About this deal

One thing we wondered, was if 1.80 kilos wouldn’t be a bit too heavy. Well, it is definitely not more comfortable than 13, or 14-inch notebooks, but the weight is quite evenly distributed, which really improves the handling. ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 Flip OLED (UP6502) is equipped with an OLED touchscreen panel, model number Samsung ATNA56AC01-0 (INTC_HE). It comes with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 10-bit per channel Color Depth. Its diagonal is 15.6″ (39.6 cm), and the resolution – 2880 x 1620p. Additionally, the screen ratio is 16:9, the pixel density – 212 ppi, and their pitch – 0.12 x 0.12 mm. The screen can be considered Retina when viewed from at least 40 cm (from this distance, the average human eye can’t see the individual pixels).

If we had to point out one glaring weakness, however, it would be the webcam. Despite it being 1080p, featuring automatic lighting correction, and coming through on an OLED screen, the camera quality is average thanks to small bezels hampering it. The image is quite clear in very bright lighting but anything lower than that and the quality tanks. So unless you have an excellent lighting setup, expect your visage to look pretty mediocre.The maximum measured brightness is 373 nits (cd/m2) in the middle of the screen (HDR off) and 372 nits (cd/m2) average across the surface with a maximum deviation of only 3%. The Correlated Color Temperature on a white screen and at maximum brightness is 6480K (average) – basically matching the 6500K optimum for sRGB (“Splendid”– Color Gamut: “Native”, “Normal” mode). To enable Performance Mode, please keep the laptop plugged in for the best performance, set the Windows power option as ASUS Recommended Mode, and select Performance Mode in the MyASUS software. What is even more intriguing in our view, is the processor and GPU combo. The laptop can be maxed out with the Core i7-12700H, which is one of the most powerful CPUs of last year. And what better way to complement the Intel processor, than a graphics card from the same manufacturer – the Intel Arc A370M? Všimnite si, že ochranné účinky antibakteriálnej ochrany ASUS Antibacterial Guard boli testované spoločnosťou ASUS 26. apríla 2021 a riadia sa metódou ISO 22196 na našich špeciálne ošetrených testovacích vzorkách. Testy poskytujú simuláciu trojročného opotrebovania a zahŕňajú vystavenie soľnej hmle, teplotným šokom a testy s alkoholom aj vlnenou plsťou. Skutočná doba účinnej antibakteriálnej ochrany sa môže líšiť v závislosti od konfigurácie a spôsobu použitia výrobku. Compared to average LCD displays in the market, measuring energy emission of blue light in between 415-455 nm wavelength.

What surprised us the most during testing was just how well and consistently it performed during our suite of benchmarks, which includes Cinebench, Geekbench, and 3DMark 10’s Timespy, Night Raid, and Fire Strike tests. The Asus Zenbook Pro 15 Flip OLED scored higher overall than most other Ultrabooks in its class - including the Microsoft Surface Laptop 5, the Acer Swift 3 OLED, and the Dell XPS 13 Plus. We are also happy with the build quality of the product, its IR face recognition scanner, and of course – the stylus work. Ultimately, the Zenbook Pro 15 Flip OLED (UP6502) has its downsides, but it was really exciting using it, and we are confident that it will satisfy its target user base. ASUS Antibacterial Guard is applied on the laptop areas that users touch most frequently, including *the palm rest area, keyboard, touchpad (or ASUS NumberPad) and power button/fingerprint sensor. Also, you can see the sRGB accuracy results (HDR off, “Splendid”– Color Gamut: “sRGB”, “Normal” mode). You can expect a high noise level when you play AAA titles, or put the device through its paces. However, most of the time, the fans remain completely silent.The crown jewel of this laptop is the OLED screen which is, according to Asus, the 'world’s first 2. 8K 120Hz OLED' laptop display. Despite it not being a gaming laptop, its refresh rate beats out some high-end monitors, which couples well with its phenomenal performance during our suite of benchmark tests. Not to mention the absolutely ridiculous 0.2ms response time, which once again is better than some gaming monitors out there. In this test we use 100% on the CPU cores, monitoring their frequencies and chip temperature. The first column shows a computer’s reaction to a short load (2-10 seconds), the second column simulates a serious task (between 15 and 30 seconds), and the third column is a good indicator of how good the laptop is for long loads such as video rendering. Unless otherwise stated, all performance claims are based on theoretical performance. Actual figures may vary in real-world situations.

Not in last place, there is the soldered memory problem. Well, it works as intended, but it can’t be upgraded. On the bright side, you can find one M.2 PCIe x4 slot for storage. Udávaná šírka bočného rámu 3,2 mm je vzdialenosť medzi okrajom neaktívnej časti displeja a vnútornou hranou puzdra. Merané na základe štandardnej (antireflexnej) konfigurácie displeja. Šírka horného rámu je 6 mm a šírka spodného rámu je 12,5 mm. Zenbooks have always utilized premium materials. The Pro 15 Flip OLED has a full-metal body, which is rigid and feels good to the touch. Design-wise, the lid, and base have a stepped edge, with the one on the base being covered in silver, the same as the hinges giving the laptop some bling. The lid has a circular brushed finish, which centers around an ASUS logo. For a 15.6-inch machine, it’s portable, with a weight of only 1.80 kg and a profile of 18.9 mm. However, for a convertible, we feel like it’s a bit too heavy to be used as a tablet.It has been created to satisfy the needs of business people, data analysts, and even graphics designers. Intuitively, every convertible laptop there is, can be linked to graphics design, or photo refinement. Let’s put the excitement of meeting this dedicated Intel GPU to the side now, and focus on what we get as a physical experience. By the way, this laptop has an identical twin, which is called the ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 Flip OLED (Q539). Battery tests conducted by ASUS on January 27, 2022 using the MobileMark ® 2018 Office Productivity scenario. Test configuration: Zenbook UP6502ZA, OLED panel, Intel ® Iris ® X e Graphics, 512GB SSD, 16 GB RAM. Test settings: WiFi enabled but disconnected (not connected to any access point), Windows Power Plan set to Balanced, display brightness set to 200 cd/m 2. Actual battery life may vary depending on product configuration, usage, operational conditions and power management settings. Battery life will decrease over the lifetime of the battery. The actual transfer speed of USB 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, and/or Type-C will vary depending on many factors including the processing speed of the host device, file attributes and other factors related to system configuration and your operating environment.

Windows 11 upgrade will be delivered to qualifying devices late 2021 into 2022. Timing will vary by device. Certain features require specific hardware (see aka.ms/windows11-spec). ¹The Windows 11 upgrade will be delivered to qualifying devices late 2021 into 2022. Timing will vary by device.

Zenbook Pro Duo 15 OLED (UX582, 12th Gen Intel)

ISO 22196:2011 specifies a method of evaluating the antibacterial activity of antibacterial-treated plastics, and other non-porous, surfaces of products (including intermediate products). Still, we’ve included other color spaces like the famous DCI-P3 standard used by movie studios, as well as the digital UHD Rec.2020 standard. Rec.2020, however, is still a thing of the future and it’s difficult for today’s displays to cover that well. We’ve also included the so-called Michael Pointer gamut, or Pointer’s gamut, which represents the colors that naturally occur around us every day. The sound quality is quite good as well. For one, this laptop is loud, yet each instrument and any singing voices present come through distinctly. For most people, this Ultrabook has great sound — period. However, there’s an odd and slight tinniness to its speakers that only becomes audible when you compare it to an even more superior sound system, like the one found in the Surface Laptop 5.
