Whats Included
- Zenbook 14" 2.8K OLED Laptop - Intel Evo Platform - 12th Gen Core i5 Processor - 8GB Memory - 256GB SSD
A: No, the RAM is soldered but you can upgrade storage.
A: That is a good point. This may be a mistake that Best Buy made. A few days ago, it said "4K screen" before they changed it to 2.8K. I will also assume that the price will not be $749.99 when it is released
A: In settings, you can choose between a 60hz and a 90hz display. Out of the box, it is 60hz. Keep in mind that a higher refresh rate will decrease battery life. Asus changed the vents to the left side. Unlike last years model, they are not pushing hot air onto the screen but out to the left.
Q: Nits?
A: It looks like it is a fairly new listing on Best Buy. From the research I have done and the pictures, it looks like it is a UX3402 model. This means that this 2.8K OLED screen has a max brightness of 550 nits.
A: This model does not have a touchscreen. There are different variants of the same model. Asus will probably release the i7 12th gen with 16gb of RAM later. That model will most likely have the touch screen.
A: I have not received this laptop yet, but Asus claims that the 75Wh battery can last up to 18 hours. I recommend watching Youtube reviews for real world performance.
A: The laptop and a USB-C charger.
