Asus ZenBook 13 UX325JA-AH024T
The latest addition to the Asus family is the Asus ZenBook 13 UX325JA-AH024T. Asus ZenBook laptops have always been for customers who love sleek and elegant ultrabooks, and this latest 13-inch laptop also comes with the same intention. While it is undeniable that this device is a competent portable everyday laptop for multitasking, video streaming and Office apps, it should be noted that the laptop is obviously not meant for more demanding loads. In terms of its design, this ZenBook 13 definitely differs from the previous 13-inch ZenBook UX331 and UX333 models. It is no bigger than an A4 sheet and is obviously lightweight – it weighs only about 1.07 kg, which makes it a very comfortable device to travel with for everyone who is always on the go. Due to its compact nature, the ZenBook 13 easily fits into a backpack or even certain handbags without much hassle.
As far as the colour variations are concerned, this model is available in two colours, namely grey and lilac, for users to choose from based on their interest. Externally, the black metal lid of the laptop has been adorned with the signature Zen Concentric motif, with the composition being completed by a golden company logo that gives it a rather exquisite look. In terms of the body of the ultrabook, the outer part of the lid, the work surface and the bottom are mainly made out of metal. The aluminium alloy that makes up the body is quite lightweight but also highly durable. However, it is worth noting that the cover tends to easily collect fingerprints and dust, although it can be wiped off the surface quite easily. Despite the thinness and lightness of the lid, it is impossible to damage it due to its well-assembled and solid body.
As far as connectivity is concerned, the choice of ports and connectors is somewhat limited owing to the compact size. There are two Thunderbolt-3 ports with a data-transfer rate of up to 40 Gbps on the left side of the device. The ports have the ability to be able to charge the ultrabook with a bundled adapter. Apart from that, the ports also allow external monitor connection. In addition, there is a standard HDMI-2.0 port available. On the other side of the laptop, there is a single USB-3.2 Gen-1 Type-A port and a microSD-card reader. However, this ZenBook has not been equipped with a headphone jack. The ZenBook series has always had comfortable keyboards, and in this new model, the keyboard has been stretched along the entire length of the working surface, making the keys even larger and more comfortable. This definitely delivers a premium user experience. Overall, the device definitely has its own plus points to offer, but the choice of owning one is rather subjective, depending on the user’s choice and preference.

By the way, ASUS often fits great displays inside of their ZenBooks. The ZenBook 13 UX325 is not an exclusion as its display has an IPS panel (Sharp LQ133M1JW40 (SHP10CD)) with a Full HD resolution, good contrast ratio, and comfortable viewing angles. Additionally, it covers the sRGB almost fully (98%), and its backlight doesn’t use aggressive PWM for brightness adjustment. And should you need the most accurate color representation for your work, this laptop will be able to provide it. Keep in mind that our Gaming and Web design profile brings the Average dE to a value of 0.6, which makes it one of the most color-accurate displays we’ve tested yet.

The mainstream ZenBook line has set the standard for reasonably-priced ultraslim notebooks, and the latest UX325 model sets the bar higher. ASUS managed to make the 2020 iteration of the ZenBook 13 slimmer and lighter while retaining a big chunk of essential ports and stuffing in a battery that is bigger than what the competition offers.

All in all, I think that the ASUS ZenBook 13 OLED (UX325) is a pretty good laptop that’s fit for both work and play. It has a very aesthetically pleasing design, an absolute beauty of an OLED screen, solid build quality, exceptional speaker performance, fantastic battery life, bundled Microsoft Office and while it performs decently when gaming though it is clear this laptop is not made for hardcore gaming. There are some niggling issues though such as the stiff keyboard keys, inconsistent trackpad sensitivity, lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack and problems with the included Type-C to 3.5mm adapter. At the end of the day, the positives of the ASUS ZenBook 13 OLED (UX325) far outweigh the negatives and would be a very good choice for those looking for a capable work laptop that suits both home and office, especially if you appreciate a good display with vibrant, accurate colours and true, deep blacks.

The ZenBook 13 UX325EA has all the hallmarks of a good, premium laptop along with the performance to back it up. Intel’s 11th gen processors give it a much needed graphical boost, and better battery endurance will come in handy once we’re all allowed to safely go out again.

While I can't draw final conclusions on the ZenBook S UX393 based on this early sample alone, I can tell you that this is one of the most complete ultrabooks on the market right now: it's very well crafted, offers an excellent wide-gamut touchscreen, doesn't compromise much on the IO and is a competent Tiger Lake implementation, backed up by a big battery. However, I need to further clarify our findings in the typing and efficiency sections before wrapping this up. We'll get in-depth on all these aspects down below.

The Asus ZenBook 13 UX325EA straddles the line between business and premium. For $999, you get a system rocking the fetching good looks of the company’s top-tier laptops with some of the durability and security features of the ExpertBook, the company’s new business line. Plus, you get the added muscle of Intel’s new 11th Gen chips and all the features Intel’s Evo initiative brings, including over 13 hours of battery life. And you can even game in a pinch (just not at the highest settings).

The Asus ZenBook 13 UX325EA-DH51 combines power, portability, and affordable pricing, which are the top three features that all of us want in premium ultraportable laptops. Therefore, this laptop is an excellent choice for an under-$1000 notebook, which is the bottom end of the premium ultraportable category. However, Asus did need to make a few compromises to realize the optimal blend of features. That includes a slightly inferior build quality and no option for a 4K display or a touch screen, both of which are available in the more-expensive Editors’ Choice Dell XPS 13. These few drawbacks only keep us from awarding the Asus ZenBook 13 an Editors’ Choice award. Still, they’re certainly not enough to keep us from recommending this excellent laptop to people looking for the latest and greatest Intel chip in a slim, attractive notebook that won’t break the bank.

I highly suggest you buy the cheaper Core i5 version instead as this laptop isn’t made to do heavy tasks anyway, so the Core i7 doesn’t really make much sense. Also, both variants have the exact same 8GB RAM and 512GB of SSD, including the same 67Wh battery too. I just don’t think that the RM700 price gap is justifiable. Also, the RM4,299 price tag for this laptop is quite a good price. There aren’t many choices for OLED laptops now, and the ASUS ZenBook series is an obvious choice for now.

Despite being more of an increment upgrade, the premium you pay for the OLED display is worth it based on our review of the ZenBook (UX325) 13 OLED in the Philippines. Having an OLED panel addresses some of our issues with the display of the non-OLED ZenBook 13 (UX325). With higher maximum brightness and better color accuracy, the ZenBook 13 OLED makes it an even better option for content creators compared to its non-OLED sibling.

The ASUS ZenBook 13 UX325 is a great laptop for light to moderate users looking for a stylish machine that is light and has a small footprint. But it’s no lightweight in productivity, though, thanks to its decent performance, nice screen, comfortable and functional keyboard, and long battery life. If this is what you’re looking for, then put this laptop high on your list. The ASUS ZenBook 13 UX325 is priced at PHP 54,995 and is now available on ASUS Concept Stores and ASUS Official Lazada Store.

The inclusion of Intel’s Iris Xe graphics should give the VivoBook S14 S433EA more graphical power compared to the last generation, finally allowing users to play more mainstream games on a non-gaming laptop. We’ll have to see how it fares on our full review to pass a solid verdict but things are looking promising.

On the surface, there isn’t anything new with this updated version of the ZenBook 13 and that’s okay. In our opinion, Asus has always provided one of the best options if you’re looking for an ultra-slim notebook and the new hardware it’s been given just sweetens the pot even more. We still have to put it through its paces but everything looks promising so far.

There’s a reason why we named Asus as the most innovative laptop company. It’s not content with sitting back and playing it safe — instead, the company wants to offer solutions to stumbling blocks that ail the industry. The ZenBook 13 is proof of Asus’ continued commitment to solving snags and making our lives easier. The ZenBook 13 may not have been able to surpass the beastly Acer Swift 5 on our benchmarks, but it crushed the Dell XPS 13 and the HP Spectre x360 13 on the graphics and file-transfer tests. It also blew all of its rivals out of the water with its extremely colorful OLED display. The clicky keyboard is impressive, too — especially for such a compact, portable laptop. Laptops with 13-inch displays typically feel cramped, but I felt comfortable typing on the ZenBook 13.

With the arrival of OLED panels, the ultrabook world has changed forever. This small, compact, but at the same time powerful laptop will not leave you indifferent. Right now I myself really want to buy the ASUS ZenBook 13 OLED (UX325). I am so used to it that it will be very difficult for me to go back to my Huawei MateBook X Pro now. The ASUS ZenBook 13 OLED (UX325) has a stunningly elegant design, compact size, great build and a fantastic display. It’s almost perfect. Of course, it is worth mentioning the keyboard, which takes getting used to in the early days, the sometimes annoying random operation of the NumPad, and the small number of ports, but all these disadvantages are covered by one significant plus – the OLED display. You need to see it for yourself. Who should buy it? The ASUS ZenBook 13 OLED (UX325) is not your typical ultrabook. It is a powerful machine for those looking for the visual benefits of an OLED screen in a lightweight and portable design.
