380: 1). But the brightness (350 cd / m² – the maximum stated by the manufacturer) is not always enough. Summer sunny day, the display fades markedly.
KEYBOARD AND TOUCHPAD
The keyboard is full-size Asus Zenbook Flip UX360CA specs. The keys optimum (1.5 mm), and thanks to the monolithic design keyboard does not flex.
The only drawback – it is the lack of lighting. The ultra-solving, it looks strange.
Ultrabook is able to operate in tablet mode. This function can be activated both during use of the device as a notebook and in 360 ° mode. When using the latter, the keyboard, and the touchpad is automatically disabled.
I am a person conservative, rarely use the touchpad. However, the solution from ASUS only leaves a good impression. Touchpad Size average and quite convenient even for large male hands.
Also supports a variety of gestures, which is responsible for the conduct of a special technology ASUS Smart Gesture.
CONNECTORS AND INTERFACES
Despite the fact that the laptop is a little thicker than the latest version of the MacBook-a (12 “), which was limited to just one the USB (Type-C) port, ZenBook Flip has two standard USB Type-A (3.0), USB-port of the standard Type-C 3.5 mm and HDMI connectors and card reader SD format. For a complete happiness is not enough just RG45 (Ethernet), and it can be connected, it is available as an accessory.
Asus Zenbook Flip UX360CA specs equipped with Wi-Fi-module standard 802.11ac (up to 867 Mbit / s), Bluetooth 4.1, and supports the Intel WiDi technology, which allows displaying an image for display on a television (with WiDi support).
AUTONOMY
Autonomy to the Asus Zenbook Flip UX360CA specs manufacturer – at 12 hours. In fact, with the active use of the laptop I spent about 5 hours. In the read-only mode – 10. And then the junior version with FullHD-display is in the black. The fact that the screen consists of a large number of pixels (ppi), each of which is separately illuminated. Accordingly, the smaller the pixel density, the better the performance and energy efficiency (for the same performance) of the device.
The device has an energy-efficient processor and a lithium polymer battery for 54 Vt⋅ch (4590 mAh).
COOLING
As you might guess, with the compactness of a laptop Asus Zenbook Flip UX360CA review is partly to thank the passive cooling system. Aluminium housing in addition to its heat transfer characteristics (202-236 W / (m · K)) pleasantly cools the hand. processor sometimes heated to 75 ° and up under heavy braking. However, this system has its advantages and noiseless operation – one of them.
SOUND SYSTEM
Audio ASUS Flip has two speakers located at the bottom of the device. According to the manufacturer, its development took experts from Bang & Olufsen. She received ICEpower name and uses a special sound enhancement technology SonicMaster, which is a set of software and hardware.
Here it is worth recalling that a successful naming and brand – half the success in marketing. But for the materialization of something is not enough just beautiful words. And the first impression of the sound – “Well, is, as usual.” However, after upgrading the sound driver volume and quality of the sound became much better. From this again convinced that a lot depends on the software component.
FUNCTIONALITY
There are several versions ZenBook Flip 360 manned mobile processors Intel M-Series (Core M3-6Y30, M5-6Y54 and M7-6Y75). I last modification (M7-6Y75 / 1,20 GHz) with Intel HD Graphics integrated graphics 515.
At the opening of twelve tabs (all active) load on the CPU has reached more than 90%, falling one minute to 39% and more over twenty seconds – up to 16%.
When you play a one-minute 4K video in Premiere, a little notebook hangs. However, given the characteristics of the device and the quality of the video, it is justified. However, the activation of the first FPS effect rapidly falling. If you have to work with the formats modest, no problems should arise. But Core M in fact not designed for such complex tasks, but the fact that he copes with them – is commendable.
By purchasing this class of device, the user does not expect to replace a stationary PC and use the Flip Zenbook as a tool with which he copes.
Another difference between various sets (except for the type and size of the display diagonal) is the amount of RAM and ROM (M.2). Their size varies from 4 to 8 GB (LPDDR3; 1886 MHz) and from 128 to 512 GB (ROM), respectively.
CONCLUSION ASUS ZENBOOK FLIP UX360CA SPECS
Asus Zenbook Flip UX360CA specs – a device for browsing, office applications, and multimedia. But if necessary, such a configuration will be enough to work with graphic editors. Since my laptop broke down, and I’m not computer use, the ultrabook has become my primary work machine. Mobility and form factor allow this beautiful place it so that even when working standing up or while traveling, you can use the device without any discomfort.
The younger version Price – $ 900 and above, depending on the configuration.
Pros: ease, compactness, and convenience, the 360 ° format Build.
Cons: price, poor optimization (likely to be corrected), throttling (feature series “M”), the lack of keyboard backlighting (I think this is also flawed sample version).
