Published

on

ASUS today announced that ZenBook Flip 13 OLED (UX363) is now verified on the Intel Evo Platform for an exceptional mobile experience, with exciting updates including an OLED touchscreen, 11th Generation Intel Core processors and Intel Iris Xe graphics. ZenBook Flip 13 OLED is the world’s thinnest convertible laptop to include full-size HDMI and USB Type-A ports — as well as two of the latest Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports — for uncompromised on-the-go connectivity.

Silky-smooth performance is ensured by matching the new processors and graphics with up to 16 GB RAM and up to a 1 TB PCIe 3.0 SSD. Measuring just 13.9 mm thin and weighing only 1.3 kg, the compact ZenBook Flip 13 OLED has a precision-engineered 360° ErgoLift hinge that allows versatile usage modes: laptop, tablet, tent, stand, or anything in between. It also automatically lifts and tilts the new edge-to-edge keyboard for comfortable typing and improved system cooling.

ZenBook Flip 13 OLED features up to a sleek FHD OLED NanoEdge touchscreen for vivid and vibrant visuals. It is fully compatible with the newly designed ASUS Pen that has 4096 pressure levels, ensuring enhanced precision and sensitivity for more natural-feeling stylus input. With a high-capacity 67 Wh battery that can deliver up to 14 hours of operation on a single charge, ZenBook Flip 13 OLED is perfect for today’s work-anywhere lifestyles. ZenBook Flip 13 OLED supports fast charging with the supplied 65-watt charger, and ASUS USB-C Easy Charge allows users to take advantage of a wide range of standard USB-C or USB-C Power Delivery (PD) chargers.

Silky-smooth power
Equipped with up to the latest 11th Generation Intel Core i7 processor and all-new Intel Iris Xe graphics, ZenBook Flip 13 OLED is verified as an Intel Evo laptop, a new platform that ensures premium performance and responsiveness, efficient battery usage, and stunning visuals for an exceptional mobile experience. ZenBook Flip 13 OLED also features up to 16 GB of 4266 MHz LPDDR4X RAM, combined with up to a 1 TB PCIe 3.0 SSD for quiet and ultrafast storage.

The WiFi 6 (802.11ax) in ZenBook Flip 13 OLED lets users enjoy smooth streaming of 4K UHD online videos and data transfers at faster-than-wired speeds of up to 2.4 Gbps. WiFi performance is optimized with ASUS WiFi Master Premium technology, which includes ASUS WiFi Stabilizer and ASUS WiFi SmartConnect. For rock-solid stability, WiFi Stabilizer filters out wireless interference, so users will always enjoy the fastest possible speeds. WiFi SmartConnect, a feature in the built-in MyASUS app, ensures that ZenBook Flip 13 OLED automatically selects the best WiFi source, connecting seamlessly to the best WiFi signal and known mobile hotspots.

Precision OLED touchscreen
ZenBook Flip 13 OLED is now available with up to a 13.3-inch FHD OLED NanoEdge touchscreen that has a fast 0.2 ms response time. The display offers an ultrawide color gamut of 100% DCI-P3, which is widely used in the motion picture industry, and features slim 3.9 mm bezels that maximize the screen space while reducing the laptop’s footprint.

Color accuracy is usually represented by a 2D color-gamut diagram that shows how colors are faithfully reproduced, but only at a particular brightness level. However, since the ability to reproduce colors accurately at different levels of brightness is crucial, ASUS OLED panels are calibrated to accurately reproduce colors in a 3D color volume — showing what the panel would reproduce at 100% DCI-P3 color gamut regardless of brightness level. This ensures all content is displayed accurately and as intended by its creators, not just at full brightness but at any brightness setting. This is especially important for HDR content. As a result, our OLED touchscreen color volume is up to 1.6X greater than a traditional LCD.

With the extreme contrast and accurate color reproduction at any level, everything looks crisp and vibrant – even within darker content. This helps with eye comfort, too: users can dial down the brightness, without losing contrast and color vibrancy. ZenBook Flip 13’s OLED display also manages the blue-light ratio to reduce potentially harmful emissions by up to 70%, with TÜV Rheinland certification for low blue-light emissions — promising greater care for the user’s eyes, ever after many hours of use.

Artists, photographers and designers will love the possibilities offered by the NanoEdge display when combining with the optional ASUS Pen and Windows Ink. The high-precision touchscreen is fully compatible with the new ASUS Pen’s 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity, providing an upgraded experience that makes ZenBook Flip 13 OLED the perfect choice for casual creativity, note-taking and intuitive editing in any supported app.

Flexible performance, effortless mobility
The distinctively elegant ZenBook Flip 13 OLED has an all-new design that combines ultimate portability with supreme versatility. It’s surprisingly light at just 1.3 kg, and it’s a mere 13.9 mm thin, so it’s perfect for on-the-go productivity and creativity. Even with its super-slim design, ZenBook Flip 13 OLED offers comprehensive I/O capabilities. Featuring full-size HDMI, USB Type-A and two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports, it’s the world’s thinnest OLED convertible laptop with such an impressive list of full-size ports.

ZenBook Flip 13 OLED also features the innovative ASUS NumberPad 2.0. This is a dual-function touchpad —30% larger than the previous model — that incorporates an LED-illuminated numeric keypad for easy data entry. A dedicated icon on the touchpad allows NumberPad to be easily turned on or off, and intelligent software allows it to be used for cursor control even when NumberPad is activated.

Flex with style
The innovative 360° ErgoLift hinge on ZenBook Flip 13 OLED has a precision-engineered metal multi-gear mechanism that’s cleverly designed to lift and tilt the new edge-to-edge keyboard into a comfortable typing position while improving cooling airflow when the NanoEdge display is opened beyond 135°. The edge-to-edge keyboard design also adds space for a whole new row of function keys on the right-hand side. The ErgoLift hinge holds the display securely at any angle, allowing the versatile ZenBook Flip 13 OLED to be used in laptop, tablet, stand or tent modes — or anything in between. In tablet mode, the dual-action hinge automatically rotates out of the way to allow the display to fold flat against the base.

Extreme battery life
ZenBook Flip 13 OLED uses a high-capacity battery that allows users to work or play for up to 14 hours on a single charge. Its fast-charge technology allows it to be recharged to 60% capacity in as little as 49 minutes, so users can be up and running quicker than ever. ASUS USB-C Easy Charge support allows ZenBook Flip 13 OLED to be charged from a wide range of standard USB-C chargers. User can enjoy ultrafast charging with any USB Power Delivery-certified charger, including the supplied 65-watt fast-charge adapter. Alternatively, users can charge their device on the go with airline chargers, portable chargers or power banks.

ASUS ZenBook Flip 13 OLED(UX363) will be available from 18th February 2021 in UAE from Virgin Megastore, Jumbo, Sharaf DG, Emax, Ecity, Computronic, and Amazon. Price starts at AED 5,299.

Sony Intros ECM-L1 Lavalier Microphone with 3.5mm Plug-in Power

Published

on

Sony Middle East and Africa has announced the ECM-L1, a lavalier microphone that supports 3.5 mm plug-in power, a product of Sony’s time-tested audio technology. This unit was developed based on the ECM-77 series, which has been highly regarded for many years by professionals, including broadcasting studios and production companies. ECM-L1 achieves high-quality sound pickup performance ensuring every word and nuance is captured with precision, as well as high reliability for extended use periods, all cultivated through Sony’s experience in professional audio technology.

In addition, it supports plug-in power and can be seamlessly integrated into a wide range of devices equipped with a 3.5 mm microphone input terminal making it extremely versatile. Thanks to its pin microphone design, it can be worn discretely around the speaker’s collar or shirt for a professional appearance on camera whilst still picking up sound clearly, making it ideal for interviews, documentaries, drama shoots, vlogging and live streams.

In recent years, with the increase in the number of creators producing video content, there has been a growing appetite to improve sound quality. By expanding its microphone line-up, Sony continues to support high-quality audio recording in a variety of situations. The ECM-L1 was developed based on the ECM-77 series, which has been used for many years by broadcasting stations and other organisations.

The capsule’s fixed electrode plate is made of a rigid ceramic. Its superior vibration properties deliver excellent sound quality with good rise time and high resolution. In addition, the microphone capsule is covered with a machined brass exterior to suppress unnecessary external resonance, enabling clear, crisp sound pickup. In addition, the high-purity OFC (oxygen-free copper) cable reduces audio transmission loss without compromising high sound quality.

A durable brass housing protects the microphone so that it holds up against wear and tear, even under rough usage at shooting sites. In addition, the 2.2 mm diameter cable is resistant to breakage and a locking ring is used at the connection point with the recording device to prevent the connector from accidentally coming loose. Two types of windscreens are included to reduce wind and pop noise: metal and faux fur. For a more discreet aesthetic, you can select the metal option, or depending on the shooting scenario, the additional wind noise reduction of the faux fur option is available.

The ECM-L1 lavalier microphone has plug-in power, where power is supplied from the connected device. It can be connected to a wide range of devices equipped with a 3.5 mm microphone input terminal, such as cameras, smartphones, wireless microphones, IC recorders, and computers, enabling high-quality audio recording to suit the many types of use cases. The ECM-L1 will be available in the Middle East and Africa from October 2024.
