Product Review – ASUS ZenBook Flip UX362F is a flip laptop loaded with powerful features

We all need a personal computer or a laptop in our life which is as an important companion as our own family member. For busy professionals and those who are on frequent travel it is imperative to own a light laptop and with the advent of technology and new design, an era of lightweight laptops has arrived.

From the era of ordinary laptops, idea of 2-in-1 devices have been evolved. This idea was to bring more versatility to the earlier obsolete design for say those who want the best of both worlds from their laptops. Several brands hopped into the idea and created several different form factors of 2-in-1 idea as well. Some created 360-degree hinge just like Asus ZenBook Flip UX362F while few others made it detachable in order to make it more comfortable to use as a tablet.

We had received a blue colour ZenBook to experience first impressions and provide our review on the product. At the outset it is a sleek premium laptop carved in aluminium and gave us a premium feel. Many players like Dell, Acer and Asus have brought light weight premium laptops in the market.
