Customers express satisfaction with the Zenbook 14's vibrant screen, long battery life, and lightweight design, praising its performance for everyday tasks. However, some users cite concerns regarding the limited RAM and potential for the device to become warm during use. A few also mention a limited number of ports as a drawback.
Extremely happy so far. For my use, this is the perfect laptop at the right price. I already have a Mac desktop and didn't need a Macbook (well, I didn't need the PRICE of a Macbook lol) and I simply wanted a lightweight laptop that I could use without needing to head upstairs to my office to use my Mac. I have a chronic illness and there are days where I have to limit trips up and down the stairs in my home. My use is mainly for light work within Autodesk Fusion and Bambu Studio for 3d printing, as well as internet browsing. With this in mind, I'm ok with the 8GB RAM especially at this low price point. I do wish it wasn't soldered in, but it not a deal breaker for me. The build is excellent for this little laptop - the aluminum feels sturdy and doesn't creak or bend at all. I was a bit nervous about its dark color, but so far it doesn't seem to be much of a fingerprint magnet so I'm very happy about that. The screen is gorgeous - I of course use dark mode on everything to help prevent any possible burn in since it's OLED. I do wish it wasn't quite so reflective but it's a minor gripe. I specifically wanted a touchscreen because for me personally, I prefer that ability when working with my 3d printing models. The keyboard is solid and the keys are nice and responsive and not mushy. Love the backlight on it which is hard to get at this price point. Overall, it's a very premium feel on a budget. So far it's running cool and quiet for what I'm putting it through, can't speak to battery life in detail just yet, I'm not going to get the 15 promised by Asus but it's shaping up to give me about 8-10 hours of use which is more than enough for my purposes.

This laptop is a great Macbook alternative with good build quality and premium features for much less than the competition. It has a beautiful screen, a great tying experience and a long battery life. I upgraded the SSD with a Silicon Power 2TB NVMe M.2 PCIe that I got for cheap. I also setup up dual partitions for both Window & Linux after cloning the original Windows drive. Both Windows/Linux environments run flawlessly, with the Ubuntu distro running out box without any tweaking (touch screen, Wi-Fi etc). Not only can the laptop handle basic day-to-day tasks, but the Intel Core Ultra 5 can do intensive duties as well, since it's very fast. I'm a very happy camper and feel most will concur after purchasing this item.

This laptop’s OLED screen is stunning, with deep blacks and vibrant colors that make movies and creative work look amazing. Performance with the Core 5 is solid for everyday tasks, but if you need more power for gaming or heavy multitasking, the Core 7 is worth considering. The build feels sturdy, the design is sleek, and the keyboard and trackpad are comfortable. Battery life is decent, though OLED screens can drain it faster. Overall, it's a great choice if you want a top-tier display without sacrificing performance.
