ASUS is always coming out with head-turning devices, but the ASUS ZenBook Flip S might just be the one that really grabs your attention. Let’s take a look at it!
There’s nothing particularly striking about the box.
And this one’s pretty beat up when we got it, but that happens. Everything on the inside is fine.
Jumping straight to the contents — here’s the power brick.
It’s USB-C so it can also charge your smartphone — so long as it also has a USB-C port.
You also get a USB to LAN cable and a USB-C to 3.5mm audio jack cable.
Opening the inner box reveals the laptop plus some product information.
Digging in a little further, you’ll see it comes with a pen.
It’s worth noting that there’s no holster on the laptop for the stylus. You’re gonna have to keep it safe at all times and store it somewhere in your bag or your pocket to make sure you don’t lose it.
And the usual manual and warranty card.
Ta-dah! Here’s the ASUS ZenBook Flip S.
With that patented concentric circle design originating from the ASUS logo. Nice and sleek.
Like plenty of ASUS laptops, the screenpad also doubles as the numpad.
Over on the right side are the power button and the USB-A port.
And on the left, an HDMI port along with two USB-C ports.
The fun thing about 2-in-1s is that you can spread it out like this.
It’s a bending ability that we recently realize can come in handy.
You can, of course, use it as a regular laptop.
But there’s also this tent mode perfect for consuming media.
Then, there’s tablet mode which works nicely for something like this that’s relatively light.

You are working with an OLED touch screen so that’s fantastic for your eyes.

The keys on the keyboard though are a tad smaller than we’d like.
It might take a few hours to a few days to really get used to the keys. They just seem off by a fraction of a millimeter but it does make a difference. No complaints on key travel though, just the size of the keys.
Inside it is the latest 11th Generation Intel Core i7 processor and Intel Iris X graphics, combined with up to 16GB of RAM and up to a 1TB PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD. That means it can practically handle most regular office tasks. It’s actually overpowered for that kind of work.
After about a week of usage, we can say this can power through a regular workday and then some. You’ll have enough juice to watch an episode or two as you wind down for the day.
It retails for PhP 94,995 and could possibly be the sexiest piece of tech you can own.
More details on the ZenBook Flip S here.

Looking for cosmetics brands inside a Watsons store? Nowadays, the chances are you’d come across some Logitech products too.
Logitech, a brand known for its tech devices such as headphones, keyboards, and mice, has partnered with Watsons — yes, the popular beauty and health retailer.
The interesting development means all 28 Watsons locations in Singapore, as well as the shop’s online store, will have Logitech’s various products on display and ready to be purchased.
According to Logitech’s Bernard Chow, the Head of Cluster for Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines, the move tries to cement the brand’s identity as not only a “tech” brand but also a “lifestyle” brand.
Among the products to be sold in Watsons stores are the following:
- K380 multi-device Bluetooth keyboard: SG$ 59
- Pebble wireless mouse M350: SG$ 45
- Lift vertical ergonomic mouse: SG$ 119
- POP wireless mouse: SG$ 54
- BRIO 500: SG$ 199
- Zone Vibe 100 wireless over-the-ear headphones: SG$ 159
On the part of the Watsons, making tech devices available on its stores’ shelves also allows the brand to expand outside of beauty and health products, integrating such products to cater to an even broader customer demographics.
