With each new laptop, Asus’s fleet is getting diverse and full of options for users. Yet, at the same time, it might be confusing for the same user to narrow down on one option. The latest one to sit on my lap is the Asus Zenbook Flip 14 (UM462DA). This new incarnation embodies AMD Ryzen 7 processor inside. Aaaand it’s a convertible too.
So, a hybrid reiteration with Ryzen 7 power huh!? Yup. But, as they say, a laptop is more than the sum of its parts, Right? Well, let’s find out.
Asus Zenbook Flip 14 (UM462DA) Price in India and Specs
Model Asus Zenbook Flip 14 (UM462DA) Display 14” LED-backlit Full HD (1920 x 1080) 16:9 slim-bezel NanoEdge display 4.3mm-thin1 bezel with 90% screen-to-body ratio Wide 100% sRGB color gamut 178° wide-view technology Processor AMD Ryzen R7-3700U Graphics Integrated AMD Radeon RX Vega 8 Graphics Storage 512GB PCIe 3×2 SSD Memory 8GB 2400MHz DDR4 onboard Ports
1 x USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C (USB-C)
1 x USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A
1 x USB 2.0 Type-A
1 x Standard HDMI
1 x MicroSD card reader
1 x Audio combo jack
1 x DC-jack
802.11 ac
Bluetooth 4.2
Software Windows 10 Home (64bit) Battery
Up to 9 hours of battery life from 42Wh 3-cell prismatic cell battery
45W power adapter
Dimensions 322.0 x 210.00 x 18.9mm; 1.6kg Audio
Harman Kardon-certified audio system
ASUS SonicMaster stereo audio system with surround-sound; smart amplifier for maximum audio performance
Array microphone with Cortana voice-recognition support
3.5mm headphone jack
Keyboard and Trackpad
Full-size backlit, with 1.4mm key travel
Mylar-covered; intelligent palm-rejection Precision Touchpad (PTP) technology supports up to four-finger smart gestures
Weight 1.39Kg Biometric unlock Face unlock Webcam HD camera India Price ₹64,990
Asus Zenbook Flip 14 Design & Build
An ultrabook…you know what that means – Bend it, flip it, or fold it. The Zenbook Flip 14’s hinge lets you flex the lappy around a full 360 degrees with – 2 hands (boo!). This opens up four formats: Laptop, Stand, Tent, or Tablet. Flip 14 is also incredibly lite weighing at just 1.3 kgs. Still, shedding some more heft could make it a handier tablet to carry around.
It’s a metal stout and there’s no question on Asus’ engineering. However, I wish the designing department had put more thought into the looks. I felt even the ‘Zen-inspired’ spun-metal finish could’ve added some texture to the boring light grey. Hey, for what it’s worth, it ain’t a fingerprint magnet anymore. So, there’s that.
Asus Zenbook Flip 14 Display & Keyboard
The real beneficiary of a hybrid build is – display. You get to take it for a spin and use it in varied ways. Here you have a 14-inch touchscreen FHD panel, which claims to cover 100% sRGB color spectrum and 178° wide angle of view. The visuals were pleasing and the screen is no slouch in registering our swipes and taps. My only gripe is with its glossy screen, which is a glaring issue under scorch lights.
Dear Asus, on a side note, kindly bundle the stylus next time. The review would be incomplete without the full package. And speaking of the stylus, do consider a storage room for the same from next time.
Atop the display sits a front-facing HD camera for video calls. You can make do with skyping but it ain’t gonna lure you into video-chat more. This enables face unlocking, which hits mostly, but misses when you have some accessory on your head or face. Ladies, No scarf!
Coming downwards, the 1.4mm key travel is ideal to type on. That said, I felt the arrow keys were lil cramped and could have got a larger capsize. Even the backlit could’ve been brighter. On the bottom side, the Mylar-covered trackpad is smooth to touch and responsive to taps. Smart gesture support with up to four frickin’ fingers also works well.
Asus Zenbook Flip 14 Performance & Battery
When it comes to performance, the Zenbook Flip 14 doesn’t struggle at tasks such as opening emails, browsing the web, watching Netflix, and writing documents on Microsoft Word. All thanks to an AMD Ryzen 7-3700U processor inside. This is based on a 12nm architecture running at a base frequency of 2.3 GHz with a TDP of 15 W and a Boost frequency of 4.0 GHz. This is backed by AMD’s multithreading sorcery, Integrated AMD Radeon RX Vega 8 Graphics and 8GB 2400MHz DDR4 RAM.

  This slideshow requires JavaScript.
The Asus Zenbook Flip 14 isn’t a gaming laptop, so don’t bother with heavy titles. The performance will be bottlenecked by the lack of a dedicated graphics card. You can still play casual games available in the Windows Store. For instance, Asphalt 9 drove fine on it.
But, even if you are in a mood for gaming, the battery is very likely to spoil your mood. C’mon an ultrabook must have better mileage. Else, it ain’t a legit pitch for a portable device. Asus vaunts the machine will run up to 9 hours in-between recharges. However, I noticed an average of 4 hours on incessant office work. Even the battery test shoots a half past3 battery life only. Anyway, when it asks for the charge, replenish with the bundled 45W power adapter.
Asus Zenbook Flip 14 Connectivity & Audio
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
The left side of the Flip 14 houses the charging port, followed by an HDMI port, USB 3.1 Type-A, and a USB 3.1 Type-C socket. On the right side, you’ll find the power toggle, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a USB 2.0 port, and a bin for the microSD card reader. Missing are the volume buttons, which would have been useful when using this Zenbook in Tablet, Tent, or Stand postures.
Speakers on the bottom chin
The Flip 14 sports speaker duo on the bottom of the casing which is frankly not ideal. Especially if they easily get muffled when using in our lap. As for loudness, I had to resort to VLC’s inbuilt amplifiers. You can get better sound when watching movies in tent mode, though. So sadly, the Harmon Kardon certified sound did no good to my ears, whatsoever.
Asus Zenbook Flip 14 Review: Verdict
True to its name, Zenbook flips and flexes fine. Granted, it feels too big to hold as a tablet but should serve you well for the most part. The Asus Zenbook Flip 14 is thin, light, reasonably tough, and powerful for everyday tasks with its Ryzen 7 – 3700U processor. Asus also gets brownie points for an ergonomic keyboard and touchpad combo. But, it ain’t without its flaws. Middling battery life on an ultrabook defeats the purpose. Audio quality doesn’t meet the expectation. Aesthetically, it’s a plain jane. So, for the asking price of Rs. 64,990, Asus Zenbook Flip 14 (UM462) has a lot to look forward to but kind of misses the mark.
ALSO READ: Asus Zenbook 14 UM431 Review
Maybe, if Asus irons out these issues in its next installment, it’ll be an easier recommendation. In closing, if you’re hard-pressed on buying a hybrid, then here are few options worth looking for – Lenovo Yoga 530 (Intel i7-8550U) and Lenovo Ideapad C340 (AMD Ryzen 5-3500U).
Asus Zenbook Flip 14 (UM462DA) Review With each new laptop, Asus's fleet is getting diverse and full of options for users. Yet, at the same time, it might be confusing for the same user to narrow down on one option.

First Drive: 2019 BMW X5 40i xDrive
CHATTAHOOCHEE HILLS, Georgia — I hate to admit this because I’m not the biggest fan of made-up names for cars that already exist, but BMW’s claim to coining the Sports Activity Vehicle, or SAV, name might be truly applicable to the fourth-generation X5. During our day of testing the latest high-riding Bimmer, I was left impressed with the vehicle’s breadth of capability both on and off-road.
However, as much as I was impressed, I was also shocked about how specific one must option an X5 to get exactly the vehicle we assessed. Take my overwhelmingly positive review with a grain of salt—as each modicum of praise is tempered with the acknowledgement of extras that may alter one’s experience in that area.
The new generation of X5 looks muscular and modern, further beefed up with a 21-inch wheel, although choosing these will incur a $1,550 ding to the bill. Our xDrive40i spec tester wore Phytonic Blue Metallic paint, which can be had for $550. The color contrasted beautifully with the Satin Aluminum trim and roof rails, and the result is a ute that looks both upscale and rugged.
Our tester was equipped with the base engine, a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six cylinder which churns out 335 hp and 330 lb-ft. It’s mated to an updated version of the ZF 8HP eight-speed transmission found in other cars across BMW’s lineup, which it calls a Steptronic and says provides sportier shifts. Fortunately, the upgraded M Sport brakes, for which BMW asks $650, bring the mass to a stop expertly.
The powertrain, which drives all four wheels via the xDrive system, feels characteristic of the ideal BMW. Under acceleration, the engine feels buttery smooth and moves the 4,813-lb SUV with ease. Push the gas pedal to the floor and the X5 thrills as it surges forward. The exhaust note emits a delicious snarl and snorts as the transmission works its way through the gears.
Even at full chat, the two-axel air suspension keeps everything tidy. Even though this comes as part of the Off-road Package, a $3,950 extra, which also adds the M Sport Differential as well as off-roading capabilities that I’ll address shortly. Between the differential, the suspension, and the optioned Integral Active Steering, added for $1,150, the X5 navigates windy roads with aplomb. It handles like a much smaller vehicle, feeling nimble despite its size.
Once we arrived at a ranch in the Chattahoochee Hills, it was time to take the X5 where few have gone before: truly off-road. The Off-Road Package is the first BMW has ever offered, so this generation of X5 is the first that has been able to tackle serious terrain with weapons grade equipment. There were still signs marked with Land Rover logos scattered through the course, so it appeared BMW has some confidence in its latest creation’s abilities.
We made extensive use of the hill descent feature, which holds the vehicle at a controlled speed when going down a steep grade. The X5 maintained its traction admirably. The rear steering was a boon in the tight corners of the forest path. It was as though the big SUV wrapped around trees, and only at one juncture did anyone from our caravan need to use the reverse gear to make it through a bend.
The air suspension also played a role in making this off-roading experience memorable. The X5’s suspension has 80mm of travel overall, and can be raised or lowered 40mm from its normal ride height. When the rough terrain drive mode is selected, the X5 lifts up to boost ground clearance. Having sampled the latest Jeep Wrangler in Moab earlier this year, I was impressed with the chassis control and off-road comfort. My tester seemed to waft over the rough stuff as I enjoyed the air condition and ventilated seats.
BMW also moved its interior design forward with this model. Our tester had standard porous brown popular wood trim, which imbued classic luxuriousness to the cabin.
I spoke with Eva-Maria Günther, interior designer for the X5 as she walked me through the layout of the vehicle that will dictate the design language of upcoming BMW cars. The Hofmeister Kink, or the “C” shape that you’ve likely noted on the C-pillar of BMW cars, has permeated the interior, and Günther says this is intentional.
“It is more dynamic when you leave [the line] open … like in the air vent,” she said. “It gives it a typical BMW feeling.”
Some of the knobs and switchgear were made from glass in our tester and could be optioned for $650. Günther said these can be viewed as “jewels” or points of pride in the vehicle. I saw them as a one-upping of Volvo’s crystal shifter, especially the crystalline iDrive knob. Our xDrive40i models were further luxed up with the leather dashboard option for $1,200.
Günther also stressed the reconsolidation of controls in the X5’s interior. Buttons and switches are relegated to what she calls “islands,” and says they’re meant to organize the driver’s focus when operating the vehicle. Speaking with me inside a pre-production model, she spoke to this layout philosophy.
“We have here that the climate control island, the air vent is now connected with this climate control and then in the middle console all the driving relevant functions are bundled in one area,” Günther said gesturing to the relavant parts of the dash. “This overall helps to have a clean and tidy appearance.”
I’ve spent as much seat time in our Four Seaons BMW M550i xDrive, and the new BMW interior design language is laid out with equivalent or better intuitiveness. As I hopped in the driver’s seat for the first time, I had no problems situating myself and finding the features or menu items on the infotainment screen I wanted. Critics of late model BMWs of the previous generation lamented the dated design, but Günther’s work should offer something that’s both modern and familiar.
It didn’t hurt, literally, that our testers had the Luxury Seating Package, which can be added to an X5 for $1,600. It adds the multi-contour chairs for every passenger, as well as massaging front-ventilated seats, a godsend on a humid Georgia day. Along with the standard Vernasca leather, I remained happily cosseted despite the oppressive exterior conditions. The vertical thrones are made even more luxurious with the inclusion of heated seats for every passenger for $350 and a heated steering wheel and front-seat armrests for $250.
The X5 is chock-full of luxury and tech as standard, but our testers had plenty of extras added on top as well. For $1,150, the Convenience Package grants keyless entry, four-zone climate control, and a full year of Sirius XM Radio.
The Premium Package, which was the least applicable during our day trip with the car, costs $2,050. It adds true luxuries, in the sense that these options are advanced, but not essential for day-to-day transportation. Improved parking assistant, a head-up display, wireless charging, a WiFi hotspot, “enhanced” USB and Bluetooth connections, a rear-view camera, and 360-degree camera visibility are all part of this selection.
Even deeper into the world of luxury lies the Executive Package, which adds an additional $2,050 past the base price. This adds remote engine start, soft-close doors, manual shades for the rear side windows, and Tron-like laser-enhanced LED headlights. This package may seem “extra” in the sense that its options are dramatic and over-the-top, but they endow the X5 with a user experience that truly feels special, as though there’s a spectral butler taking care of needs one doesn’t even know they’ve had.
This is also the first BMW to feature iDrive 7.0, the latest variant of the Roundel’s infotainment operating system. It offers increased customization and complimentary access to Apple CarPlay (shout out to my fellow Android users—BMW says the take rate on iPhone is so high they haven’t really considered adding Google’s mobile OS to their cars). The baked-in navigation, in which BMW planned our routes, offered some confusing directions. Fortunately, Google Maps is now available on CarPlay so not all is lost, literally speaking.
We cranked some tunes through the optional Harman Kardon sound system, which would incur another $875 to prospective buyers, but quality is clean and crisp. This one’s certainly worth snatching up.
BMW didn’t forget to ladle in the safety tech in their best-seller—there’s plenty of driving nannys to keep one’s investment between the lines and out of the bumpers of adjacent traffic. To add another layer of security, the $1,700 Driving Assistance Package can be had to beef up the car’s defenses. I had some initial issues with overly sensitive collision and lane-keeping assists, but a single defeat button eliminated all of the handicaps in seconds.
It may seem shallow to harp on BMW’s options, but our vehicle rung at $81,230 after the $995 destination charge, which is over $20,000 higher than the base price. I enjoyed my time in the X5 immensely and the dynamics, build quality, and features impressed me deeply, yet I was left wondering what a base car that stickers for $60,700 would be like to drive.
The tester of the BMW X5 xDrive40i may have quelled my skepticism of the brand’s chosen SAV moniker, but the 33% increase in price over the base model is astounding. Yes, one would receive a car with the same name, but would they have a comparably impressive driving experience? We’ll have to solicit BMW for an entirely optionless model to find out.
The 2019 BMW X5 will go on sale in November 2018.

First Drive: 2019 BMW X5 40i xDrive
CHATTAHOOCHEE HILLS, Georgia — I hate to admit this because I’m not the biggest fan of made-up names for cars that already exist, but BMW’s claim to coining the Sports Activity Vehicle, or SAV, name might be truly applicable to the fourth-generation X5. During our day of testing the latest high-riding Bimmer, I was left impressed with the vehicle’s breadth of capability both on and off-road.
However, as much as I was impressed, I was also shocked about how specific one must option an X5 to get exactly the vehicle we assessed. Take my overwhelmingly positive review with a grain of salt—as each modicum of praise is tempered with the acknowledgement of extras that may alter one’s experience in that area.
The new generation of X5 looks muscular and modern, further beefed up with a 21-inch wheel, although choosing these will incur a $1,550 ding to the bill. Our xDrive40i spec tester wore Phytonic Blue Metallic paint, which can be had for $550. The color contrasted beautifully with the Satin Aluminum trim and roof rails, and the result is a ute that looks both upscale and rugged.
Our tester was equipped with the base engine, a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six cylinder which churns out 335 hp and 330 lb-ft. It’s mated to an updated version of the ZF 8HP eight-speed transmission found in other cars across BMW’s lineup, which it calls a Steptronic and says provides sportier shifts. Fortunately, the upgraded M Sport brakes, for which BMW asks $650, bring the mass to a stop expertly.
The powertrain, which drives all four wheels via the xDrive system, feels characteristic of the ideal BMW. Under acceleration, the engine feels buttery smooth and moves the 4,813-lb SUV with ease. Push the gas pedal to the floor and the X5 thrills as it surges forward. The exhaust note emits a delicious snarl and snorts as the transmission works its way through the gears.
Even at full chat, the two-axel air suspension keeps everything tidy. Even though this comes as part of the Off-road Package, a $3,950 extra, which also adds the M Sport Differential as well as off-roading capabilities that I’ll address shortly. Between the differential, the suspension, and the optioned Integral Active Steering, added for $1,150, the X5 navigates windy roads with aplomb. It handles like a much smaller vehicle, feeling nimble despite its size.
Once we arrived at a ranch in the Chattahoochee Hills, it was time to take the X5 where few have gone before: truly off-road. The Off-Road Package is the first BMW has ever offered, so this generation of X5 is the first that has been able to tackle serious terrain with weapons grade equipment. There were still signs marked with Land Rover logos scattered through the course, so it appeared BMW has some confidence in its latest creation’s abilities.
We made extensive use of the hill descent feature, which holds the vehicle at a controlled speed when going down a steep grade. The X5 maintained its traction admirably. The rear steering was a boon in the tight corners of the forest path. It was as though the big SUV wrapped around trees, and only at one juncture did anyone from our caravan need to use the reverse gear to make it through a bend.
The air suspension also played a role in making this off-roading experience memorable. The X5’s suspension has 80mm of travel overall, and can be raised or lowered 40mm from its normal ride height. When the rough terrain drive mode is selected, the X5 lifts up to boost ground clearance. Having sampled the latest Jeep Wrangler in Moab earlier this year, I was impressed with the chassis control and off-road comfort. My tester seemed to waft over the rough stuff as I enjoyed the air condition and ventilated seats.
BMW also moved its interior design forward with this model. Our tester had standard porous brown popular wood trim, which imbued classic luxuriousness to the cabin.
I spoke with Eva-Maria Günther, interior designer for the X5 as she walked me through the layout of the vehicle that will dictate the design language of upcoming BMW cars. The Hofmeister Kink, or the “C” shape that you’ve likely noted on the C-pillar of BMW cars, has permeated the interior, and Günther says this is intentional.
“It is more dynamic when you leave [the line] open … like in the air vent,” she said. “It gives it a typical BMW feeling.”
Some of the knobs and switchgear were made from glass in our tester and could be optioned for $650. Günther said these can be viewed as “jewels” or points of pride in the vehicle. I saw them as a one-upping of Volvo’s crystal shifter, especially the crystalline iDrive knob. Our xDrive40i models were further luxed up with the leather dashboard option for $1,200.
Günther also stressed the reconsolidation of controls in the X5’s interior. Buttons and switches are relegated to what she calls “islands,” and says they’re meant to organize the driver’s focus when operating the vehicle. Speaking with me inside a pre-production model, she spoke to this layout philosophy.
“We have here that the climate control island, the air vent is now connected with this climate control and then in the middle console all the driving relevant functions are bundled in one area,” Günther said gesturing to the relavant parts of the dash. “This overall helps to have a clean and tidy appearance.”
I’ve spent as much seat time in our Four Seaons BMW M550i xDrive, and the new BMW interior design language is laid out with equivalent or better intuitiveness. As I hopped in the driver’s seat for the first time, I had no problems situating myself and finding the features or menu items on the infotainment screen I wanted. Critics of late model BMWs of the previous generation lamented the dated design, but Günther’s work should offer something that’s both modern and familiar.
It didn’t hurt, literally, that our testers had the Luxury Seating Package, which can be added to an X5 for $1,600. It adds the multi-contour chairs for every passenger, as well as massaging front-ventilated seats, a godsend on a humid Georgia day. Along with the standard Vernasca leather, I remained happily cosseted despite the oppressive exterior conditions. The vertical thrones are made even more luxurious with the inclusion of heated seats for every passenger for $350 and a heated steering wheel and front-seat armrests for $250.
The X5 is chock-full of luxury and tech as standard, but our testers had plenty of extras added on top as well. For $1,150, the Convenience Package grants keyless entry, four-zone climate control, and a full year of Sirius XM Radio.
The Premium Package, which was the least applicable during our day trip with the car, costs $2,050. It adds true luxuries, in the sense that these options are advanced, but not essential for day-to-day transportation. Improved parking assistant, a head-up display, wireless charging, a WiFi hotspot, “enhanced” USB and Bluetooth connections, a rear-view camera, and 360-degree camera visibility are all part of this selection.
Even deeper into the world of luxury lies the Executive Package, which adds an additional $2,050 past the base price. This adds remote engine start, soft-close doors, manual shades for the rear side windows, and Tron-like laser-enhanced LED headlights. This package may seem “extra” in the sense that its options are dramatic and over-the-top, but they endow the X5 with a user experience that truly feels special, as though there’s a spectral butler taking care of needs one doesn’t even know they’ve had.
This is also the first BMW to feature iDrive 7.0, the latest variant of the Roundel’s infotainment operating system. It offers increased customization and complimentary access to Apple CarPlay (shout out to my fellow Android users—BMW says the take rate on iPhone is so high they haven’t really considered adding Google’s mobile OS to their cars). The baked-in navigation, in which BMW planned our routes, offered some confusing directions. Fortunately, Google Maps is now available on CarPlay so not all is lost, literally speaking.
We cranked some tunes through the optional Harman Kardon sound system, which would incur another $875 to prospective buyers, but quality is clean and crisp. This one’s certainly worth snatching up.
BMW didn’t forget to ladle in the safety tech in their best-seller—there’s plenty of driving nannys to keep one’s investment between the lines and out of the bumpers of adjacent traffic. To add another layer of security, the $1,700 Driving Assistance Package can be had to beef up the car’s defenses. I had some initial issues with overly sensitive collision and lane-keeping assists, but a single defeat button eliminated all of the handicaps in seconds.
It may seem shallow to harp on BMW’s options, but our vehicle rung at $81,230 after the $995 destination charge, which is over $20,000 higher than the base price. I enjoyed my time in the X5 immensely and the dynamics, build quality, and features impressed me deeply, yet I was left wondering what a base car that stickers for $60,700 would be like to drive.
The tester of the BMW X5 xDrive40i may have quelled my skepticism of the brand’s chosen SAV moniker, but the 33% increase in price over the base model is astounding. Yes, one would receive a car with the same name, but would they have a comparably impressive driving experience? We’ll have to solicit BMW for an entirely optionless model to find out.
The 2019 BMW X5 will go on sale in November 2018.
