    I stumbled across a page on asus.com for what appears to be a new 15" Zenbook Flip. I wasn't aware of any new announcements aside from the Flip S at Computex. The only references I've been able to find on-line were an addition to the Zenbook wiki page on June 3rd, and a reddit post to /r/laptops inquiring about it that never got any traction. Has anyone heard anything about this device?

    Can't wait to see pricing on the UX561UD... TB3 with UHD in a small form factor, GTX 1050, up to a 512 GB SSD + 2TB HDD, and all in a light-ish portable form factor with supposedly good battery life is exciting!

    If it's true UHD. We don't yet know if ASUS will continue their considered poor habit and deceptive marketing practice of using PenTile RG/BW not-true-3840x2160 panels, in this model.

    Very nice specs for a 2-1, all I hope for is a decent price and for it to not throttle under load.
