Reviews for the Asus ZenBook A14 UX3407RA
Source: Slashgear
The Asus ZenBook A14 has a lot going for it. Spec-for-spec, if you pit it against the MacBook Air, it comes out on top on a majority of metrics, especially considering the hit on your wallet. This is, by far, one of the most handsome laptops out there, especially in its Zabriskie Beige shade. You barely feel this thing in your backpack, and it's reassuringly sturdy, as well. The keyboard is surprisingly good, and the OLED panel is gorgeous, as well. The biggest functional perk is the battery life, which can comfortably last past a full day, and then some more. It also runs pretty cool, and offers a healthy selection of ports that you won't usually find in the proverbial "thin and light" laptop segment. The biggest conundrum is the performance, which is inherently tied to the Windows on Arm platform and the emulation hit that it delivers.

The Asus Zenbook A14 ticks most of the right boxes for anyone looking for a reliable and highly portable laptop for everyday use without compromising on efficiency. At Rs 99,990 for the Snapdragon X-powered model, it delivers solid build quality, premium design, an enjoyable typing experience, and excellent battery life. However, there are some compromises such as the lack of a fingerprint sensor, display locked at 60Hz refresh rate, and underwhelming speakers. Performance also has its limits, especially if you push it with demanding workloads or legacy software. It’s also worth noting that Windows on Arm still faces some compatibility gaps—certain apps and games don’t yet have native support, which could be a concern depending on your use case.

My experience with the ASUS Zenbook A14 has been very positive. Despite its compact size and light weight, the device has proven its power. I can’t help but think, “Where were you earlier, when I needed a laptop that would hold its charge so well?” This laptop is great for work, study, and entertainment. If you’re still unsure whether to buy it, let me be clear – you don’t just need to buy it, you need to grab it with both hands and feet. It’s a truly successful device, and you won’t regret your purchase. The specifications are almost identical: processor, storage capacity, RAM, and so on. The main differences are: Another competitor in this category is the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 14Q8X9 (83ED0034PB). The main specs are nearly identical to the tested Zenbook A14.

We are impressed by the Zenbook A14 (UX3407). Its main tricks up in its sleeve are the low weight, the thin profile, and the overall performance that is ideal for home or office work. No matter the compact dimensions, the 12-core X Elite X1E-78-100 maintains 3.42 GHz in short loads and 2.55 GHz in long stress. Not bad at all given the 13.4 – 15.9 mm height of the laptop. The 1200p OLED screen (ATNA40CT06-0 (SDC420D)) is great and even suitable for content creation or color-sensitive work.

Qualcomm Adreno X1-85 3.8 TFLOPS: An integrated graphics adapter that four Qualcomm Snapdragon X processors feature, as of Sep 2024. It has 1,536 unified shaders at its disposal that are said to run at up to 1,250 MHz. The underlying architecture is reportedly in many respects the same as what was used in the Adreno 730. While thankfully faster than the aging Intel Iris Xe (96 EUs), the Adreno fails to match the Radeon 780M meaning Baldur's Gate 3, a triple-A title released in 2023, is barely playable at 1080p on low with 23 fps on average. Triple-A games of 2024 fare even worse, in no small part due to Qualcomm's subpar graphics drivers.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

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.
