ZenBook 14 heralds a new era of ultraportable design, with an ultracompact, ultralight chassis.

The ZenBook 14 also introduces the exclusive new NumberPad, a touchpad with a switchable numeric keypad for speedy data entry. Even when the NumberPad is activated, the touchpad retains its cursor function. As for the display, the ultraslim bezels are just 2.9 mm thin at the sides, 3.3 mm at the bottom and a mere 6.1 mm at the top to accommodate the camera. The ZenBook 14 is only about the size of an A4 sheet, which is smaller than many 13.3-inch laptops. Its crisp, clear, high-resolution display makes any visuals look their best, with wide viewing angles and vivid, accurate colors. It also features exclusive ASUS technologies, including ASUS Splendid and ASUS Tru2Life Video that fine-tune display parameters to ensure optimum eye comfort and color performance, for any kind of content.

It features an USB-C port for any-way-up connections and superfast USB 3.1 Gen 2 data transfers. And users will also find a USB 3.0 Type-A port, a USB 2.0 port, an HDMI port and a microSD card reader, so it’s easy to connect to all peripherals.

Intel UHD Graphics 620: Integrated GPU (GT2, 24 EUs) found on some Kaby-Lake-Refresh CPU models (15 W ULV series). Technically identical to the previous Kaby-Lake GPU called HD Graphics 620. Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards. » Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  
8565U: Whiskey Lake based low power quad-core processor (technically identical to Kaby Lake but produced in a further improved 14nm++ process). The four cores are clocked between 1.8 and 4.6 GHz (Turbo Boost) and support HyperThreading.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

Asus: ASUSTeK Computer Incorporated, a Taiwanese multinational company, produces motherboards, graphics cards, optical drives, PDAs, computer monitors, notebook computers, servers, networking products, mobile phones, computer cases, computer components, and computer cooling systems. The company's 2007 revenues reached US$6.9 billion. ASUS also produces components for other manufacturers. The Eee PC initiated the netbook boom in 2008.

In the notebook sector, Asus had a global market share of about 11% from 2014-2016, making it the fourth largest laptop manufacturer. In the smartphone sector, Asus is not among the Top 5 and has only a small market share (as of 2016).

81.05%: This rating should be considered to be average. This is because the proportion of notebooks which have a higher rating is approximately equal to the proportion which have a lower rating.
