80% Asus Zenbook 14X OLED review: ultrabook with bright screen, great battery life
Source: Creative Bloq
Anyone looking for a performance laptop that’s actually useful as a portable should give the Zenbook 14X a thorough appraisal. It offers about as much power as you’re going to find in a portable computer right now without getting yourself an RGB-festooned gaming PC. Taking on the MacBook Pro in terms of sheer brute computing power, the Zenbook is cheaper, has a touchscreen and runs Windows 11, but can’t compete for battery life or cachet.

60% Asus’ Zenbook 14X isn’t the MacBook competitor it could be
Source: The Verge
The Zenbook’s disappointing battery life makes a very good case for the MacBook Pro as the better buy for most people. Even if you love the 14X’s futuristic design, it comes at quite a cost. Especially if you’re looking for a portable device to bring out and about, the extra hours of freedom from an outlet that the MacBook gives you should be worth an uglier computer. For those willing to compromise on RAM, storage, and a few hours of battery life, the 14-inch MacBook Pro is also an excellent alternative — and it can be purchased for less than the Zenbook if you can find it on sale. If you are looking for a Windows alternative to the MacBook Pro and you don’t care about battery life at all, this Zenbook is competitive in basically every other respect. It’s incredibly well-built and powerful with a standout display, and its vibrant design is fun in a way no Apple laptop has ever been. It’s really too bad that Asus didn’t put an AMD chip inside it.

80% Asus ZenBook 14X OLED Space Edition review

There’s no two ways around it: the Asus ZenBook 14X OLED Space Edition is a cool laptop. The visual language is unlike anything else you’ll see in 2022, the ergonomic usability is fantastic and the power under the hood is enough to tackle even more intensive workloads. But there are some flaws that prove problematic, be it the occasionally distracting display coating, the lacking battery life or the higher temperatures of its underside. Overall, it’s a great system and if you like the space aesthetic, it’s worth the money. But don’t forget that you can get (most of) the same package for a cheaper price in the standard ZenBook 14X OLED.

78% Asus Zenbook 14X OLED (Space Edition) UX5401ZAS 12th Gen Core i9-12900H (2022) Review: Interstellar Aspirations
Source: Think Digit
The ASUS Zenbook 14X Space Edition is a great thin and light laptop that offers amazing performance, a great multimedia experience, and decent battery life. The Intel Core i9 chip powering the laptop is highly capable of handling heavy workloads however it loses some of its performance due to thermal constraints. Moreover, on a personal note, the laptop should have come equipped with a dedicated GPU, even an entry-level RTX 3050 would’ve sufficed. But as much as I’d like, the ASUS Zenbook 14X Space Edition is not about those things. It is a niche product, that’s built to last and impress anyone upon the first look. It is a daily driver and also a specialized laptop at the same time. It succeeds in doing so but costs way too much. However, I know that people looking for such a product will have no problem shelling out such a huge amount of money. For the rest of the public though, I’d suggest looking at other more affordable options.

70% Asus ZenBook 14X OLED Space Edition review: Cool design, great display at a premium
Source: India Today
Asus has tried to do something different here. It has come up with a laptop which is dressed to impress in an otherwise boring and predictable Windows laptop market. The ZenBook 14X OLED Space Edition is yet another fine piece of craftsmanship where a lot of attention has been paid to detailing. The special packaging, unique design elements, secondary display and a gorgeous OLED panel try hard to convince you to pay Rs 1.15 lakh (base variant) for this laptop. Still, that's a lot of money. That's why its difficult to recommend the ZenBook Space Edition despite all its charm. It struggles on the gaming front and doesn't have anything extraordinary for the price it asks. If you like design, there is no harm spending on the ZenBook 14X Space Edition. Otherwise, the MacBook Air will always look like a better option.

The Asus ZenBook 14X OLED Space Edition is the kind of laptop that's made for a small number of people, but it delivers exactly what they want – for the most part. There's very little here that you won't like, but its surprisingly short battery and hefty price tag make the device a powerful, premium showpiece that's best kept in orbit around a nearby power outlet.

In summary, the Asus Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition is unique and looks unlike anything else on the market. The space edition retails for Rs. 1,14,990 for the i5 variant, Rs. 134,990 for the i7 variant and Rs. 1,69,990 for the i9 variant respectively. Surely, it’s on the pricier side of thin and light laptops, but it offers many unique features like the overall design and esthetics, customizable outdoor screen, and more. It also has the usual notebook features, such as an excellent display, great build quality, a pleasant keyboard, touchpad, etc. If you are someone who appreciates all the things related to the Space Edition, the laptop is undoubtedly worth the money. All in all, if you are not looking for something as unique as the Space Edition and want to save some money, the recently launched Zenbook 14 is worth a look.

60% Asus ZenBook 14X OLED Space Edition Review: Buy it for the fun, not for productivity
Source: The Times of India
The Asus ZenBook 14X OLED Space Edition is a great attempt at creating something exciting out of a mundane high-end Windows notebook. Asus has certainly gone the distance to justify the extra you pay for this one, especially with the special packaging, that space-themed paint job, a cutesy display, some beefy performance bits inside, and a gorgeous OLED display. It all looks exciting but for the extra I am paying, it just doesn’t feel as special as the ROG special offs we have seen in the past. Even if you consider the base Core i5 variant at Rs. 1,14, 990, the ZenBook 14X OLED Space Edition doesn’t bring anything revolutionary or exciting. It is essentially the same Windows 11 laptop you can buy for much less, albeit with a meh paint job and some tacky wallpapers that shouldn’t have been approved by Asus designers in the first place! Being a fan of all things space, I could not find it exciting enough to spend an extra day with the ZenBook 14X OLED Space Edition over the designated review period. That small display on the lid look promising but is simply useless by all means at the moment.

An outlay of Rs 1,69,990 will be needed to make you a proud owner of the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition, making it a pricey proposition. Of course, this isn’t a run-of-the-mill device, and spending that kind of money might not seem justified but if you’re not a big ASUS fan or a space buff. If you do decide to do that however, your money will get you a device that’s not just a capable, feature-rich and unique laptop, but one that can turn heads and get you loads of attention as well.

Finally, A Laptop For Space Nerds: ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED "Space Edition" Review!
Source: MrMobile
Space. Whether the fictitious trappings of Star Trek or the real-life missions demystifying our solar system, space exploration has informed nearly every aspect of who I've been since I woke up early one early-nineties morning to watch the Space Shuttle hurtle into the heavens on a pillar of fire. So I can’t help but think ASUS made the Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition especially for me. A PC with enough portable power to be useful here on the ground, but with a look and feel more at home in orbit. The Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition is a silver-anniversary celebration of the first ASUS laptop to fly aboard the Mir space station – and it’s also a commemoration of crewed spaceflight as a whole.

85% Asus Zenbook 14X Space Edition review (2022 UX5401ZAS model – i9-12900H, OLED)
Source: Ultrabook Review
With the ZenBook 14X Space Edition, Asus offers a powerful ultraportable built on a 12th gen Intel Alder Lake hardware platform, very capable in CPU-heavy loads, but not as competent in GPU tasks and efficiency compared to the alternative AMD platforms available in this space as of 2022. At the same time, the 14X is still my favorite ZenBook design so far, with the 16:10 screen, the uncompromised IO and inputs, and the updated thermal design, but I'm not entirely sold on some of the particularities of this Space Edition design, especially as this demands a premium over the regular Zenbook 14X variants with similar specs and doesn't offer all the configuration options available with the standard 14X.

What the Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition ultimately boils down to, is whether one is willing to fork out an extra S$300 for aesthetics and incremental improvements. For those who find themselves wanting a durable, highly portable notebook, and derive a certain experiential pleasure from owning and using pretty things, this is definitely a notebook worth considering.

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.
