Design and Build
The laptop uses an aluminum-alloy body with good structural rigidity and a premium finish. The ErgoLift hinge is firm and allows a full 360-degree rotation, so the device is practical in multiple modes. The reported dimensions and low weight support frequent travel use. The source review also notes MIL-STD-810G compliance for everyday durability scenarios.
Display, Audio, and Webcam
The 13.3-inch 4K OLED panel is one of the main strengths of this model. The source describes strong sharpness, vivid color, and stable image quality across viewing angles, with brightness around 400 nits. The touchscreen supports stylus input, which is useful for note-taking and creative work. Dual speakers with Harman/Kardon certification and ASUS SonicMaster are described as clear enough for media and calls, while the HD webcam is suitable for video meetings.
Keyboard and Input
The keyboard spans the deck and is tuned for comfortable long typing sessions, with backlighting for low-light work. The touchpad is large and responsive, supports multi-touch gestures, and includes a touch numeric keypad mode. Stylus support (4096 pressure levels) adds flexibility for drawing and annotation workflows.
Performance and Daily Use
With the Core i7-1165G7, Intel Iris Xe graphics, 16 GB RAM, and a 1 TB SSD, this configuration is positioned for office work, multitasking, media tasks, and light content creation. The source also indicates that some games can run at moderate settings, while this machine is primarily aimed at productivity and premium portable use rather than gaming-first workloads.
Ports, Connectivity, and Battery
Physical connectivity is functional but limited: USB 3.2, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, and HDMI, with one Thunderbolt port used for charging. There is no built-in RJ-45 or 3.5 mm audio jack, so adapters may be required for some setups. Wireless connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0. The 67 Wh battery is rated in the source for up to 15 hours in light use, with lower runtime under heavier workloads.
Verdict
The ASUS ZenBook Flip S UX371EA is a high-end convertible for users who prioritize premium build quality, a compact form factor, and a high-resolution OLED touchscreen. Its main advantages are display quality, strong everyday performance, and flexible 2-in-1 usage. The main compromise is a limited native port selection, especially for users who need wired networking or direct audio output without adapters.
