ASUS has conjured up yet another versatile notebook – now the Transformer Book Flip – an affordable Windows 8.1 touchscreen notebook with a unique hinge design that allows for the screen to flip from zero to 360 degrees. Whether you want a notebook or a tablet, you can enjoy almost every possibility.

The ASUS Transformer Book Flip is a direct replacement for last year’s award-winning VivoBook series. The new Flip keeps the best aspects of VivoBook but also adds new features, in line with ASUS’ highly-regarded “Design Thinking” philosophy.
