I'm happy to see Asus put good effort into their mainstream lineup of thin-and-light ultrabooks and improve the ZenBook 14 OLED in this UX3402 generation. They included excellent 16:10 display options with this update, revamped the design and ergonomics, bumped the performance capabilities by implementing Intel Core P hardware, and bundled a larger battery inside. The efficiency is still somewhat lacking with these Intel platforms, though, and the weight of this series has increased a bit from the previous model.

The ASUS company continues to actively develop the line of Zenbook image laptops, and while we are waiting for new products presented at CES 2023, we’ll review the Zenbook 14 OLED model (UX3402ZA) presented at the end of last year. This compact 14-inch laptop promises the best you can get in the Zenbook line today: a quality screen, high performance, and, of course, battery life. Let’s see if this is really the case and what else the Zenbook 14 OLED has to offer.

Are there niggles? Sure, there are. Build quality doesn’t feel absolute tip-top, and the webcam can be an issue if you have to often take meetings remotely. The notebook also gets noisy and warm when taxed, but as I said, the same can be said for just about any Intel-powered notebook. The most obvious rival is Lenovo’s Yoga Slim 7 Carbon. The Lenovo also has an OLED display and, because of its carbon fibre chassis, is considerably lighter. However, the ZenBook counters with its lower price tag and superior connectivity. The ZenBook has Thunderbolt ports, which is arguably the Yoga Slim 7 Carbon greatest weakness. All things considered, the ZenBook 14 OLED UX3402 is remarkable value and should be considered as one of the best bang for buck notebooks you can buy right now, especially with some of the current year-end offers pushing the price below S$1,700. If you are shopping for a notebook, this absolutely has to be on your shortlist.

For me personally though, I don’t know if it’s worth paying that much for it over something like the much more capable Acer Swift X, which has stellar performance. Starting at RM4,299, it packs an AMD Ryzen 5 5600U with 8GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD and even has an RTX3050 Ti in it for good measure. However, it does lose out considerably when it comes to the display, and the Zenbook 14 OLED does seem to have the edge in battery life too. But for RM100 less than what the comparably specced Zenbook 14 OLED goes for, it’s hard to not consider it especially if you need the graphics power. I guess with all that being said, it really just comes down to what you—the person who’s actually using it—wants in a laptop. I mean, I get it now yes: OLED displays really are amazing, but I still don’t know if it’s worth paying the extra for it. But if you’re someone who finds that having a good display is just as important or even more important than the silicon under the hood, the Zenbook 14 OLED might just be the one to get.

On a full charge, the ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED lasted almost 10 hours when we played a 4K Ultra HD video on a loop in full screen mode. We also ran battery drain tests for typical office application usage including web browsing and office Word document, and the laptop managed 10 hour 52 min before it shut down automatically. As a thin and light laptop, the ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED has a stunning OLED display and proves to be a good performer. With a price tag of S$1,899, this makes it more attractive than its Zenbook 14x OLED sibling. The ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED is available now on the ASUS Store.

I’ll say, the Core i5 model is actually very good in terms of the value that it offers. This is ultimately still a thin and light laptop with supremely long battery life – it’s just that ASUS added a magnificent high-resolution OLED screen to it and we can still play some games at the side. The only thing missing on this laptop is a touchscreen. Other than that, I think it’s a fantastic laptop in its own league.

The ZenBook 14 OLED (UX3402) is a fitting laptop for the new era of ZenBooks from its overall design to its use of Alder Lake processors. However, some design changes may not suit everyone, and we have to see how much ASUS plans to price the ZenBook 14 OLED (UX3402) in the Philippines.

The ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED is a pretty solid ultraportable productivity laptop that can serve anyone well. The few reasons it might turn some people away is if they need touchscreen support, a more powerful machine for rendering / heavy video editing, or they can’t stomach its asking price of RM5,599. If none of these are applicable to you, then this will definitely serve you well.

We like ASUS’ brand new design language on the ZenBook 14 OLED (UX3402) and the upgrades it has to offer in the processor and battery department. However, we’re wary of its possible price since it’s laptop that does not have a discrete GPU.

A few days ago, I was still singing praises about the Huawei Matebook 14s, as I thought that it was a very well-designed notebook computer that excelled in many aspects. However, now, when compared to the ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED, the Huawei Matebook 14s just doesn’t seem so impressive after all. We’ve got to say that the ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED is certainly a very competitive notebook PC. Priced at S$1899, it is S$100 cheaper than our subject for comparison. Moreover, it even comes with a OLED display, which one-ups the overall entertainment experience of the notebook. Thanks to the latest 12th Generation Intel Core processor, this also allows the notebook to run so much faster. Together with the latest chipset, its DDR5 memory and support for PCIe 4.0 SSD simply makes the notebook an almost perfect notebook for today. It even weighs lighter and is more portable. Suddenly, the Huawei Matebook 14s just seems to have totally lost its ground and retains no value to a consumer anymore.

The ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED (UX3402) is one of those laptops that I can recommend to most interested users without hesitation. It has almost everything you would expect from a laptop of this class, although, of course, there are some drawbacks. Let me start with them. I didn’t quite like the built-in speakers, as they produce a sound that is almost devoid of low tones. Also worth mentioning is the rather high temperature of the case if we use the full power of the equipment. Still, the Intel Core i7 1260P is powerful, but also quite hot. The Intel Core i5 1240P, which is also used in the ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED (UX3402), would have been enough for me. Also, the camera still leaves much to be desired, although this is a problem with almost all Windows laptops. Speaking of prices, it should be understood that this is a premium product and there are no low prices in this segment anymore. I also missed the included stylus, but that’s another story. But after spending a fairly significant amount of your money, you get a top-of-the-line Zenbook laptop. The build quality is very high, and I really liked the updated design of the aluminium case. The undoubted advantage of this laptop is, of course, its OLED display – bright, with high resolution, a very wide colour palette, good colour reproduction, infinite contrast, good HDR reproduction and a refresh rate above the standard (90 Hz). We shouldn’t forget about the very productive SSD drive and a solid processor that can handle the tasks we expect from this type of laptop without any problems. In addition, we get a very comfortable keyboard, a large touchpad with the NumberPad option, a fairly good set of ports, a fairly high-quality webcam, and a long battery life. And all this is enclosed in a very thin and lightweight body, which contributes to the mobility of the device. The ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED (UX3402) is an ideal choice for those looking for a powerful, mobile and versatile laptop in a slim body with a modern design.

Obviously, the Zenbook 14 OLED (UX3402) is far from a gaming device. However, this doesn’t stop it from being a fantastic business notebook, which can let you do professional color-related work while elevating your media-consumption experience. We might talk about some disadvantages here. First, there is the soldered memory. It has a maximum capacity of 16GB, which is not ideal for 2022, given the fact that you won’t be able to upgrade it down the line. Some might consider the temperature results to be a fail, but in fact, the CPU managed to maintain a 30W power target, which is 2W higher than its TDP. Also, the Zenbook 14 OLED (UX3402) sports a super elegant design, and construction, which is very well built, and even complies with the MIL-STD-810H durability standard. And on the question should you pursue the Intel or the AMD version we will say – stay tuned for our in-depth comparison. Spoiler alert – battery life may be a deciding factor.

The Asus Zenbook 14 OLED is a strong refresh to a solid product line. This 2022 model boasts capable performance that will meet most users' needs, and it packs it all into a chassis that looks and feels more premium than its $750 price tag lets on. While the display stands out as this laptop’s best feature with its exceptional color, brightness, contrast, crispness, and smoothness, the touchpad is also great thanks to its size, and the keyboard has an enjoyable, poppy and tactile feel. The only reason to hesitate is that 8GB of memory could slow down power users who rely on many applications and windows all running at once and need to be able to quickly switch between them. As the memory is non-upgradable, there’s no simple way past this limitation. If you’re looking for something that fits a similar role but can come with more memory, the HP Pavilion Aero 13z can come configured with more in a similar price range while swapping an OLED display for a 400-nit, anti-glare IPS display. The Dell Inspiron 16 5000 can also provide a sub-$1000 option with a bigger screen and slightly increase weight.

The Asus ZenBook 14 (UX3402) is a fantastic-looking laptop with a dazzling display, offering good performance for everyday computing tasks. Anyone after a high-quality Windows 11 workhorse will be more than pleased with a ZenBook 14 from the 2022 range. The high degree of colour accuracy means that this is an excellent choice for photography students, or anyone who wants to edit photos, although the lack of a dedicated graphics processor means it’s not as well-suited to video editing as other laptops. Likewise, if you treat the Asus ZenBook 14 as a gaming machine, you will be disappointed – but that’s not what it’s designed for. Solid connectivity, lightweight design, the latest Intel chips, a mostly reliable keyboard and a large trackpad make it a good choice. Just don’t buy it for the calculator hidden in the trackpad.

Asus' new ZenBook 14X comes equipped with the powerful Intel Core i9-13900H. With an above-average robust case, an OLED display with 120 Hz and very good battery life, the ZenBook impresses, but the processor has its limits. More about that in the following review.

If you’ve been paying attention to what I've written, then you’ll know that the ZenBook 14X is a thin, relatively light, ultraportable notebook that has a powerful processor and fairly decent “game-ready” discrete GPU. If you expect all of this to come with a heavy price tag, you’d be right. It’s S$2,699 which makes it one of ASUS’ more expensive ZenBooks.

While one of the more budget-friendly configurations of the Asus Zenbook 14X OLED may make a compelling case as a top value pick, it’s difficult to be disappointed with the more expensive model we reviewed here. At its core, for all models, it’s a luxury-built laptop with extreme portability and a gorgeous OLED display. Our unit rocks with a snappy Core i9 processor for getting real work done, and the discrete GPU—even if it has a clear power ceiling—is a bonus for creative pros. It’s not the least expensive laptop around, but the 14X OLED occupies a more middle-road position in this category that may appeal to those who don’t want to approach the $2,000 mark. While you don’t have to spend too much more for that big jump in graphics performance, this probably isn’t the best value for those shoppers.

ASUS had told me later on there will be a Zenbook 14X version equipped with a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 GPU, Intel Core i9 CPU, and 32GB of RAM. That may seem like overkill for a work laptop. However, if you see yourself doing a lot of video editing or running a ton of apps in the background, consider this third option. Unfortunately, I don't know when it'll launch. All I can do is suggest you keep your eyes peeled.

There’s a lot to love when it comes to the Asus Zenbook 14X OLED. While its performance benchmark results are rarely exceptional, in day to day use, this laptop is often a joy to use. If you can get over those noisy fans, the 14X’s impeccable OLED display truly is a wonder. The screen looks gorgeous, the keyboard is a delight to type on and the 13th Gen Intel CPU and discrete Nvidia GPU give it enough power to handle everything from office work to light gaming. While it can’t compete with the best MacBooks in a testing environment, and there are certainly attractive alternatives when it comes to the best gaming laptops, this Zenbook’s combination of stellar display, CPU grunt and general aesthetic quality make it easy to recommend for people in the market for a new laptop who have a healthy budget.

While I can be British and make a hullabaloo about the battery life not quite being where I’d want it to be, the reality is this is a really good option to buy. The Asus Zenbook 14X OLED gives you a gorgeous touchscreen, great ergonomics, and plenty of power for even pretty intense tasks that your average creative pro would throw at it — all at a reasonable price. Is it a MacBook Pro murderer? Not so much, but it is still a good system that’s quite the looker, too. Whether you’re looking to turbo boost your workload, you want to get creative with some touchscreen art, or you have eyes on this as a laptop to whip out at college when you go back to school, the 14X OLED is a good pick.

Overall, the only notable shortcomings of this notebook are that the trackpad can be prone to random fits of erratic behaviour and that it doesn’t have a touchscreen. If the latter bugs you, let ASUS know on their social media channels because I’ve heard that they might bring in the touchscreen version. Make noise and let them know the folly of their ways. Otherwise, if you are looking for a powerful yet portable notebook, the ZenBook 14X has to be on your shortlist.

The Asus Zenbook 14X OLED (UX3404) is a smart, light, laptop that comes with a touchscreen so beautiful you might not want to touch it. Asus has also included some unique features in this device, including a number pad in the trackpad, as well as a powerful processor. Business users might find themselves attracted to this device because of its host of features, as well as being light and portable. It's worth looking at, especially if you work in an industry or role where you can use its touchscreen.

While the core laptop hasn’t changed, the Q420 Zenbook 14X OLED model is a far more appealing configuration price-wise. The processor is still fast—beyond merely capable—even if it doesn’t quite stack up to the Core i9 version. The move to an integrated GPU is the main downgrade, but it does keep costs down, and the GPU version is available if you need it. Halved storage is not ideal, but plenty of you don’t need more than 512GB for normal office and personal files. In short, the options are available for different users, and this Q420 model as tested is an appealing value. The portability and style come through at this lower price as much as they do in the more expensive version. Versus other systems, this one drives decent speed for less; we just wouldn’t recommend it to the same class of enthusiasts and creative pros as we would more powerful alternatives. For most shoppers, though, the Asus Zenbook 14X OLED (Q420) is the best total package for the price, earning our Editors' Choice award.

ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED is a stylish and easy-to-use laptop built on a fast processor from Intel 13th generation, which at the same time can run on battery during the working day. The model is suitable for those users who are looking for a more powerful solution for everyday work, but do not want to lose mobility. However, the version with integrated graphics is less interesting compared to the configuration in which there is a discrete GeForce RTX 3050 video card. Considering the already rather high cost of the model, it makes sense to look at the older version, which is more balanced in terms of specifications.

That affordable pricing is one of the Asus Zenbook 14X OLED’s impressive attributes. It doesn’t just undercut rivals at the checkout: it outpaces them thanks to the Core i7 processor and has a better display than most, too. The sleek looks from the beige model combine with a comfortable keyboard and decent connectivity to create a laptop with the power and ability to handle most everyday tasks. Battery life is the 14X’s biggest weakness, and we’d advise a MacBook if you need all-day longevity – and the 14in model if you need even more speed. For most situations, though, the Asus Zenbook 14X OLED ticks the right boxes. It’s a classy, impressive and affordable all-rounder.

Overall, this laptop is a mixed bag. It has a lot of power under the hood, but it comes with limitations, such as the lack of upgrade options and the high noise levels when the fan speeds increase. The battery life is decent, but it’s directly related to the screen brightness and what’s being viewed. The port placement is also inconvenient, but the inclusion of Windows Hello is a nice touch. The price is quite steep, but that’s to be expected from a laptop with such powerful specifications. It’s ultimately up to the user to decide whether the price is worth the performance.

And finally, the price. This laptop is priced at a whopping RM5,999 for this exact configuration and I think that it is indeed expensive. There is another Core i5-13500H version that has the same 16GB RAM but half the storage, is priced at RM4,999 only – which I think is a more reasonable price but doesn’t have the ceramic-like finish. But, if you want to be a little more baller – then you can spend RM6,999 for the Core i9-13900H version too. You’ll get a lot more CPU power on paper, but I think it’ll probably thermal throttle very quickly. I do think that if you’re doing MATLAB or similar types of simulation, having a Core i9 will be a big boon for you.

The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED UX3404 is a solid ultraportable productivity laptop, thanks to its vibrant OLED display and performance-oriented CPU. It has its ups and downs but for the best experience possible in the long run, don’t skimp out on the RAM and get the one with touchscreen support. If you can stomach its asking price of RM5,999, I’m sure it will serve you well.

The Asus Zenbook 14X OLED (2023) gets a lot right. It’s fast, sturdy and has a fantastic screen. Its snappy keyboard and decent connectivity keep things moving. This laptop is cheaper than several rivals too. That said, look elsewhere for boundary-pushing performance or all-day battery life.

Assuming the price is not an issue and you want a Windows machine, should you choose the Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro (£1,349) or the Asus Zenbook 14X OLED? That depends very much on your priorities. On one hand, the Samsung is lighter and thinner, has better battery life and a truly superb display. On the other, the Asus is more powerful, has a larger, touch-sensitive screen, a better sound system and, with the beige ceramic finish, looks and feels quite extraordinary. It’s not an easy call. Personally, I like my compacts to have a touchscreen so that would sway me towards the Asus but, no matter which you go for, you’re unlikely to be disappointed with your purchase.

There's plenty to like about this generation of the Asus ZenBook 14X OLED, as a competitive 14-inch portable laptop with a premium chassis, a beautiful OLED display, good inputs and IO, and plenty of performance for daily use and multitasking. The mid-tier Core i7 configurations are especially interesting on this series, as they're quite competitively priced as well. Just make sure a touch OLED display, with its particularities, is right for you.

The Asus Zenbook 14X OLED has an impressive, sleek look and clever design choices, like the built-in numerical keypad or the use of 30% recycled plastics in the chassis. The laptop runs on a high-end Intel processor, has the right amount of RAM, and enough storage space. The keyboard, trackpad, and touchscreen reliably registered all my inputs and were smooth to the touch. A vivid OLED display and Harman Kardon speakers with Dolby Atmos sound make this Zenbook come alive. Most modern productivity laptops perform at a fairly high level, so our subjective experience was much better than our benchmark numbers suggest. If you need extra performance, you could get the Dell Inspiron 14 Plus, but you’d have to make do without an OLED screen. If your main objective is outstanding battery life and a sub-par keyboard won’t phase you, the HP Dragonfly Pro (2023) has more than double the battery life of the Zenbook 14X OLED. Our main gripe is the port placement.

There’s a natural comparison between the Zenbook 14 OLED and the Zenbook 14X OLED, with both representing great values, particularly in their entry-level configurations. Which is a better value comes down to how much you value extra storage and a faster CPU. Then, you have to balance higher performance against longer battery life. It’s a tough call. I went back and forth on how to rate the Zenbook 14X OLED. Yes, it’s more powerful than the Zenbook 14 OLED, but it also gets less battery life. And it’s slightly more expensive. In the end, I think it’s a slightly lesser value, so while I highly recommend it, I don’t think it deserves quite as high a ranking.

The Asus Zenbook 14X OLED is an excellent choice for if you want a simple, sensible laptop that nails the fundamentals of a good laptop experience at a low price. It’s possible to find laptops that are slimmer and lighter, or larger and more powerful, at this price point—but they often make sacrifices in display performance, keyboard quality, or battery life. The 14X OLED not only avoids these problems, but delivers results that are often comparable with more expensive laptops. That makes for great value.

14.00:
14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact.
In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.
