Expert tester comments
The ASUS Zenbook Flip 14 is a good all-rounder if you want both a laptop and a tablet. Its 14-inch form factor toes the line between comfortable ease of use when used as a conventional laptop, and decent mobility when used as a tablet device. You also get a good amount of connectivity built in, such as HDMI, a microSD card slot, a couple of USB 3.0 ports, and a USB-C port. Note: This laptop's performance is not directly comparable to current products due to it being tested with an older version of our benchmark.
