Talking about the overall performance of the ASUS Zenbook 14 Flip OLED, we have used the laptop for 2 weeks. Its performance is good. However, while using Google Chrome, we have seen the problem of hanging 2 times out of 10. The laptop can be used like a tablet, but it gets a little hot from the side, so you may face difficulty in using it while keeping it on your lap. Apart from this, you will have a lot of fun while scrolling social media, watching videos, and listening to music.
Battery backup:
The Asus ZenBook 14 Flip OLED packs a 75Whr battery, along with support for 65W fast Type-C port charging. The laptop’s battery is good in terms of backup. However, its battery backup suggestion is not accurate. Sometimes it says 2 hours of backup even in full charging and sometimes it says 9 hours.
Once you fully charge the laptop, you will easily get 5-6 hours of backup for office work. When used without the internet and watching movies or videos, the laptop can be used comfortably for 9-10 hours. It takes about 2 hours for the laptop to be fully charged.
Conclusion:
Overall, the performance, build, display and battery life of the Asus ZenBook 14 Flip OLED are good. However, we did not like its webcam that much. If you want to buy a normal use laptop with a touch screen, then this can be a good option for you.
