Chassis, connectors, screen of the Asus VivoBook Flip 14 TP470EA-EC033T
Cooled by a crystal-liquid polymer IceBlade fan (87 blades, thickness 0.2mm), an 8mm heat pipe and air outlets, this versatile 2-in-1 Ultrabook that supports at least 20,000 opening/closing cycles has an elegant and discreet look.
In addition, it offers 3 operating modes Whisper (silence), Balanced (balance) and Performance (performance) between which you can switch via the Fn F key combination while with its ErgoLift hinge, this hybrid Ultrabook can open 360 ° to transform into a Tablet.
The screen is adorned with multi-touch technology: by applying at least one finger on it, by pressing/gestures, you can interact with the software and system.
Due to its bright appearance, the screen revives colors but is prone to reflections in bright environments (e.g. outdoors).
Due to its IPS technology, the screen also has significant viewing angles, both horizontal and vertical. However, its colorimetry is below average, below that of more high-end IPS panels. In any case, the screen lends itself well to the display of videos and more broadly High Definition content because it adopts a 16/9th format associated with a precise Full HD definition.
A backlight solution equips the chiclet keyboard which is convenient to better distinguish its keys when the ambient light is reduced.
On the other hand, numeric keypad point on the right of the keyboard for lack of space, as in any computer with a format smaller than 14 inches.
However, to facilitate the entry of numbers, Asus offers this hybrid mobile computer its NumberPad technology (NumPad) thanks to which you can transform the touchpad into a touchpad when you need it.
On the connectivity side, this 2-in-1 Ultrabook will seduce demanding users with its USB 4 Type-C Thunderbolt 4, its Wi-Fi ax wireless modules(newer and more powerful than Wi-Fi ac) and Bluetooth 5.0 to connect and communicate remotely, its convenient HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or monitor for example without forgetting its 2 USB including 1 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are connected to it. No audio or Ethernet ports though but you can still use a USB to audio or USB to Ethernet adapter.
Performance, battery life of the Asus VivoBook Flip 14 TP470EA-EC033T
The Asus VivoBook Flip 14 TP470EA-EC033T is a compact laptop convertible into a tablet for everyday versatile use.
On the storage side, there is a 512 GB SSD with 32 GB Optane module, an Intel Optane H10solution that we tested. As a reminder, Optane offers a contribution close to an SSD, without however being able to be used for storage and / or software installation. If the contribution of Optane is undeniable associated with a hard disk, it is weak coupled with an SSD.
The fact remains that we get here the advantages of an SSD compared to a hard disk: silence of operation, greater robustness, lower power consumption or even greater velocity.
As a result, the SSD clearly enhances the responsiveness and fluidity on a daily basis compared to a simple hard disk, which implies in particular much faster starts/stops, processing and software launches or a faster arrival on the cards of online games.
Because thanks to the Intel Iris Xe graphics solution integrated into the processor whose performance is significantly higher than that of the UHD 620, you can watch photos and videos but also run games that are not too greedy in 3D resources.
The Iris Xe takes place within the low-power Quad Core i5-1135G7 Tiger Lake, Intel processor here combined with 8 GB of RAM to provide good overall performance able to suit many users.
Nevertheless, it is better to turn instead to a PC with a non-low-power processor and / or a suitable dedicated graphics card if we plan to often perform work demanding in processor and / or graphics resources.
In the event that 512 GB is too fair, we can obviously turn to an external storage unit. Favoring a USB-C/USB 3.0/Thunderbolt device is then an interesting option to get fast transfers.
As for the autonomy, count on about 6 hours of operation on battery in light use for this versatile Ultrabook 2-in-1 hybrid convertible into Tablet.
