ASUS Vivobook S 16 Flip TP3604 (2023)

The ASUS Vivobook S 16 Flip TP3604 (2023) and the Dell Inspiron 16 2-in-1 (2023) are both Windows convertible laptops that provide a similar user experience. The Dell has a sturdier build and longer battery life; however, the ASUS is available with more powerful H-series CPUs and a nicer 3.2k OLED display.
