I've been putting the ASUS Zenbook 14 (Intel Core Ultra 7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) through its paces mainly for work. So far, I've been using Microsoft Edge, Adobe Acrobat, Clip champ, and hopping on Teams & Zoom calls. It handles all my daily tasks wonderfully. No lag, no loud fans. I just runs smooth sailing day in & day out. I haven't tried gaming on it, so I can't comment on that front, but for productivity? It's definitely up to the task.
Display
The OLED screen is a standout. The colors are vibrant, the blacks are deep, and everything just looks so much sharper. For anyone pressed on seeing fine image details on a laptop, 2K OLED beats 4K LCD any day of the week. I find myself enjoying even the dullest tasks simply because the display is that good. While I haven't pushed it to any graphic extremes, for presentations, watching media, or just browsing, it’s more than capable. Movies on the "TV & Movies" app look great with HDR display settings turned off or on.
Camera Toggle:
What I really appreciate is the handy physical camera toggle switch at the top. No need for tape or sticky notes, just flick it and you’re good to go. The webcam itself is surprisingly good too. It evens out your skin tone without turning you into a plastic doll, which is a relief if you’re jumping on an 8am video calls without any makeup or prep.
Keyboard & Trackpad:
Typing on this laptop is a admittedly more comfortable than typing with my mechanical keyboard used on my desktop. The keys are backlit and feel just right. It also has a dedicated Co-Pilot button. Quiet but not too soft. The trackpad is spacious, responsive, and those shortcut gestures for brightness and volume are lifesavers when you’re in the thick of work and don’t want to dig through settings.
CoPilot Key & Features:
There’s a special CoPilot key right on the keyboard that lets you launch Microsoft’s AI assistant with just a single tap. I’ve found it super handy for summarizing documents, whipping up quick messages, and tackling small tasks while I’m juggling multiple things at once. If you’re someone who’s always balancing a ton of responsibilities, having Co-Pilot saves a ton of time.
Design & Portability:
This thing is practically weightless compared to say an iPad with a Magic Keyboard. I'd say it feels as light as a composition notebook. It’s slim but sturdy, fitting snugly in my work backpack. Even the charger is lightweight and compact with no awkward blocks or bulky mess to lug around.
Connectivity & Wi-Fi:
The Asus Zenbook come with (2) Thunderbolt 4 inputs, a USB-A, HDMI, and a headphone jack (No need for a 3.5mm to USB-C dongle). Wi-Fi 7 connected to my home and work networks quickly and even held strong from a couple of rooms away.
Battery Life:
The battery life has been fantastic. It's always become instinct to plug it up to the charger but between operation task at work and working on sales, I've gotten 2 days without it EASILY! Granted, I am not plays games or doing labor intensive tasks like video editing...yet. It's mainly Zoom calls, file uploads, and all the usual work stuff going on.
Final thoughts:
I've really enjoyed using this laptop. It has a sleek design, runs smoothly, and comes with a bunch of little features that genuinely make a difference, like the webcam toggle and the lightweight charger. For both work and everyday tasks, it’s been reliable with absolutely no complaints from me so far. I am also really excited to utilize the Co-Pilot feature on the near future.

Great, small laptop. Lightweight, fast, and easy. I love the touch screen, also love the built in AI. I don't use it for any gaming or anything crazy, but it's fast for what I need it for.
