80% Asus Zenbook 14 UX3405CA: Great power comes with poor longevity
Source: Laptop Mag
I’m impressed by the Asus Zenbook 14’s gorgeous all-metal chassis, gorgeous OLED display, smooth keyboard, and powerful Arrow Lake performance. Still, it’s to be expected from one of my favorite laptop lines. However, Asus has missed the mark in one key avenue: Battery life. The conversation around what constitutes good battery life is constantly evolving. When so many other laptops go above and beyond in longevity, anything underneath 10 hours doesn’t quite cut it anymore. The Zenbook 14 only lasted a little over nine hours, so the laptop is far from perfect alongside a muffled speaker system and dim screen. You could look at an alternative like the Asus Zenbook 14 Q425M, which is more affordable and has nearly 16 hours of battery life, although it’s less powerful. Otherwise, the Zenbook 14 UX3405 is still a great laptop.

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.

80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
