The ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 is a versatile 2-in-1 with a high-resolution 4K touchscreen, making it excellent for general use and multimedia consumption with its vibrant display. It's also lightweight and portable, ideal for on-the-go use. However, its Intel Iris Xe graphics may not satisfy demanding gaming or intensive engineering tasks. In contrast, the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i offers a larger 16-inch display with a high refresh rate of 165Hz, which is beneficial for smoother visuals in gaming and fast-motion content. Its dedicated Nvidia RTX 4050 GPU provides better performance for gaming, 3D rendering, and machine learning tasks compared to the ASUS. It also has a more robust port selection and is expected to have a longer battery life. If you prioritize portability, a superior touchscreen experience, and general productivity, the ASUS is a strong contender. However, for more graphically intensive tasks, gaming, and a larger screen with a higher refresh rate, the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i would be the better choice, despite being slightly more expensive and less portable due to its larger size and weight.

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."
