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.

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.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
