ASUS VivoBook Flip 14 TP470 2-in-1 Laptop (2021)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
ASUS VivoBook Flip 14 TP470 is an affordable 14-inch 2-in-1 convertible laptop powered by 11th-gen Intel Tiger Lake low-powered mobile processors. Built similar to the AMD-powered TM420, the TP470 also features a metal chassis, though it comes with a few differences in specifications.
Two notable differences among such are the inclusion of a Thunderbolt 4 port (in place of USB-C 3.2 Gen2) and the use of onboard LPDDR4X memory (whereas the TM420 has both a soldered modular and a separate SO-DIMM slot).
Otherwise, the VivoBook Flip 14 TP470 is hardly distinguishable from the TM420: It has uninspiring FHD IPS touch display with 45% coverage of the NTSC color space. On the plus side, it is configurable with WiFi 6 connectivity and has a 82% screen-to-body ratio. While its size leaves no space for a numeric keypad, ASUS has given the VivoBook Flip 14 TM420 its NumberPad 2.0 version numeric keypad in the touchpad.

Reviewer score 56%The onboard audio quality in the VivoBook Flip 14 is passable. The speakers lack bass but offer decent mids and highs. The loudness is fine for personal hearing but may not be adequate for use in noisy environments. Charging the battery from zero to 100% can take up to 1.5 hours with the bundled 65 W charger.
