Asus ZenBook 13 UX325JA in Review: 1100-gram Subnotebook with Excellent Battery Life

Compact long-distance runner. The slim ZenBook 13's wide range of features is convincing: There is an Ice Lake CPU, 16 GB of RAM (in dual-channel mode), an NVMe SSD, and Thunderbolt 3. Furthermore, the battery life is excellent thanks to the integrated 67-Wh battery.

The Asus ZenBook 13 UX325JA is a compact, lightweight, 13.3-inch subnotebook. It is powered by a quad-core Core i7-1065G7 from Intel's Ice Lake generation. Its competition consists of devices such as the Samsung Galaxy Book Ion 13.3, Samsung Galaxy Book S, Acer Swift 3 SF313-52, Apple MacBook Air 2020, Huawei MateBook 13, and the HP Envy x360 13. The last of these devices is a 2-in-1 laptop. We have included it in this comparison due to the generally low availability of Ryzen-4000-based 13.3-inch subnotebooks.

Case - UX325 with a Metal Chassis

Our ZenBook comes in a slim, compact metal case with a matte, dark-gray (Pine Grey) finish. An alternative, bright purple (Lilac Mist) variant of the laptop is available as well. In most areas, Asus has continued to use smooth surfaces. The back of the lid has a concentric, brushed finish with the "Asus" logo as the centerpiece. When opened, the bottom edge of the lid serves as a stand that slightly elevates the back of base unit. As a side effect, the airflow is improved. The battery is fixed. Furthermore, there is no maintenance hatch on the laptop. In order to access the components, the case needs to be opened.

The clearances are even and there are no excess materials. The device also does not suffer from any major rigidity issues. While the base unit can be twisted with a sufficient amount of force, the rigidity is still good enough to not be a reason for concern. The same holds true for the lid. Regardless: A higher rigidity should not be too much to ask from a highly mobile 1,400-Euro (~$1,665) laptop. Applying pressure to the back of the lid does not create distortions on the screen. Although the hinges hold the lid firmly in place, there is some teetering. The display can be opened to a maximum angle of about 140°. The display can be opened with one hand.

The ZenBook matches competitors in terms of its dimensions. Here, the Acer Swift 3 SF313-52 is an exception due to its 13.5-inch display with a 3:2 aspect ratio that significantly increases its width. At a weight of just below 1,100 grams (~2.43 lbs), the UX325JA is only bested by certain Samsung models.

Features - ZenBook with Two Thunderbolt 3 Ports

Although the port selection of the ZenBook has been trimmed, it is well thought out. The laptop comes with two Thunderbolt 3 ports, both of which support Power Delivery and DisplayPort via USB-C. Combined with the HDMI port, the UX325 has a total of three video outputs. Additionally, a docking station or an external GPU can be connected.

A USB Type-C to USB Type-A adapter is not required. Instead, Asus has directly implemented a USB Type-A port (USB 3.2 Gen 1) in addition to the USB-C ports. However, a USB Type-C to headphone jack adapter is included in the package. There is no dedicated, combined audio jack.

Right: card reader (microSD), USB 3.2 Gen 1 (Type-A)

SD Card Reader

The microSD card reader is one of the faster models. When transferring larger files, it achieves a maximum transfer speed of 85.5 MB/s. We also transferred 250 jpg image files (around 5 MB each) at 75.3 MB/s. We use our reference card (Toshiba Exceria Pro M501 microSDXC 64 GB) to test card readers.

Webcam

The integrated webcam (3D IR HD; 0.9 MP) offers a maximum resolution of 1280x720 pixels. The color accuracy is lackluster. The deltaE-2000 color deviation of 30 is far removed from the ideal range (deltaE of less than three).

Accessories

Apart from the usual documents (warranty information, quick-start guide), the laptop also comes with a sleeve and a USB-C to headphone jack adapter.

Maintenance

There is no maintenance hatch on the laptop. In order to reach the components, the bottom plate has to be removed. First, all the screws on the bottom of the device need to be loosened. Careful: Two of the screws are hidden beneath the rubber feet in the back. The bottom plate can subsequently be removed with a sharp edge. It is latched fairly tightly onto the base unit.

Warranty

The system comes with a two-year warranty. A warranty extension to three years can be purchased for around 50 Euros (~$60).

Input Devices - Onboard Keyboard Backlighting

Keyboard

The ZenBook is equipped with a backlit chiclet keyboard, which stretches itself across the entire length of the base unit. The smooth, flat keys offer short travel and a distinct actuation point. The QWERTY keys have a size of 16 x 13 mm. Meanwhile, the arrow keys are very small at 7 x 13 mm. As a result, trying to press the arrow-up/-down key often results in accidentally pressing the key above or below it, respectively.

The keyboard area slightly yields when typing. This did not prove to be a major issue. The backlighting offers three brightness levels, which can be switched between via a dedicated function key. Overall, Asus has delivered a keyboard that is suitable for day-to-day use.

Touchpad

The multi-touch ClickPad occupies an area of about 13x6 cm. Thus, a lot of space is available for gesture controls. Fingers effortlessly glide across the smooth surface of the touchpad. The touchpad offers short travel and a distinct actuation point. There are a few extra functions: A numpad can be displayed on the surface of the ClickPad by tapping the top right corner. A swiping gesture from the top left corner opens the Windows calculator.

Display - Bright IPS Screen

The matte, 13.3-inch display has a native resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. While the screen delivers a high maximum brightness (404 cd/m²), the contrast ratio (770:1) is on lower end of the spectrum. For the latter, we consider values of above 1000:1 good.

Unfortunately, we detected flickering at a frequency of 250 Hz at brightness levels of 30% and below. Due to the low frequency, sensitive users may experience headaches and/or eyestrain.

* ... smaller is better

Ex-factory, the color accuracy of the display is good and within the ideal deltaE-2000 color deviation range of less than three (2.7). It does not suffer from a blue tint. We managed to improve the display by calibrating it. This resulted in a lower color deviation of 1.19 and a more balanced grayscale. The display is unable to display the color spaces AdobeRGB (60%) and sRGB (95%) in their entirety.

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White
21 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 16 ms rise
21 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 5 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.8 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 27 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (24.4 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
47 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 22 ms rise
47 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 25 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.8 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 75 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (38.8 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM detected

250 Hz

≤ 30 % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 250 Hz (Likely utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 30 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 250 Hz is relatively low, so sensitive users will likely notice flickering and experience eyestrain at the stated brightness setting and below.

In comparison: 51 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 17699 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 2500000) Hz was measured.

Asus has fitted the ZenBook with an IPS display with good viewing angles. Thus, the screen can be read from any position. Even outdoors the screen content remains discernible. That being said, users should avoid direct sunlight.

Performance - Ice Lake-based Asus System

With the ZenBook 13 UX325JA, Asus has created a slim, lightweight, mobile 13.3-inch laptop with more than enough performance for office and web applications. Our test device can be purchased for approximately 1,400 Euros (~$1,660). Other configurations are available as well with prices starting at about 1,080 Euros (~$1,280).

Processor

The ZenBook is powered by a quad-core Core i7-1065G7 (Ice Lake) processor. In this case, it is a ULV variant with a TDP of 15 watts. The CPU has a base clock speed of 1.3 GHz. Via turbo, the clock speed can be increased to between 3.4 GHz (four cores) and 3.9 GHz (single core). Hyper-Threading, which allows each physical core to handle two threads simultaneously, is supported.

In our Cinebench multithread benchmark, the processor initially runs at clock speeds of 3.2 to 3.5 GHz. Subsequently, the clock speeds drop to the 2.5-2.6 GHz range. The single-thread tests were completed at clock speeds of 3 to 3.9 GHz. In battery mode, we observed clock rates of 1.3 to 3.8 GHz (multithread) and 1.5 to 3.1 GHz (single-thread).

By running the Cinebench R15 multithread test in a loop for at least 30 minutes, we determine whether the CPU Turbo Boost is permanently active while on mains. After the first loop, the scores drop by a large margin. Thereafter, the results slowly and steadily drop after each additional loop. Although the Turbo Boost is still permanently active, the frequency increase compared to the base clock speed is low.
