The ASUS UX360CA-AH51T is a bestselling 2-in-1 ultrabook that has been praised for its light and compact design, large SSD, vibrant touchscreen display and for its zero noise thanks to its fanless design. However, the processor is less powerful than most of the i5 processors on the market and is not suited for processor heavy applications. While the processor is not quite as powerful, it will still outperform the Celeron and Pentium processor that Intel offers for the budget market. The key selling point of the ASUS UX360CA-AH51T is that its display can be folded 360 degrees backwards to turn this ultrabook into a Windows 10 tablet.

Critic Reviews
- Laptop Mag September 29, 2016
Our biggest beef with most 2-in-1s is their short battery life. Thanks to its efficient Core m3 processor, the Asus ZenBook Flip UX360CA (starting at $699, reviewed at $749) lasted a very strong 10 hours on our battery test. This fanless 3-pound convertible also runs super-quiet and sports a colorful 13-inch display you can use in laptop or tablet mode. The UX360CA isn't very speedy, but overall, it's a good value.

With the Zenbook Flip, Asus has combined its knack for thin and light laptops with a 360-degree hinged screen design to make a high-class convertible laptop. The Zenbook is expensive, but it's one of the finest examples of a convertible laptop around.

The Asus ZenBook Flip has a cute name, and that’s kind of the vibe we get from using it, too. At just $749, it’s a notebook that doesn’t try to be the most powerful or most advanced 2-in-1. Instead, the Flip offers a slim and portable design that’s easy to afford and easy to use.
