Asus Zenbooks are welcomed guests on our pages, and we rarely manage to find a significant flaw that would lead us to recommend turning to the competition. It’s somewhat the case again with the Zenbook 14 OLED, where the only potential stumbling block is the price.
Durability and quality of the laptop are extremely important aspects for most users, and the Zenbook 14 OLED will definitely not disappoint in that aspect. It is challenging to design a laptop to be recognizable yet not too intrusive. Laptop buyers from the Zenbook line are mostly business users and students, so Asus doesn’t have the same level of design freedom as with models intended for gamers. Nonetheless, over the years, the company has developed a recognizable yet simple design, which the Zenbook 14 OLED follows. This model looks modern, thanks to sharp, simple lines and a very thin screen bezel. The build quality is typically excellent, leaving a great impression when held.
One aspect where Asus Zenbook laptops are always among the best is the screen quality. This is also the case with the Zenbook 14 OLED. The top-notch 14-inch OLED screen not only boasts excellent display quality but also a very high resolution of 2,880 x 1,800 pixels and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The rest of the peripherals are also top-notch, especially the keyboard, which offers an excellent balance of tactile feedback and key travel. The touchpad is large and offers high precision and reliability, which is actually all you could ask for. The speakers are also one of the areas where Zenbooks set a high standard, but this model further raises it with so-called “Super Linear” speakers, which are loud and offer a surprisingly well-balanced sound image.
Asus has decided to move the USB-C ports to the right side, which could bother you if you plan to use a mouse there.
The tested model of the Zenbook 14 OLED is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor, which, despite its bizarre name, offers excellent performance. The core configuration of this processor is 6P + 8E + 2LE, so you have a significant number of high-performance cores available, as well as cores that offer high energy efficiency, while two cores offering maximum energy efficiency handle the simplest tasks. For the needs of most users in the target audience of the Zenbook 14 OLED, the Core 7 Ultra 155H offers sufficient performance. If you need an even faster laptop, you’ll be interested to know that the Zenbook 14 OLED is also available with a Core Ultra 9 185H processor.
Battery life is a very important aspect of Asus Zenbooks, which is confirmed by the sizable capacity battery that Asus has installed in the Zenbook 14 OLED. To be precise, it is a 75 Wh battery, which will provide most users, at least those who will use their Zenbook 14 for work, with about two days of autonomy. More demanding users will easily achieve a full day of work.
If you want to stand out a bit more, Asus has prepared two colors for the Zenbook 14, the subtle Ponder Blue and the more expressive Foggy Silver.
You will hardly find any drawbacks to this model, even if you are a very demanding user, but if you are a user with more modest financial means, the obstacle between you and the Zenbook 14 could be its price. Asus has also prepared an identical model equipped with a Core Ultra 5 125H processor, which costs a more reasonable 1,250 euros.
