70% Asus ZenBook 14 UX425 review: Reliable performer
Source: Gadgets Now English Archive.org version
Asus ZenBook 14 UX425 has a strong build, a matte-finish design which is scratch-free and a backlit keyboard with multi-functional keys. Its compact form-factor, fast processor and long battery life with quick charge support seem to be further making a point. Priced at Rs 95,990, the laptop can be a good choice for the office goers who want a reliable device with strong performance and long battery life.

80% Asus ZenBook UX425JA Review
Source: NDTV Gadgets English Archive.org version
The ZenBook UX425JA will compete with Xiaomi's Mi Notebook 14 Horizon Edition on the low end, and the Dell XPS 13 and HP Spectre models as well as the MacBook Air (2020) if you have a generous budget. The variant I tested officially costs Rs. 95,990, which is a lot to pay. Still, a laptop like this would have cost much more not too long ago. The Core i5 variant at Rs. 79,990 will be more attractive, and is an interesting option for those who want something one step up from the mainstream.

86% Asus Zenbook 14 (UX425) Review — A Truly Refined Machine But Not Without Its Quirks
Source: Pokde English Archive.org version
ASUS is asking for RM4699 for the ASUS ZenBook 14 (UX425), which is pretty reasonable for all the hardware they crammed into the machine. The battery life is good, the screen is great, keyboard is excellent and the trackpad is just exemplary. In a nutshell, it’s one fine ultraportable laptop. We can see that ASUS did put all of their knowledge into making it thinner, lighter and nicer to use, although the loss of the headphone jack is just absolutely uncalled for.

ASUS ZenBook 14 (UX425) Review – Good for school?
Source: The Tech Revolutionist English Archive.org version
It has been really quite a while since I’ve seen a sensible notebook computer in the market. The ASUS ZenBook 14 (UX425) is a value-oriented thin and light notebook computer that comes with premium design and features. Even though it is designed to be highly portable, ASUS did not make any trade-offs with this model. Therefore, we are still able to enjoy the notebook’s high performance, full-sized I/O ports and even the unique ASUS NumberPad 2.0.

Review – ASUS ZenBook 14 UX425: Great ultrabook but with a twist
Source: NLT English Archive.org version
I’d say yes. ASUS offers this laptop in two different sizes – either in 13-inches of 14-inches, but both of them are at the same price. My biggest complaint is this laptop not having an audio jack – but the importance of that varies depending on how you use your laptop.

85% Asus ZenBook 14 UX425 review (UX425JA – with Intel i7-1065G7 & Iris Pro)
Source: Ultrabook Review English Archive.org version
If you're looking for a portable everyday laptop that you plan to take to work or school and use for browsing, video streaming, Office apps, text editing, and these sorts of casual activities, this ZenBook 14 UX425JA should be on your list. The metallic construction, the excellent inputs and IO, the matte screens, the long battery life, and the snappy everyday experience, make this a good buy at around 1000-1200 USD, or the equivalent in your region. At the same time, this could be sturdier built, as well as more competent with demanding loads.

80% ASUS ZenBook 14 UX425 review: Is this the ZenBook we've been waiting for?
Source: Hardware Zone English Archive.org version
Comparisons against the older ZenBook UX434 are inevitable and the short answer is that you should pick the older ZenBook UX434 for performance and the newer ZenBook UX425 for portability. However, remember that the ZenBook UX434 doesn’t have Thunderbolt 3 ports nor does it support USB-C charging. On the other hand, the ZenBook UX425 doesn’t have a headphone jack. Each notebook has its pros and cons. Hopefully, ASUS will create the perfect ZenBook in the near future by melding the things we like about the two.

Intel Iris Plus Graphics G7 (Ice Lake 64 EU): Integrated graphics card in Intel Ice-Lake G7 SoCs based on the new Gen. 11 architecture with 64 EUs (Execution Units / Shader Cluster). The clock rate depends on the processor model ranging from 300 MHz base to 1050 - 1100 MHz boost. The Ice-Lake chips are produced in the modern 10nm process at Intel produced.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

i7-1065G7: Ice Lake-based quad-core processor for thin and light laptops. The four cores are clocked at 1.3 GHz to 3.9 GHz and should offer 18% more IPC (instructions per clock) than the previous generations (and therefore partly close the clock speed gap). Produced on first-gen 10 nm Intel process.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

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.
