1) Like a laptop with keyboard
2) Like a tablet (rotate screen 360 degrees)
3) For entertainment – watching movies – flip the screen such that you get a V-shape stand (check video review).
Screen quality is very good, touch is smooth + responsive and viewing angles, color reproduction are also very good.
When you are using the Asus Zenbook Flip in tablet mode the keyboard gets disabled, you don’t have to worry about accidental keyboard key press.
