Reddit reviews ASUS ZenBook Flip 14 UX461UN-DS74T Notebook (Windows 10 Home, Intel Core i7-8550U, 14" LED-Lit Screen, Storage: 512 GB, RAM: 16 GB) Slate Grey

I think Asus Zenbook Flip 14 fits your description.

Yes this ASUS UX331UN-WS51T-BL ZenBook would definitely be a great laptop to get but unfortunately its out of stock at amazon. you could also check out its latest version HERE which has an i7 cpu and more storage space. but is 14 inch and a little over three pounds.

For programing at this price range I would advise you to check one of those laptops

Reading your description also led me to the ASUS Zenbook UX331UN, I think its basically a perfect fit. It is 13.3" with an MX150 graphics card. It runs Windows 10 Home. Light gaming should be no issue with the graphics card. It is <2.6lbs which is wonderful. Battery life is decent and this laptop is light. It has an aluminum chassis.

For a bit more, there is the upgraded ASUS Zenbook UX461UN which is 3.1lbs with more RAM and storage, and stronger CPU.

Out of those options, I would go with [ASUS Zenbook] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078YN3VY9/?tag=bkadamos_alltest-20) because it comes with everything you need, 8th generation, i7 quad core CPU which is one of the best in the market and great for your usage, 16GB of ram for smooth multitasking, good SSD storage of 512GB for faster boot up and loading, 14 inch Full HD touch screen which is a must have for this price range, high build quality, backlit keyboard, GeForce MX150 GPU that should be able to handle games on low to medium settings with very good FPs, supports pen, and it’s a little over your budget.
If you don't like this option then I would recommend that you check my best gaming and college laptop to compare it with similar options.

Sounds like you need a MX150 and an i7 and at 1'200$ you'll be able to find some great systems with specs better than what I recommend:

• Asus ZenBook Flip (yes, it has a touchsceen, but it also has the specs and size requirements...)
  
• Dell Inspiron 5000
  
• Asus VivoBook S
  
• Asus VivoBook S
  
• Asus VivoBook
  
  Obviously, the GTX1050 will outperform the MX150 and the more RAM the system has - the better as you're going to be editing videos and if you need the storage, make sure the system has an HDD. All of them have an i7, so on the side of the processor you should be fine. I gave you a few options so you can pick based on price and requirements.

Im in engineering and i uses an asus flip 14. Its been great for me and has everything you will need.

2-in-1 much better specs than the HP you have, but no TB3

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071YZMV4Q/ref=emc_b_5_t?th=1
This is recommended due to dual TB3 ports. No Dedicated GPU, but better specs all around and the same price as your HP and probably twice as powerful.

Specs still better than your HP and a nice looking machine, has dedicated graphics although not that powerful it is the newest low-power ultrabook GPU from nvidia and newest gen i7 processor
Not quite the specs I would be looking for and no TB3 which is always a buzzkill for me.

If you wanna save some money, this is $750, elegant design and latest gen i5. You HP was like a 5th gen and this is an 8th. Otherwise some specs are better, some identical I think.

Zen Pro UX550VE Still my Top Choice but all these are good options considering your personal preference and needs.

Oh gosh. That's really discouraging.


I was thinking between G3 and this Asus one.

Last question. Would you still recommend getting it though?

I'm between the UX433 and this https://www.amazon.ca/ASUS-ZenBook-Flip-Ultra-Slim-UX461UN-DS74T/dp/B078YN3VY9/ref=sr_1_7?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1543176642&sr=1-7&keywords=asus+zenbook

Thoughts? I'm gonna buy one right after your response lol

League is not an intensive game so a laptop like the ASUS ZenBook Flip Ultra-Slim should serve you well. It has a clean and professional look so presentations will not be an issue. The MX150 is not the most powerful graphics card but with your screen size and budget this is your best option

• 14” FHD wideview display,
  
• Intel Core i7-8550U,
  
• 16GB RAM, 512GB NVMe PCIe SSD, Nvidia MX150

Best out there as of 11/16. Same price on Bestbuy. If it does go lower towards BF/CM, I will ask Bestbuy to price match it.

As other reddit users suggest lenovo yoga 720 sounds better for you.Also check out asus new zenbook flip 14
