The ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 offers a higher resolution touchscreen and lighter weight, making it suitable for someone seeking portability and vibrant screen quality for tasks like design or video editing. On the other hand, the Eluktronics RP-15 has a more powerful graphics card and higher refresh rate screen which is ideal for intensive gaming and tasks like 3D rendering or machine learning. The RP-15's larger size and heavier weight make it less portable, and it might not last as long on battery as the Zenbook. If cost is a factor, the RP-15 is typically less expensive, but consider the implications for portability and battery life if you're often on the move. Give Feedback

Tom's Hardware
Charles Jefferies | January 2023
"The Asus Zenbook S 13 Flip is an ultra-sleek 2-in-1 convertible. A gorgeous OLED screen and lightweight magnesium chassis make this convertible a traveller’s dream. Its SSD isn’t fast, but it won’t hold you back in everyday use. Its battery life also isn’t class leading, but it’s hardly off the pace. Overall, the Zenbook S 13 Flip OLED holds its head high in the premium convertible category and is a smaller alternative to the Spectre x360 13.5 and the Yoga 9i Gen 7."

"To conclude, I’m genuinely impressed with Eluktronics and what they have been able to deliver with the RP-15. You see this is all about maximizing performance, cooling, and giving users the most flexible I/O, and then wrapping it into a chassis that doesn’t feel super cheap. Let’s also not forget the price point, I think they have really nailed it in that department."
