ASUS - Zenbook 14 14" FHD+ OLED Touch Screen Laptop - Intel Core Ultra 9 - 32GB RAM - 1TB SSD - Jasper Gray

I’ve been using the ASUS Zenbook 14 (14" FHD+ OLED, Intel Core Ultra 9, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) for a bit now, and it’s honestly been a perfect laptop for college. It’s lightweight and easy to carry around campus, and the build quality feels premium. The OLED screen is stunning—colors are vibrant, text is super sharp, and it makes everything from note-taking to streaming movies look great. Performance is excellent for schoolwork, multitasking, and even some gaming. I tested it with Minecraft, and it runs very smoothly with great FPS. I also tried Marvel Rivals, and on low settings, I was able to get a consistent 60+ FPS, which is impressive for an integrated graphics machine. It’s definitely not a full gaming laptop, but it handles casual and lighter games really well. Battery life has been solid too—it lasts through classes and study sessions easily, and it charges fast when I need to top it up. Having 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD also means everything opens quickly, runs smoothly, and I don’t have to worry about storage. Overall, this is a fantastic laptop for students who want something powerful, portable, and with a gorgeous display, while still being able to enjoy games like Minecraft and Marvel Rivals in their downtime.

I have been using this Zenbook for some weeks now and honestly it feels like a solid upgrade. The OLED display is very sharp and colours look rich, watching movies or even coding late night feels easy on the eyes. Performance wise with Intel Ultra 9 and 32GB RAM it handles everything smooth, even when I keep too many Chrome tabs, VS Code, and Power BI running together. Boot up is instant and the 1TB SSD has enough space for all my files. Battery backup is decent, I am getting around 6 to 7 hours with mixed use, sometimes less when brightness is high. Keyboard is comfortable for long typing and the touch screen comes handy when scrolling or zooming. It is also quite light so carrying to university or office is not a problem. Overall I would say it is a premium laptop at this price, perfect for work and study both.

So far this laptop has not disappointed me. It's plenty fast and light for doing my work and has not had any problems. The screen is wonderful and if you are debating getting the other one with a better screen is not worth it since not only is OLED already a amazing experience compared to non OLED laptops but from my experience the other doesn't go on sale since I picked this one up for $1100. I can't say how well the gaming experience is yet but the precessor is more than enough and the arc graphics can most likely get you some games with a pleasant experience. Though some downsides are it does have a bit of bloatware, the screen can get smudgy, and it does only have one USB-A port though makes up with dual thunderbolt USB-C. Overall for a top end Asus laptop it's great and I would recommend especially when on sale.
