Many people, especially those from the older generation, view laptops as high-tech machines that are used for a wide range of serious tasks, from work and education to creative projects. However, that perception is changing; a new generation of laptops is emerging with innovations in design, performance, and usability. People use flip laptops (also called 2-in-1 or convertible laptops) in various ways, leveraging their flexibility to switch between laptop and tablet modes.
Vivo’s Vivobook 14 Flip is a convertible laptop that offers an interesting set of features and specifications. It is expensive (prices start from Rs 96,990 onwards) but good things always command a premium. You can use it as a laptop or tablet for a wide variety of tasks, including work, education, entertainment and personal use. Its 360 degrees hinge allows versatility between laptop, tablet, tent, and stand modes, which make it perfect for creative workflows.
The Vivobook 14 Flip is lightweight and portable. Weighing 1.5 kg and just 1.69 cm slim, it features a sturdy aluminium body in Matte Gray. The 14-inch Lumina OLED touchscreen delivers bright colours, deep blacks and sharp details for a fine viewing experience. Browsing the internet, creating documents, playing games or streaming videos, this laptop will leave a big impact.
The Vivobook 14 Flip is a good multitasker and this became evident during the early days of its evaluation. I was particularly impressed with its graphics performance, handling tasks like rendering visuals and displaying them on the screen with relative ease. Also, the Intel Core Ultra 7 (Series 2) processor with advanced AI capabilities ensures its smooth running. The laptop has 16GB LPDDR5X RAM (8533 MHz) and 512GB PCIe Gen 4 SSD (expandable upto 1TB). This combination ensures smooth and easy multitasking and faster data access. Wi-Fi 7 provides high-speed connectivity with lower delays, ensuring a seamless online experience as well.
The laptop has Windows Copilot, an AI-powered assistant that helps with tasks like file searching and system control. Windows Studio Effects v2 improves video calls with features like Eye Contact Enhanced and Portrait Light. The Asus StoryCube app organises photos and videos using AI, while the Asus Pen 2.0 (stylus) supports precise writing and drawing with different tip options. The Dolby Atmos 360 degree adaptive audio system enhances sound quality for movies, music, and calls. The ErgoSense keyboard and touchpad provide a smooth typing and navigation experience.
With a 70Wh battery, the Vivobook 14 Flip offers up to 28 hours of usage. It also supports USB-C Easy Charge, allowing charging with standard USB-C chargers, power banks, and airline adapters. It comes with multiple ports, including Thunderbolt 4, USB-C, HDMI 2.1, and a microSD reader, ensuring flexible connectivity. The laptop is military-grade durable and features Asus OLED Care, which helps prevent screen burn-in.
Deciding on the ideal laptop to buy is a task, but the Asus Vivobook 14 Flip can make the decision easy with its nice blend of performance, battery life, build quality and portability. It is good at multitasking, allowing users to work on different tasks at the same time, such as browsing the web while also editing a document or listening to music. It all depends whether you can afford it.
