Asus Zenbook 14 OLED (UX3405MA) Review: Stylish Powerhouse

The 2024 Asus Zenbook 14 OLED is a newly updated laptop with a compact design and a stunning OLED display. Despite its small size, the laptop packs impressive specs. The unit I received for review isn’t a higher-tier configuration but has an Intel Core Ultra 7 CPU and 32GB RAM.

BUILD & DISPLAY

Asus has maintained its reputation for crafting premium laptops with the Zenbook 14 OLED. The metal chassis is sturdy, and the design is sleek and sophisticated. Weighing just 1.21 kg, it’s easy to carry to meetings and events. Thanks to its thin and light design, the Zenbook 14 OLED is ideal for professionals who need to work on the go. The main highlight of the ASUS Zenbook OLED is its 14-inch OLED panel with a 3K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and vibrant colours. Thanks to the OLED display, it offered stunning visuals for work, creative tasks, and even entertainment. Additionally, the Zenbook 14 OLED has a touch screen that makes navigating the Windows 11 operating system easy. The touchscreen features Corning Gorilla Glass, which enhances scratch resistance and reduces scratch visibility.

PERFORMANCE

The ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED is a high-performance laptop that comes equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 155-H processor with Intel Arc graphics. This processor has 16 cores and 22 threads and can reach speeds of up to 4.8GHz. Using this laptop for everyday office tasks is a breeze, and it can handle even the most demanding workloads with ease. I have personally opened over 40 Chrome tabs on this laptop, and it didn’t even lag a bit. I could also edit photos and create shorts/reels without any issues. The fast and efficient Intel Core Ultra 7 155-H processor and 32GB LPDDR5x RAM ensured everything ran smoothly.

In terms of storage, the ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED comes with 1TB NVMe SSD, which is incredibly fast and provides plenty of space for a travel laptop. You can store all your important files, including movies and software, without worrying about running out of space.

BATTERY

With its efficient components and low-power OLED display, the Zenbook 14 OLED stands out as a laptop with impressive battery life. It comes with a sizable 75Whrs battery, allowing you to work uninterrupted for an entire workday without worrying about running out of power. However, the battery depletes more quickly when performing graphics-intensive tasks or rendering. The laptop also supports 65W fast charging, providing quick battery power whenever needed. Whether you need a reliable laptop for long work sessions or are working on the go, the Zenbook 14 OLED’s battery life will surely impress.
