If you need help figuring out which configuration fits your needs the best, be sure to read through our laptop buying guide. In the case of the Asus ZenBook 13 though, you really can't go wrong. This is a great machine with a wonderful display and performance that's very nearly as good as Apple's M1 MacBooks—for $400 less.

If you mainly need your laptop for casual tasks like media consumption, light work, and even some minor gameplay, the ZenBook 13 UM325 can definitely do the job. Moreover, it has a very good performance, considering its low-power processor, and the battery life of more than almost 14 hours of Web browsing and 15 hours of video playback will definitely get you through the day.

Much like the Intel variants available so far, this AMD-based ZenBook 13 UM325 is a good portable everyday ultrabook. The competent AMD hardware and the OLED screen are its main selling-points, alongside the all-metal construction, long battery life, and fair pricing, while the cramped keyboard is still its major quirk. Just make sure you choose the AMD configuration that best suits your needs, and understand the particularities of an OLED laptop panel, so you won't end up with any unwanted surprises long-term.

I’m a PC gamer at heart, but when it comes to laptops, I’m partial to MacBooks. I find macOS to be a much better laptop OS than Windows 10, and MacBooks – especially the new M1-based ones – run rings around Intel’s and AMD’s best low-power chips. And when it comes to display and audio quality, Apple’s devices are second to none.

The ZenBook 13 from Asus is an ultra-compact 13-inch laptop with an excellent OLED display. Despite its small size, it doesn't lack performance, since with the AMD Ryzen 7 5800U, a native octa-core SoC runs the slim device. Our detailed review with numerous measurements and benchmarks examines what performance you can really expect and whether the OLED display can fulfill our expectations.

Asus’ Zenbook 13 OLED is an excellent machine offering the best value for your money, offering a gorgeous FHD OLED panel, dependable performance and impressive battery life. Yes, it doesn’t have the best-in-class speakers or webcam, but if you want a portable and dependable machine for your work with all-day battery life for around Rs 1,00,000, there’s no better option than the Zenbook 13 OLED.

Intel’s latest 11th Gen mobile platform offers better single-thread performance with some workloads, more advanced IO (PCIe Gen 4, Thunderbolt, etc.), and higher-performing Iris Xe integrated graphics with some configurations. However, in terms of the overall package, we think the vast majority of users will be more than pleased with what the Ryzen-powered ASUS ZenBook 13 OLED has to offer, especially considering Ryzen 7 5700U-based models start at only $899. Availability of the Ryzen 7 5800U-based model we showed you here is thin, but if you can find one in stock, this is a great little machine.

So if price is no object, you still need to consider: is power or battery life more important to you? Given that the ZenBook’s options can do just fine with most of the tasks that most people need, my conclusion is that only people with pretty specific workflows who don’t need to move around that much are better off with the XPS. As I noted in my review, “If you’re someone for whom the OLED is worth the price, you probably know who you are.”

While the Dell XPS 13 and Apple MacBook Air remain our Editors' Choice winners in the premium ultraportable category, the latest ZenBook 13 is worth a look for its exemplary computing performance. Its OLED screen is nice, too, although the lack of touch support holds it back somewhat. Overall, the Ryzen 7-based ZenBook 13 is best if you crave the absolute best raw CPU performance in the thinnest and lightest chassis available, and are willing to overlook quirks like a cramped keyboard and the lack of a touch screen.

There's no official local price tag yet, but if we have to guess - it could easily cost at least RM4000 or more, based on its predecessors' price range (and we were told that the 5600U processor variant will be the first batch coming soon as well). Overall, I think this is a solid laptop. But if you like to play video games from time to time, perhaps it would be better to invest in an actual gaming laptop. It will be able to do the same thing at the cost of being heavier. Just my two cents.

AMD's infiltration into the laptop market gathers pace with the Ryzen 5000 Series Mobile chips. Housing up to eight cores and 16 threads alongside integrated Radeon graphics, all wrapped inside a 15W SOC, there are numerous reasons why the laptop big boys are interested in expanding their catalogues.

It is hard to write a conclusion about the ZenBook 13 without knowing the price, but this seems to be a very well designed ultraportable laptop. We are big fans of the 13.3-inch laptop form factor and this unit seemed to be really well-rounded. The 7nm AMD Ryzen 7 5800U processor delivers outstanding performance and it has been paired with a fast PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 NVMe SSD. This means you have a very responsive system that feels snappy and has the processing power to do anything you can throw at it.

The AMD-equipped Asus Zenbook 13 OLED is an excellent value, offering an eye-catching 1080p OLED display and exceptional battery life in a slim, lightweight package for less than a thousand bucks. Sure, the speakers aren't amazing, the webcam leaves something to be desired, and there's no headphone jack, but these are stumbling blocks you can work around. If you need a zippy little ultraportable with a great screen that will last you all day long, you can't do better than the OLED-equipped Asus Zenbook 13 at this price. Alternatively, you could get the Intel-equipped model if you like the idea of having Thunderbolt 4 ports and Wi-Fi 6 (this AMD model is still Wi-Fi 5), but I can't vouch for the performance or battery life of those laptops.

At this price, you have the MacBook Air, the Microsoft Surface Pro 7, among others to choose from.

Asus: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. is a major Taiwanese computer hardware manufacturer based in Taipei, founded in 1989. Under the Asus brand name, the company manufactures a wide range of products, including laptops, desktops, motherboards, graphics cards, monitors, smartphones and networking equipment, complete systems and PC components for end users.
Under the ROG (Republic of Gamers) brand name, ASUS manufactures gaming laptops known by gamers for their powerful specifications, dedicated graphics cards, high refresh rate displays and advanced cooling systems.
Beyond gaming, a wide range of notebooks are offered for different needs and budgets, from ultra-slim and lightweight ultrabooks to versatile 2-in-1 convertibles and budget-friendly options. In 2023, Asus had a 7% global market share of the PC market.
Customer satisfaction with ASUS notebooks concerns performance, the features, and the good price-performance ratio of ASUS notebooks. However, as with any brand, there are occasional reports of problems such as overheating, driver compatibility, or build quality issues.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

AMD Lucienne (Zen 2, Ryzen 5000):
R5 5500U: A hexa-core APU designed for use in ultra-thin, upper mid-range laptops. The Ryzen features six Zen 2 CPU cores running at 2.1 GHz to 4.0 GHz alongside the Vega 7 graphics adapter (448 unified shaders running at up to 1,800 MHz). One could be forgiven for thinking Ryzen 5 5500U is a renamed Ryzen 5 4500U - which is not the case. Ryzen 5 5500U is most similar to Ryzen 5 4600U, the most noteworthy difference between the two being the faster iGPU model of the former.
