Reviews for the Asus ZenBook A14 UX3407QA, Snapdragon X Plus

Ultimately, the Asus Zenbook A14 (UX3407) presents a compelling case for Arm-powered Copilot+ laptops. From the moment you hold it in your hands, you'll understand the value of the mag-alloy construction and Asus' special finish, which makes the A14 one of the lightest but sturdiest laptops we've tested. While it won't top any performance charts, the vibrant OLED display and standout battery life make it an excellent option for mainstream casual users and students who prioritize portability above all else. If you're after a premium, featherlight laptop with a high-quality screen and a reliable battery, the Zenbook A14 is an excellent option.

Overall, the ASUS Zenbook A14 is a very sleek and minimal looking laptop, especially in this Zabriskie Beige color. The weight is also insanely light (thanks to the company’s Ceraluminum material) that you almost feel you’re holding nothing, it’s so light. The branding on the top lid is clean and simple, it’s just a very nice design and ultraportable thanks to the weight. The keyboard and trackpad are great, and the (non-touch) OLED display looks really nice. This is really an excellent package for most basic users who want an ultraportable and beautiful-looking laptop. The price is a bit higher or about the same as some of the competition with better performance, though. So shop around if you’re in the need of capabilities that ARM processors do not offer.

The Zenbook A14 kind of grew on me the more I used it. At first, it just felt kind of weird, with a surface that wasn’t quick like plastic but wasn’t quite like metal, either. But the more I handled it, the more I liked it. All the work Asus put into its Ceraluminum material wasn’t wasted. I wish the hinge was tighter, but that wasn’t at all a dealbreaker for me. And I love that even though it’s very light, it still got class-leading battery life with solid productivity performance. It’s right up there with the MacBook Air 13 (M4), which is saying something. If you’re looking for a 14-inch laptop that you don’t need for gaming or video editing, then you really need to give the Zenbook A14 some serious consideration.

Qualcomm Adreno X1-45 1.7 TFLOPS: An integrated graphics adapter that the Snapdragon X Plus 8-core X1P-42-100 SoC features. Compared to the faster 3.8 TFLOPS and 4.6 TFLOPS X1-85 iGPUs, this one does not just run at lower clock speeds but also has fewer unified shaders at its disposal, with 768 being the most likely number. The underlying architecture is reportedly not much different from what was used in the Adreno 730. As for its gaming performance, it's only just sufficient for pre-2020 games at resolutions such as HD 720p on low graphics settings.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
