Asus is bringing Intel Arc discrete graphics to its Zenbook pro lineup, starting with the Asus Zenbook Pro 15 Flip OLED, a convertible notebook with a 15.6 inch, high-res OLED display, a 12th-gen Intel Core H-series processor and support for up to Intel Arc graphics.
The convertible notebook also has a 360-degree hinge, which allows you to use the notebook in laptop or tablet modes, and it supports an Asus Pen 2.0 digital stylus for pressure-sensitive input.
With a 2880 x 1620 pixel OLED display featuring 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, Dolby Vision, and a 120 Hz refresh rate, discrete graphics, and support for up to an Intel Core i7-12700H processor, it’s easy to see why Asus is positioning the laptop as a “Pro” device aimed at content creators.
But it tops out at just 16GB of LPDDR5-4800 MHz memory, which is not user upgradeable. And Asus offers configurations with just up to 1TB of storage with top speeds of 3200MB/s, so if you want raw horsepower, you might be better off with one of the company’s other offerings.
The laptop does have a few other nice features though, including a 96 Wh battery, dual Thunderbolt 4 ports plus an HDMI 2.0 port, and support for WiFi 6E. Measuring just under 4 pounds, the ZenBook Pro 15 Flip OLED is also reasonably portable for a 15 inch notebook.
Other features include a fingerprint reader, IR camera, backlit keyboard with single-zone RGB lighting, and support for Dolby Atmos audio.
When is it coming out?
