CES 2021 | Asus ZenBook 13 OLED and ZenBook 14 are among the thinnest laptops with AMD Ryzen 5000 Cezanne and Lucienne U-series APUs

Asus has announced two new thin and light laptops powered by AMD Ryzen 5000 U-series APUs — the ZenBook 13 OLED UM325 and the ZenBook 14 UM425. These laptops feature largely similar specifications with the primary differences being with respect to the displays and available CPU options.

The ZenBook 13 OLED UM325 features a 13.3-inch OLED FHD NanoEdge display that covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut and is VESA DisplayHDR True Black certified. The ZenBook 13 OLED offers several Ryzen 5000U APU options starting from the Ryzen 5 5500U all the way up to the Ryzen 7 5800U. This means buyers will have to specifically look out for Cezanne Zen 3 parts if desired. Up to 16 GB RAM and up to 1 TB NVMe storage can be configured.

The ZenBook 14 UM425, on the other hand, sports a regular 14-inch IPS-level FHD display and comes with just the Ryzen 7 5700U and Ryzen 5 5500U APU choices, which means there are only Lucienne APUs on offer here. Rest of the specifications are largely similar to that of the ZenBook 13 OLED including the presence of a touch NumberPad 2.0 integrated into the touchpad.

Asus also said that the new ZenBooks have passed MIL-STD 810H testing for long-lasting durability. Both the ZenBooks feature Asus AI noise cancellation for clear communication and also sport a 4-cell 67 WHr battery.

The Asus ZenBook 13 OLED UM325 and the ZenBook 14 UM425 are expected to be available in North America from February. Pricing information will be revealed later.
