ASUS launches refreshed ZenBook Flip 13 with OLED

2021/02/02

ASUS launched a refreshed ZenBook Flip 13 (UX363) that is now verified on the Intel Evo Platform for an exceptional mobile experience with exciting updates including 11th Generation Intel Core i7 processor and Intel Iris Xe graphics. ASUS also updated the display to a 13.3" FHD OLED NanoEdge touchscreen for absolute vibrant visuals.

ZenBook Flip 13 is the world’s thinnest convertible laptop to include full-size HDMI and USB Type-A ports — as well as two of the latest Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports — for uncompromised on-the-go connectivity. Silky-smooth performance is ensured by matching the new processors and graphics with 16 GB 4266MHz RAM and 512 GB PCIe 3.0 SSD.

Measuring just 13.9 mm thin and weighing only 1.3 kg, the compact ZenBook Flip 13 has a precision-engineered 360° ErgoLift hinge that allows versatile usage modes: laptop, tablet, tent, stand, or anything in between. It also automatically lifts and tilts the new edge-to-edge keyboard for comfortable typing and improved system cooling.

With a high-capacity 67 Wh battery that can deliver up to 14 hours of operation on a single charge, ZenBook Flip 13 is perfect for today’s work-anywhere lifestyles. ZenBook Flip 13 supports fast charging with the supplied 65-watt charger, and ASUS USB-C Easy Charge allows users to take advantage of a wide range of standard USB-C or USB-C Power Delivery (PD) chargers.

New OLED display

ZenBook Flip 13 is now available with a vivid 13.3-inch FHD OLED NanoEdge touchscreen. The display offers an ultrawide color gamut of 100% DCI-P3, which is widely used in the motion picture industry, and features slim 3.9 mm bezels that maximize the screen space while reducing the laptop’s footprint.

Color accuracy is usually represented by a 2D color-gamut diagram that shows how colors are faithfully reproduced, but only at a particular brightness level. However, since the ability to reproduce colors accurately at different levels of brightness is crucial, ASUS OLED panels are calibrated to accurately reproduce colors in a 3D color volume — showing what the panel would reproduce at 100% DCI-P3 color gamut regardless of brightness level. This ensures all content is displayed accurately and as intended by its creators, not just at full brightness but at any brightness setting. This is especially important for HDR content. As a result, our OLED touchscreen color volume is up to 1.6X greater than a traditional LCD.

With the extreme contrast and accurate color reproduction at any level, everything looks crisp and vibrant – even within darker content. This helps with eye comfort, too: users can dial down the brightness, without losing contrast and color vibrancy. ZenBook Flip 13’s OLED display also manages the blue-light ratio to reduce potentially harmful emissions by up to 70%, with TÜV Rheinland certification for low blue-light emissions — promising greater care for the user’s eyes, ever after many hours of use.

New high-performance hardware

Equipped with up to the latest 11th Generation Intel Core i7 processor and all-new Intel Iris Xe graphics, ZenBook Flip 13 is verified as an Intel Evo laptop, a new platform that ensures premium performance and responsiveness, efficient battery usage, and stunning visuals for an exceptional mobile experience.

ZenBook Flip 13 also features 16 GB of 4266 MHz LPDDR4X RAM, combined with a 512 GB PCIe 3.0 SSD for quiet and ultrafast storage.

The WiFi 6 (802.11ax) in ZenBook Flip 13 lets users enjoy smooth streaming of 4K UHD online videos and data transfers at faster-than-wired speeds of up to 2.4 Gbps. WiFi performance is optimized with ASUS WiFi Master Premium technology, which includes ASUS WiFi Stabilizer and ASUS WiFi SmartConnect. For rock-solid stability, WiFi Stabilizer filters out wireless interference, so users will always enjoy the fastest possible speeds. WiFi SmartConnect, a feature in the built-in MyASUS app, ensures that ZenBook Flip 13 automatically selects the best WiFi source, connecting seamlessly to the best WiFi signal and known mobile hotspots.

Design and interface

The distinctively elegant ZenBook Flip 13 has an all-new design that matches ZenBook 13/14 and combines ultimate portability with supreme versatility. It’s surprisingly light at just 1.3 kg, and it’s a mere 13.9 mm thin, so it’s perfect for on-the-go productivity and creativity.

Even with its super-slim design, ZenBook Flip 13 offers comprehensive I/O capabilities. Featuring full-size HDMI, USB Type-A and two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports, it’s the world’s thinnest OLED convertible laptop with such an impressive list of full-size ports.

ZenBook Flip 13 also features the innovative ASUS NumberPad 2.0. This is a dual-function touchpad —30% larger than the previous model — that incorporates an LED-illuminated numeric keypad for easy data entry. A dedicated icon on the touchpad allows NumberPad to be easily turned on or off, and intelligent software allows it to be used for cursor control even when NumberPad is activated.

The innovative 360° ErgoLift hinge on ZenBook Flip 13 has a precision-engineered metal multi-gear mechanism that’s cleverly designed to lift and tilt the new edge-to-edge keyboard into a comfortable typing position while improving cooling airflow when the NanoEdge display is opened beyond 135°. The edge-to-edge keyboard design also adds space for a whole new row of function keys on the right-hand side. The ErgoLift hinge holds the display securely at any angle, allowing the versatile ZenBook Flip 13 to be used in laptop, tablet, stand or tent modes — or anything in between. In tablet mode, the dual-action hinge automatically rotates out of the way to allow the display to fold flat against the base.

All day battery life

ZenBook Flip 13 uses a high-capacity battery that allows users to work for up to 14 hours on a single charge. Its fast-charge technology allows it to be recharged to 60% capacity in as little as 49 minutes, so users can be up and running quicker than ever.

ASUS USB-C Easy Charge support allows ZenBook Flip 13 to be charged from a wide range of standard USB-C chargers. User can enjoy ultrafast charging with any USB Power Delivery-certified charger, including the supplied 65-watt fast-charge adapter. Alternatively, users can charge their device on the go with airline chargers, portable chargers or power banks.
