ASUS didn’t hide the fact that it is launching a number of new devices at Computex 2017 and these three new ZenBook laptops are just several of them that are making their debut at Taipei. First in the list the ZenBook Flip S which the company has claimed as the thinnest convertible in the world.

Comes complete with a fingerprint reader on its side, ASUS claimed that ZenBook Flip S has a battery life of up to 11.5 hours and its battery can be charged to 60% in just 49 minutes.
