This is a really good laptop with battery lasting around one full day on medium use which is pretty good for a student like me who didnot want much weight to carry everywhere i go. The only downside i personally feel is you can often notice your reflection in the screen when you lower the brightness.

I recently purchased the Asus Zenbook and I’m very satisfied with the entire process. The laptop arrived in perfect condition and performs exactly as expected — it’s a high-quality device with great tension on the hinge, smooth performance, and premium build quality.
The seller ensured the order arrived on time, and everything was handled professionally from start to finish. The packaging was secure, and even the FedEx team followed the detailed instructions provided to guarantee safe delivery.
Overall, it was a seamless experience — from the product quality to the delivery process. I highly recommend both the Asus Zenbook and the seller for their excellent service.

OMG - This laptop is absolutely AMAZING! The speed this laptop has mind blowing! It has every bell and whistles on it, the only drawback is the screen resolution 1920x1200, coming from a dell xps with 3840x2160 resolution its somewhat of a letdown, but one I can live with for sure! Having 16 cores makes a huge difference in handling multiple applications! The new design for the ZenBook is nice, has a nice keyboard and touchpad response!
I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS LAPTOP, THE PRICE POINT ON THIS LAPTOP IS WELL WORTH IT!

I really like my new computer. Chase at Best Buy Salem was very helpful helping me pick it out an answered my many questions. Shipping was fast and everything arrived in perfect condition. I wasn’t so sure about getting a touch screen but I have gotten used to it. Would definitely go back to Best Buy for an Asus.

This laptop is amazing. To color is vibrant and connectivity is wonderful. I do wish the battery life was longer but it is much better than older laptops. Brand is dependable!

Laptop computer . I had just recently purchased a laptop computer from Acer. I had one in the store in one of the branches in Anderson South Carolina where the very helpful staff had helped me make a final selection of what is it that I would the most benefit from and was able to purchase this computer

This laptop is beautiful and has a lot of features for the value. I work from home, office and on the road and it has done a great job. The screen is beautiful and the sound quality is good. I would recommend purchasing at Best Buy because they have outstanding customer service!

I needed a new portable PC to serve as a bit of a workhorse while being light-weight and having a small footprint in my travel bag of choice. An ASUS Zenbook seemed to be the perfect option if it could live up to its claims as a sleek and powerful laptop for productivity and creativity. Well, enter the 14” Zenbook UX3405C.
I’m a package guy. I’m of the belief that the way a manufacturer packages their product sends the consumer a message about the quality of their products and their commitment to safe delivery. With that said, my Zenbook was well packaged in standard colored cardboard – tight, firm, and shock protected. Open it and the inner-box is actually a cardboard mechanism with hinges and a working pop-up platform – neat. Considering the amount of material used for the box compared to the size of the Zenbook itself, your laptop is well protected from bumps, short drops, etc. while in route.
My first impression after opening the box and removing the Zenbook: Man, this thing is small, thin, and premium! Sleek. Compact. Well-built. These are the terms that come to mind when first handling this laptop. It’s heavy and sturdy enough to give it a feeling of worth, but not too heavy to feel like a tote burden. There are plenty of ports available (2 USB-C thunderbolt), but the ones that stand out are the full-sized HDMI port, the old-school USB-A port, and the headset jack. These are all more than welcome, in my book, as they make specific connectivity a breeze when wireless options aren’t available. There is quite a bit of ventilation on the bottom, with air intake holes stretching across almost the width of the laptop. Opening the Zenbook reveals a near edge-to-edge screen, a nice keyboard, and a more than adequately sized trackpad. Overall, not only does this Zenbook look the part, but it gives me a sense of satisfaction as an owner before even turning it on. I think ASUS did a fantastic job with the design, with attention to detail, good port decisions, and build quality. The only other hardware item in the box was a USB-C charger – it’s simple, and welcome.
Once I stopped gawking at it and turned it on, my first thoughts were O-L-E-D. It didn’t take long at all to see that beautiful screen in action. The Zenbook start up is a pulsating white graphic on a solid black canvas, and the top-notch local dimming and light-source shading are on full display. In a word, the screen is exceptional. Colors are vibrant and rich. Contrast is distinct. It’s not only visually stunning, but animations and transitions are buttery-smooth. This Zenbook is a Windows 11 machine, so you know what that means – updates! Yep, get ready to go through the update trenches. One thing I will say is these updates give a good sense of the laptop’s response when it’s pushed or is working hard. The fan is real, and it’s got a little umph to it (more on that later). Some are put off by a good fan, but I tend to like it because it gives me the feel that my machine can get some heavy lifting done. The keyboard is comfortable, feels good, but not great. It’s not quite as smooth and tactile as I prefer. The key travel is fine, but the stiffness and inconsistency are the issues I have. I think it’s a decent typing experience, but I expected something a little more refined and feel-friendly.
I’m a developer, so I installed the latest version of Visual Studio and VS Code along with a couple of database management clients. I also do some media editing (video and photo), so I installed Filmora for now – a couple of photo editing tools to come. This Zenbook comes with a 1TB SSD, a specification I truly salivated over. You have about 932GB of storage at your disposal. Once I installed my software, I still had over 800GB of storage remaining. Another literal delight in the specs was the 32GB of RAM – yep, 32, not 16. This means you have onboard memory for a better video editing experience. All sitting on top of an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor with 16 cores. Normal, everyday tasks like checking email, browsing the web, using Office-like productivity tools, feel snappy and responsive. When using development tools such as Visual Studio, the Zenbook handles it like a champ. I usually have solutions containing multiple projects and run multiple projects in debug simultaneously due to their dependency on one another. This laptop handles this taxing environment, also hitting a local (run on the laptop as well) database server, without issue. It has also been surprisingly capable when editing video. It’s a little workhorse, I tell ya! Back to the fan on this workhorse. The Intel processor in this Zenbook can get a little warm when pushed, and the fan, along with the ventilation design, works in concert to do a good job cooling the unit. When I first looked at the laptop, I thought the vents along the left side were a custom dock port – sad, I know. The air flow might be the best I’ve experienced in a small notebook. Using the MyASUS app, you can set a fan profile, review status and performance statistics, and choose a performance profile. The fan profile allows you to have the fan quiet when needed and wide open when performance is needed. Even though this Zenbook includes MyASUS in its pre-installed software, ASUS did a great job in not loading this device down with bloatware. There are options to install additional entertainment software and tools, but nothing forced upon you as I’ve seen in the past. I really hope they keep taking this approach!
Not much more I can add. This laptop does much more than handle simple computing and everyday tasks – web surfing, email, video conferencing, and office productivity apps. It serves as a viable portable desktop for most, if not all. It has snappy performance and provides enough processing power and RAM to get what many call “real work” done. The design is elegant, yet solid, and that OLED display is the icing on the cake. Add to that plenty of ports and USB-C charging, and it’s a can’t miss. Kudos to ASUS!

I think it's a good product, but the materials feel very cheap or low-quality. In terms of performance, it has very good specifications, but I don't think they're fully utilized. It also froze a couple of times.

The ASUS Zenbook 14 with Touch Screen is great. The power and the storage space makes me very content with my purchase. My last three computers have been ASUS and I bought one for my son for college. The touch screen is great for on the go and quick decision making when checking emails and visiting important sites.
