A bunch of Asus’ latest laptops featuring Intel’s 11th Gen processors are now available for purchase.

The one I’m most excited about is the ZenBook Flip S, which Asus says is the world’s thinnest OLED convertible laptop and the first Asus laptop to be verified by Intel’s Evo platform. The Flip S has a gorgeous OLED screen as well as excellent speakers and a light, convertible build. It’s a good choice if you’re looking for a great streaming or multimedia experience.

Another solid buy here is the ZenBook 14 UX425EA. This one doesn’t have a touchscreen like the Flip S, but it has shown better performance and better battery life. (There’s a 1W screen option with increased power efficiency.) Both of these models have a cool feature called NumberPad 2.0, which can make an LED NumPad appear on the touchpad.

Also in the lineup are the ZenBook S UX393 (the world’s lightest and thinnest 3:2 3K laptop, per Asus), the ZenBook 14 UX435 (which includes a second screen with Asus’ ScreenPad technology), and a whole slew of new Vivobooks. And there’s the ZenBook Pro 15 UX535, an OLED creator-focused ZenBook that still has 10th Gen processors.

You can buy most of these models at B&H as well as the Asus eShop. Some are also available through Newegg, Amazon, or Sam’s Club.

Apple will replace AirPods Pro for free with faulty noise cancellation, static or crackling

Today, exactly one year after Apple first launched the AirPods Pro — and thus the same day the very first AirPods Pro owners will see their one-year warranties expire — Apple has launched a repair program that offers free repairs or replacements for another whole year if your AirPods Pro experience issues with noise cancellation or static.

Specifically, Apple will fix:

Crackling or static sounds that increase in loud environments, with exercise or while talking on the phone

Active Noise Cancellation not working as expected, such as a loss of bass sound, or an increase in background sounds, such as street or airplane noise

Apple says only a “small percentage of AirPods Pro” are affected by the issues, but it apparently wasn’t just an early batch — Apple says affected units were manufactured “before October 2020,” meaning every AirPods Pro ever made might be eligible. That’s quite a recall if so. Apple says it will repair faulty AirPods Pro for two years after you first buy them.

We’ve heard complaints about degraded noise cancellation before, and at least one Verge editor has replaced their AirPods Pro under warranty. It’s nice to hear that Apple isn’t just cutting buyers off as soon as that warranty expires.
