Asus ZenBook Flip UX561UD [UX561UD-BO025R] (90NB0G21-M00870)

Stylish aluminium case

The ZenBook Flip brings together the best features from convertible laptops and high-performance machines.

Externally, the model gives the impression of a neat and stylish thing. The solid body is assembled from high-quality materials (aluminium and some plastic) and leaves a pleasant impression of the assembly. The main body of the body is strong and stable, will not bend or break in the side pocket of the backpack. The same can be said about the display cover.

Eight-thread processor 16 GB RAM

The ZenBook Flip is powered by an eighth-generation Core i7 quad-core, eight-thread chip that runs at 1.8GHz to 4GHz and has 8MB of L3 cache. It is paired with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 video accelerator with 2 GB of GDDR5 video memory. The stock DDR4 RAM out of the box is 16GB, but it can be upgraded up to 24GB. The 512 GB SSD completes the picture.

For game lovers

What can I say? Although this model is in no way related to gaming, it leaves behind many gaming models in terms of power reserve: a modern processor has a good power reserve, the GTX 1050 graphics card draws almost any modern game at high settings, and the SSD memory reserve is enough to store a collection of games . If the collection grows, then you can install an additional drive using the M.2 connector to the current 512 GB.

15" IPS panel

The 15.6-inch multi-touch screen proved to be a convenient secondary input device. The matrix itself is made using IPS technology with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. There is stylus support.

Modern Periphery

For the periphery of the transformer, a pair of high-speed USB 3.0, one USB-C, a full-size HDMI and a card reader are responsible. As additional goodies, it is worth highlighting a Full HD webcam, high-quality speakers from Harman Kardon, a TPM security module, and support for the Thunderbolt interface.

In general, the set is worthy, as well as a very capacious 4550 mAh battery. The volume is quite decent and with economical consumption can last up to 9 hours. In the case of games, the charge will have to be spent on a rather demanding graphics card, so the average operating time will be about 80 – 100 minutes.
