The ASUS ZenBook series has easily been one of the more popular laptop series in recent memory. Now, the series has three noteworthy and incredible additions — The ZenBook Flip S, ZenBook S, and ZenBook Flip 13.

ZenBook Flip S

Easily the most premium of the bunch, the ZenBook Flip S headlines the newest members of the ZenBook Series.

It has red copper diamond-cut highlights to complement its timeless jade black finish. It also has a brushed-aluminum deco bar above the edge-to-edge keyboard that adds a subtle finishing touch.

ZenBook Flip 13

If you’re hell bent on getting something that, well… bends, there’s the ZenBook Flip 13. It doesn’t quite evoke the same elegance as the other two additions in the series. But, make no mistake, it still looks sleek and you won’t feel bad carrying this around.

Inside, it’s powered by the Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor with 1.00 GHz quad-core with Turbo Boost (up to 3.60 GHz) and 6 MB cache supported by Intel Iris X graphics. It has an 8GB 4266 MHz LPDDR4x and 512GB PCIe NVMe 3.0 x2 M.2 SSD for its RAM and ROM combo.

It shares the same ports as the ZenBook Flip S and ZenBook S. As for the display, it’s also 13.3-inch and is 16:9 just like the Flip S. For connectivity, it also WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0 and promises up to 14 hours of battery life.

GENTLE MONSTER Huawei Eyewear II — a premiere fashion meets tech wearable, is now officially in the Philippines.

A more comfortable and immersive wearing experience

The temples of GENTLE MONSTER Eyewear II is made of plastic titanium for lower density and lighter weight. This should guarantee a more comfortable wearing experience for the user. Meanwhile, Huawei constructed the temple hinges out of titanium elastic to increase the eyewear’s holding strength.

The eyewear also comes with a 20-degree curved earpiece angle, which is a huge improvement from its predecessor’s 12-degree angle.

Like before, the smart eyewear still includes a unique acoustic design that adapts to the user and their environment. Two semi-open speakers on both sides of the temples transmit sound directly through a directional chamber, reducing leakage and providing a stereo-like listening experience. To further reduce sound leakage, the temple features a leakage hole design that offset sound waves.

The eyewear also has an adaptive volume technology that can lower or raise the speaker volume accordingly depending on the surrounding noise.

Smarter eyewear features

The Gentle Monster Eyewear II also features updated gesture controls. Pairing the eyewear is much simpler now, with users only needing to pinch the left temple to start the process. Meanwhile, double-tapping on the left temple activates the eyewear’s voice assistant.

Swipe gestures are also included in the eyewear. A few swipes on the temples either play the next/previous song or raises/lower the eyewear’s volume.

Huawei rates the GENTLE MONSTER Eyewear II for five hours of continuous music playback. The eyewear improved upon its predecessor by bundling a new NFC wireless charging technology allowing quick and hassle-free charging anytime, anywhere.

Pricing and availability

The GENTLE MONSTER x Huawei Eyewear II is now available wherever you can get Huawei devices in the Philippines. It retails for PhP 21,999.

This product joins a lineup of outstanding Huawei audio devices. Pricing are as follows:

• Freebuds Pro — PhP 7,999
• Freelace Pro — 4,999
• Freebuds Studio — 15,999
