ASUS ZenBook Flip S is one of the world's thinnest and lightest convertible laptops, designed for anywhere and everywhere. It combines elegant sophistication with the convenience and versatility of a 360°-flippable display. This ultra-thin, ultra-light convertible is a stylish laptop, a handy tablet — or anything in between. The 8th Generation Intel® Core i7 processor lets you sail through everyday computing tasks with ease. And it supports a stylus, so it's your perfect partner for Windows 10!
Design
Ultra-thin and light
ZenBook Flip S is a timelessly elegant masterpiece, exquisitely crafted from solid aluminum. The chassis is forged from a single block of metal that's carefully honed until it's a mere 10.9mm thin. Weighing just 1.1kg, it's effortlessly portable. And because it's made from premium, aerospace-grade aluminum, it's lighter than standard laptop alloy but 50% stronger.

Stronger by design: aerospace-grade alloy
To achieve amazing lightness without compromising structural strength, ZenBook Flip S is precision-crafted from 6013 aluminum alloy, a premium material commonly specified for automotive and aerospace applications. As well as being 50% stronger than the 6063 alloy used in many standard laptops, this material is also supremely elegant when adorned with the signature ZenBook spun-metal finish*.

Design
Crafted to perfection
Designing ZenBook Flip S required serious engineering prowess and craftsmanship. The ultra-thin profile meant we had to invent the ErgoLift hinge — the world's most compact flippable hinge — to preserve its sleek lines. To accommodate the full-size keyboard, we had to create an ultra-slim surround. To add a touch of luxury, we added brilliant diamond-cut highlights to the edges. ZenBook Flip S is renowned for its unique, stunning looks. You'll instantly recognize the iconic, Zen-inspired spun-metal finish* on the all-metal unibody enclosure — a finish that takes 40 painstaking steps to create.
* Royal Blue color option only.

Pioneering technology, world-renowned design
ZenBook Flip S continues the world-renowned design heritage of the ZenBook Series, with an elegant all-metal unibody. The unique and iconic Zen-inspired spun-metal finish is now even more beautiful, the result of an enhanced 40-step sanding and polishing process. Diamond-cut edges accentuate the slim design, and on the Royal Blue model stunning golden accents are added using a dual-phase anodizing process.

A laptop as prestigious as ZenBook deserves colors that are out of the ordinary. The two stunning themes — Royal Blue and Smokey Grey — each have their own individual inspiration, and each color is designed to work in perfect harmony with the luxurious diamond-cut edges, enhanced on the Royal Blue model with beautiful golden anodizing.
Hinge
Unique 360° ErgoLift hinge
Featuring a precision-engineered multi-gear metal mechanism, the new 360° ErgoLift hinge on ZenBook Flip S has a silky-smooth, stepless action, and it holds the display securely at any angle. This innovative hinge has a dual-action mechanism that lifts and tilts the keyboard into the perfect typing position when the display is opened beyond 135°. To ensure maximum reliability, the ErgoLift hinge is torture-tested by more than 20,000 open/close cycles — so you never have to worry about durability!

Versatile and durable hinge
ZenBook Flip S uses incredibly tough and durable alloy steel in its any-position 360° ErgoLift hinge mechanism. For maximum reliability, the hinge has a unibody design with precision-engineered gears, and to make sure it never lets you down, we torture-tested the design with over 20,000 open/close cycles. The result is that you can switch ZenBook Flip S effortlessly into any mode you wish, at any time — with no hassle!
Innovative ErgoLift mechanism
The innovative ErgoLift hinge mechanism on ZenBook Flip S is cleverly designed to lift and tilts the keyboard by 1.5° — the perfect typing position — when the display is opened beyond 135°. The ErgoLift hinge takes the ZenBook Flip S experience to the next level.
World's most compact hinge
To create the thinnest-ever flippable laptop, we reduced the diameter of the alloy steel 360° hinge to an incredible 3.9mm. A special scratch-resistant coating on the hinge reduces wear, and the dual-action rotation mechanism reduces the stresses exerted during operation, improving reliability and durability.
Display
4K UHD resolution
The NanoEdge multitouch display on ZenBook Flip S offers all the quality you'd expect from such a beautiful laptop. The ultra-sharp screen offers an amazing up to 4K UHD resolution of 3840 x 2160, and it features 178° wide-view technology — so imagery looks great from almost any angle. And with an incredible pixel density of 331ppi, images and text are always pin-sharp and ultra-detailed.

NanoEdge display
When it comes to getting things done, everyone agrees that a bigger display is a better display — because it makes multitasking easier and entertainment more immersive. That's why we've broken all the rules to give ZenBook Flip S the biggest screen possible: the stunning 13.3-inch Full HD NanoEdge display has an ultra-narrow 6.11mm bezel. To maximize viewing comfort, the NanoEdge display also has a matte anti-glare coating that reduces annoying reflections. The result is a laptop with an impressive 80% screen-to-body ratio* that maximizes the screen area while minimizing overall size — so you can see and do more, while carrying less!

ASUS TruVivid
The groundbreaking ASUS TruVivid direct-bonding technology used in the ZenBook Flip S eliminates extra layers of glass to improve brightness and reduce reflections by 67%, for clearer outdoor viewing. 178° wide-view technology ensures image clarity at almost any viewing angle, so it's ideal for shared viewing with friends or colleagues.
To create a display that's lightweight, ultra-slim and durable, we covered the ZenBook Flip S display with super-strong Corning® Gorilla® Glass, which is 10x tougher than standard soda-lime glass. This amazing new material is 10 times better than soda-lime glass. It's less likely to break in daily use, so it's stronger and safer than ever before.

Ultra-realistic visuals
ASUS Tru2Life video technology makes your videos look amazing. Using intelligent software that optimizes every pixel in every video frame, you'll enjoy the best possible image quality. The smart algorithms in ASUS Tru2Life analyze the brightness histogram for each video pixel in each frame, then intelligently adjust the brightness and black level values, as well as optimizing over one million sharpness values per frame. This can improve the contrast by up to 150%, bringing out hidden detail in dark areas while keeping bright areas as brilliant as ever!

The coolest of cool
The challenge in creating an ultra-fast, ultra-thin laptop boils down to basic physics. To prevent the laptop enclosure from getting too hot, warm air inside needs to be expelled as quickly as possible. To solve this problem, ASUS engineers had to invent a brand-new cooling system using state-of-the-art components such as a liquid-crystal-polymer fan impeller that's just 0.3mm thin. This innovative cooling system also incorporates a vapor chamber that can spread heat in two dimensions and improve all-round heat dissipation by up to 50%.

The secret of great speaker design
The stereo speakers in ZenBook Flip S employ 2x-larger magnets, 1.5x-larger voice coils than the previous generation, making them even more powerful for an immersive audio experience. The smart amplifier allows the speakers to be driven further — in fact, 3x louder than they would be with a normal amplifier — without any risk of audio distortion or speaker damage. The result is smooth and powerful bass, and clear mids and highs — a full range of sound that has to be heard to be believed.
