Nearly a month after introducing its last convertible, the Chrome OS-based Flip, ASUS has announced the availability of the new ZenBook Flip UX360CA that combines Intel Core M power with a thin and light design. The attractive, aluminum-intensive convertible weighs just under 2.9 pounds and is only 13.9mm thick.

Like many convertibles on the market, the ZenBook Flip UX360CA employs a 360-degree hinge, but this one is also coupled with a multi-gear metal mechanism to provide a buttery smooth opening/closing action. The centerpiece of the convertible is its 13.3-inch Full HD touchscreen IPS display (72% NTSC and full sRGB color gamut) that has wide 173-degree viewing angles.

Powering the machine is an Intel Core m3-6Y30 processor paired with integrated Intel HD Graphics 515. 8GB of LPDDR3 memory comes standard and buyers can select from 256GB or 512GB SSD options. Rounding out the ZenBook Flip UX360CA’s feature set are two USB 3.0 ports, a single USB 3.1 Type-C port, microHDMI, SDXC card reader, ASUS SonicMaster audio technology, Bluetooth 4.1 and 802.11ac Wi-Fi (dual antennas, 867Mbps). And as you might expect, the convertible is of course running Windows 10.

Given its power-sipping processor and fanless design, the ZenBook Flip UX360CA is not only silent, but it can also last up to 12 hours on a charge with its lithium-polymer battery.

The ASUS ZenBook Flip UX360CA is available now, priced at $699 and $799 respectively for the 256GB and 512GB storage configurations. The convertible will be available in both Mineral Grey and Icicle Gold finishes.
