Just announced at Compu-tex 2017, the ZenBook Flip S (UX370) is now the thinnest convertible laptop you can buy. It's just 0.429" thick, which in more meaningful terms makes it 55% thinner than a Mac-Book Air. The body is formed from aerospace-grade aluminum, and it weighs less than 2.5 lbs. The display is a full HD/4K 13.3" that rotates a full 360 degrees on ErgoLift hinges for use as a tablet. The screen is Gorilla Glass with multitouch, and it uses an active stylus that meets the Windows Ink standard. The graphics are driven by Integrated Intel HD 620, and the screen has extremely thin bezels (0.24"). The processor is available up to Intel Core 17 (seventh generation), running Windows 10 S. Memory is up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB on a solid-state drive. There's a side-mounted fingerprint sensor that uses Windows Hello in either laptop or tablet mode, and it has a built-in HD camera and array microphone. Asus claims 11.5 hours on its 2-cell, 39 Wh battery with Quick Charging Technology. Check www.asus.com for news on the release date and prices for the different configurations.
