Reviews for the Asus Zenbook 14 UX3402VA
Source: PC Mag
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.

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.

73.5%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
