Announcing ASUS Transformer Book Flip
Innovative laptop with 360-degree rotating touchscreen that flips in an instant for use as a powerful laptop, a responsive tablet, or anything in between
ASUS Transformer Book
Flip was announced today, a stylish, innovative and affordable Windows 8.1 laptop
with a remarkable hinge design that enables the screen to be set at any angle between
zero and 360 degrees. Flip is incredibly versatile, and can be used as a
powerful laptop, a responsive tablet, or anything in between.
Flip is powered by Intel® Core™ up to i7
processors and up to NVIDIA® GeForce® GT840M discrete graphics for seamless
multitasking and outstanding performance, whether for productivity,
entertainment or playing the latest games. And with three screen sizes available
— 13.3 inches, 14.0 inches and 15.6 inches — there’s a Flip for everyone!
Flip for computing freedom
ASUS Transformer
Book Flip features a bright and clear up to Full HD 1920 x 1080 touchscreen
with a cleverly-engineered hinge that allows the user to rotate it freely up to
360 degrees from the fully-closed position. Four gears in the hinge provide a smooth,
stepless movement, ensuring that the screen stays exactly where the user wants
it while making it effortless to adjust.
From standard
laptop mode, it’s easy to flip the screen instantly to suit whatever task the
user wants to perform — whether it’s a media stand for watching a movie or viewing
photos, a shared viewer for easy collaboration with friends, family or
colleagues, or a tablet for playing the latest games. An automatic keyboard and
touchpad lock is activated whenever Flip is used in non-laptop modes, so users
won’t have problems with unwanted input.
Flip’s
touchscreen is incredibly accurate and responsive thanks to its high-precision
6mm-diameter actuators, which are more than twice as sensitive as the 9mm
industry standard. Exclusive ASUS Splendid technology gives rich, deep and
vibrant colors to ensure a visually stunning experience for any kind of
content.
Stylish, powerful, and with incredible sound
Flip is
full of clever ASUS engineering, but it’s also designed to be smart and
stylish, with a hairline-textured finish for a touch of luxury. The compact
aluminum chassis gives Flip strength, durability and elegance. The seamless
one-piece chiclet keyboard is ergonomically designed for optimum typing feel,
and the large multi-touch touchpad supports Smart Gestures for precise and
natural fingertip control.
Flip’s
incredible design is complemented by superior performance. It uses powerful,
energy-efficient Intel® Core™ up to i7 processors for superior multitasking and
effortless productivity, while the up to NVIDIA GeForce GT840M discrete
graphics with 2GB of video memory give Flip more than enough graphics power for
smooth video playback or playing the latest games.
Instant On
technology means that Flip only takes two seconds to resume from sleep, and
users don’t need to worry about losing data when in sleep mode for up to 14
days — when the Lithium-polymer battery’s charge drops below 5%, files and data
are automatically backed up.
Exclusive
ASUS SonicMaster audio gives Flip the best audio experience in its class. With
larger speakers and resonance chambers than standard laptops, the audio quality
is spectacular. Users will experience deeper and richer bass, a wider frequency
range, distinct vocals, and pristine clarity. This makes Flip a perfect multimedia
partner, with every song, movie or game sounding better thanks to its carefully
balanced and dynamic audio.
