The new Asus VivoBook 14X OLED K3405 brings several notable improvements to the table including the Intel Core i5-13500H and a 2.8K OLED display. The VivoBook 14X OLED aspires to be sought after as a capable multimedia laptop and manages to achieve this for the most part. However, some of Asus's choices, such as using the now-ageing 35 W Nvidia RTX 3050, raise an eyebrow.

Parting thoughts, of which I have a few, mostly revolve around the portability of the laptop and its rather good display. Both these factors, along with the relatively good processing capabilities, would be important for the target consumers. I feel that the device is not just for working professionals, but also for users dabbling in creative work. My only gripe with the device is its less-than-acceptable audio setup and trackpad. However, these issues are remedied with access to suitable peripherals. The Vivobook 14X OLED is a device with good potential and gets my nod as an acceptable mid-range offering.

14.00:
14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact.
In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.
