The ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 offers a high-resolution 4K touchscreen display with excellent color accuracy, making it ideal for tasks that require detailed visuals, such as photo editing. It's also a versatile 2-in-1 with a stylus for note-taking or drawing. However, its performance is more suited for general use and light engineering tasks due to its integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics. With a midrange price, it provides a good balance of portability and performance, though the battery life is average. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 16 boasts a larger 16-inch OLED display with a high refresh rate of 120Hz, which is great for smooth visuals and is especially beneficial for fast-paced gaming or content consumption. Its Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor and Adreno 750 GPU offer good performance for general use, with potentially better battery life given the OLED screen's efficiency. The Galaxy Book4 Edge 16 is also a 2-in-1, offering the flexibility of a tablet, and it comes with the latest Windows 11 Home operating system. If you prioritize a larger, smooth-motion display and potentially longer battery life for general use and light gaming, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 16 is a strong contender. However, for more vibrant color reproduction and a slightly more compact form factor without compromising on performance for everyday tasks, the ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 is a solid choice. Consider your primary use cases and whether the larger screen and newer OS of the Samsung outweigh the color accuracy and versatility of the ASUS. Give Feedback

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."
