Reviews for the Asus Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition, i7-12700H

At S$2,698, the ZenBook 14X OLED Space Edition is a rather pricey notebook. Especially when you consider that ASUS has other models with similar capabilities and specs that cost less. That’s a hefty premium for some cosmetic changes. It's pricey but the ZenBook 14X OLED Space Edition has a space-inspired design, a fun customisable OLED display on the front, and should be quite exclusive. Ultimately, whether the ZenBook 14X OLED Space Edition is right for you will come down to how much of a ZenBook fan you are or how much you really like the space-inspired design and that somewhat gimmicky but admittedly very funky customisable OLED display on the front. If you like it enough to cough up the extra dough that ASUS is asking, this is a fine notebook. The build quality, display, and performance are all good. The keyboard and trackpad are great, and it has a good offering of ports. The only bad thing you could say about it is that it’s a little chunky and heavy, and battery life isn’t the greatest.

The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition isn’t what I can call groundbreaking or a game changer in the world of productivity laptops. Truth be told, I actually think this laptop is just its parent company playing it safe with the market and merely provided incremental upgrades over last year’s 14X OLED laptop. At a starting price of RM5599, the Space Edition is definitely a solid piece of machinery and, to an extent, art. On top of that, its lightweight means I’m not grumbling to myself for having to carry my usual workhorse around, despite the fact that it is only several hundred grams heavier. The typing experience is solid, the OLED display is a real treat to the eyes, and the fact that it is a touchscreen doesn’t hurt its chances. My only concern with the Space Edition is the little tics and quirks that it has, especially the weird, sluggish loading times for some apps. Having said that, if that little caveat doesn’t sway you, then have at this laptop.

Much of what makes the Zenbook a Zenbook is its usability nuances. Its a laptop intended for discerning mobile workers while making itself distinct enough from a Macbook but maintains an air of affluence all to its own. Many laptop makers follow the same trope with Dell and Lenovo also closely following the same trend in terms of aesthetics. In terms of performance, many of the 12th-gen Intel laptops will rock the same specs so performance will be a moot point across the entire industry once we get saturated with these models. Along with the Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition, ASUS also gave us a glimpse of their entire line-up of Zenbook OLEDs for 2022. The Zenbook 14X OLED standard edition, Zenbook 14(non-X) OLED and Zenbook 14 Flip OLED all join the stable as the H1 2022 lineup for ASUS featuring 12th-gen Intel Core CPUs with one model featuring AMD (Zenbook 14 OLED UM3402YA).

The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition is a distinctive looking take on the traditional Zenbook design and is one of the first laptops to feature the latest 12th Gen Intel Alder Lake CPU along with fast DDR5 RAM, a useful NumberPad 2.0 touchpad, a large and colour accurate OLED touchscreen and robust build quality. It offers excellent performance as an ultra portable for photo editors and for other light content creation tasks on top of being an excellent paperwork cruncher and offers a unique unboxing experience but Its middling endurance, increased price and the ornamental top lid OLED display make it fall short of greatness. If you have the cash to spare and are looking for a unique, high performing ultraportable with a colour accurate display, this particular laptop is quite literally out of this world.

Tough question to answer, honestly. Let’s take a look at the variants available and their prices. Honestly speaking, I think the Zenbook 14X OLED UX5401 Space Edition isn’t exactly that expensive. It’s a special edition after all, so some price premium is expected. However, I highly recommend the Core i5-12500H version instead since the performance out of the Core i7-12700K version is probably not going to be utilized much.

After spending more than two weeks with the ZenBook 14X OLED Space Edition, I have to say that I'm pleased with it. Among its best features are the superb OLED visual presentation and its performance capability for creators to do their work. The Space Grade build also means it's tough enough to work in space. But then again, not everyone is an astronaut, and I'm quite sure that the choice of materials jacked up the price. Currently, there are two models with different processors and storage options. The first one comes with an Intel Core i7-12700H + 1TB SSD is RM6499, whereas the Intel Core i5-12500H + 512GB variant costs RM5599. To be honest, you could get similar laptops from Acer, Lenovo, or MSI. On top of that, ASUS has other models that do the same thing at lower than RM5K prices, except without the cool design and external ZenVision display. But if you do have the budget, why not?

When legendary fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld, the creative director of the French fashion house Chanel, was alive, his shows used to have themes that transported audiences to a different world. For the Fall 2017 collection, Lagerfeld took his audience to space with a 35-meter tall rocket that launched during the show’s finale at the Grand Palais. While reviewing the ZenBook 14X OLED Space Edition, I had a similar feeling of being sucked into the vision of creating a world that explored the idea of space travel, with Elton John’s “Rocket Man” playing in the background. I used the ZenBook 14X OLED Space Edition for a few days, and here’s what I think about the collector’s item that’s more than a laptop.

Based on first impressions, the ZenBook 14X OLED Space Edition is a delightful and desirable notebook. Of course, the classic space-inspired design elements help – after all, who can resist that funky customisable display on the cover? But perhaps more crucially, Intel’s new Alder Lake processor seems to make a big difference in terms of usability. I’m sure performance will be measurably better but what stood out was just how much more responsive this notebook is to use.

Weighing 1.3kg and measuring 15.9mm thick, the ZenBook 14X OLED Space Edition is right in line with today's mainstream laptops. It can sit perched at an angle on the unfolded adapter box, but this isn't the most reassuringly sturdy mount. When flat on a table, Asus' ErgoLift hinge design lifts the rear a little so that the base is angled for more comfortable typing and better airflow. The ZenBook 14X OLED Space Edition will undoubtedly command a premium price. Asus says it will launch in India later in 2022 and be widely available. If you're looking for a laptop that will stand out anywhere, this would certainly fit the bill, but we'll wait till we have more information before deciding whether the extra display and design flair are worth choosing this model over its more conventional siblings.

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.
