This was an open-box item and other than smelling like pot/Vanillaroma for the first few days it functions perfectly with no dead/stuck pixels and no issues. Amazing cost savings on this machine, which is under 3 lbs and very fast for my small business.

I like the tablet feature the most. As a full time care giver for my elderly father I use the tablet feature for video medical calls and instructing my elderly father during Rehab exercises. I can hold it in one hand, and use the touch screen to move through his routines. It's not heavy and I can pull up the virtual keyboard if needed. The processing speed and storage is a plus.

As a user of an older ASUS Zenbook 14” laptop for the last 3+ years, this latest iteration makes small improvements over an already very compact, competent laptop that handles everyday tasks with ease.
The Zenbook 14 is a very thin, premium looking and feeling laptop in hand. It measures just .59” thick and weighs just 2.82lbs. Interestingly, this is roughly the same thickness as the older Zenbook I have been using however it is a tad lighter. The Jasper Gray color looks fantastic and would fit in any work environment.
As soon as you boot up the computer for the first time you are presented with one of the biggest upgrades, the FHD+ OLED screen! This screen gets bright, vibrant, and has great contrast with inky blacks and vivid colors. This is also a touch screen which is nice for certain styluses or software that requires touch support. The hinge allows the laptop to lay flat but does not rotate past 180 degrees for a foldable experience.
This laptop has most of the ports that I would like for an everyday laptop. These include two Thunderbolt 3 USB-C, one 3.2 USB-A, one HDMI 2.1, and one headphone jack. The only port missing that I like to have is an SD card reader. Some notable improvements to hardware include a physical webcam privacy slider and a Full HD IR webcam with AiSense that allows quick face login, background blur, automatic framing and eye-tracking. It is worth noting that the laptop charges via USB-C so if you want to use two USB-C devices at once, you will have to use battery power at that time.
Under the skin, this laptop is powered by an Intel Core Ultra 9 285H (Series 2) Processor with 32GB of DDR5X RAM and 1TB SSD storage. This hardware features CoPilot AI support out of the box and should be ready to support any future versions of software over the coming years. This is certainly something to consider anymore is how future proof laptops are and this one should last many years to come!
With active cooling on the side of the laptop, it helps to keep temperatures within reason under heavy usage but with thinner laptops, it is inevitable you will feel some heat. This occurs under charging and moderate/heavy usage. Performance was never an issue through everyday tasks such as web browsing, emails, or watching videos. Once you start using video editing software and rendering 4K videos with several layers or doing more than light/moderate gaming this is where you will start to see the performance or limitations of the hardware start to show given this processor doesn’t have a dedicated GPU. The great news is the myASUS software has several layers of customization for the fan speed profiles, performance profiles, and other settings to dial in this laptop for certain use cases.

Overall, this laptop has resolved most of my complaints with older versions. The OLED screen is a huge upgrade and the hardware should perform flawlessly for years to come. If you’re looking for a premium, compact laptop, I would add this one to the list.

Extreme value for its discounted price.
It's ultra-thin and very portable, amazing battery life, touch-screen, and an overall, compact powerhouse for doing work on the fly.

Perfect for my portable computer. Great size, light, easy to travel with... the blend of aluminum and ceramic seems strong enough to take the usual drops and bumps. Really quiet... pretty good battery life... impressive display.

The ASUS Zenbook 14 offers everything I was looking for in a Windows laptop. First, the size is ideal. The 14" screen size is perfect; a 13" screen is too small to read without scaling the display; A 17" screen is too bulky & heavy to tote around on a daily basis. Weighing only 2.82 pounds, it measures 12.3"W X 8.66" D X 0.59" H.
The display is a beautiful, high contrast OLED Touch Screen with 1920 X 1200 DPI (Full HD+). The colors in my photo collection really POP! with this amazing OLED display.
I chose this workhorse primarily because at its heart is the latest Intel Core Ultra 9 Series 2 processor with CoPilot AI support, impressive 32 gigabytes of RAM & 1000 gigabytes SSD. As these specs suggest, it performs complex engineering functions without hesitation.
A generous collection of USB ports include: 1 x USB-A 3.2, & 2 x USB-C 3.2. I connect a 32" external monitor on my desk at home using a USB-C port, while connecting the provided 65 Watt charger to another USB-C port.
Wi-Fi 7 provides the highest connection speed with my Wi-Fi 7 Mesh network; it is noticeably faster than my previous Wi-Fi 6 laptop. The charger can stay at home because battery life (up to 18 hrs) is so strong.
CONCLUSION:
ASUS Zenbook 14 ís my go-to Windows laptop; it is beautifully designed, top-performing & earns my highest recommendation.

I will be honest. At first, I was thinking about returning it because it got very hot while setting it up. I decided to continue and it didn't do it anymore. It works normally like any other laptop (I use it academically: research and essays) (not for gaming).
The pros:
Speed
Graphics
Dolby Atmos sound (I love it)
Touchscreen
Backlit keyboard
The cons:
No SD card slot
Only 1 USB port
14 inch screen
I recommend buying an adapter to read SD cards or a Thunderbolt Docking Station depending on your needs.
I recomended this!

I very much like my new PC. It’s quick and small and light. It has much more RAM than my old computer. And the Geek Squad did a good helping me set up!

My son started college this month alone we needed an upgrade to the iPad his high school required. I loved my Surface Pro but he loved the Asus. He liked the smaller but still touchscreen and lots of storage and speed. Great price as a deal and I used my rewards to have a deeper discount.

Bought at a good price excellent battery life, very light and portable User friendly for a computer novice like me colors and scree are vivid love it. Room for improvement: the keyboard could be a bit more sensitive, and the fan is loud.

I’ve been using the ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED for a few weeks now, and it’s honestly exceeded my expectations. First off, the OLED touch screen is stunning—colors pop, blacks are deep, and it’s a joy to use whether I’m editing photos or just watching Netflix. The 14" size hits a sweet spot: big enough to be immersive, but still super portable.
Performance-wise, this thing flies. The Intel Core Ultra 9 processor paired with 32GB RAM handles everything I throw at it—multiple Chrome tabs, Photoshop, and even some light gaming—without breaking a sweat. The 1TB SSD is fast and spacious, so I don’t have to worry about storage for a long time.
Battery life is solid, too. I’ve been getting close to a full workday on a single charge, and the fast USB-C charging is a lifesaver when I’m on the go. The build quality feels premium, and the Jasper Gray finish gives it a clean, modern look that stands out without being flashy.
A couple of small things I appreciate: the keyboard is comfortable and backlit, the touchpad is responsive, and the port selection is generous for such a slim laptop (Thunderbolt 4, HDMI, USB-A, etc.).
If you’re looking for a high-end ultraportable that doesn’t compromise on power or style, this Zenbook is a fantastic choice. ASUS really nailed the balance here.

This laptop is great. I purchased a gaming laptop with all the bells and whistles, but the battery life was absolutely terrible.
I found this alternative for half the price, and the battery lasts me 2-3 days. The performance is great, so is the display. The laptop can unlock with your face. So many features, not enough space to write them all.

This is a great computer. It is light, small enough to handle, but the keyboard is a great fit to my larger than average hands/fingers. It is very fast and the screen is a sharp as I've ever seen. I wanted a field unit for internet access, and photo processing. The graphics support PHOTOSHOP and LIGHTROOM with no problem. I was able to catch this on a pre-Christmas sale and am very pleased with the value and function.

"I can’t stop raving about this laptop—it’s honestly one of the best I’ve ever used. The OLED touchscreen is absolutely stunning; every time I open it up, the colors and clarity blow me away. Watching movies, editing photos, and even just browsing feel like a whole new experience. The design is sleek and premium, and it feels great to carry around. Honestly, it makes me want to use it more, which is a testament to its effectiveness. Sure, the battery life isn’t perfect. Best Buy does a fantastic job in general.

I looove this Laptop, I'm a little jaded because I'm a huge ASUS fan, but man this laptop is just awesome. Fast, light weight, OLED screen, and the specifications to exceed today's expectations. 10/10 easily.

This laptop is easy to use and easily portable because of the 14 inch screen. I truly appreciate the 1TB storage. My previous computer had only 132 GB, which was taken by Windows 11 software. I had to uninstall apps and insert an external drive with enough space to allow for Windows updates. This Asus with its 1TB puts my mind at ease. Not only does it have enough space for Windows 11, but I can actually save my work to the computer. Audio and video quality are amazing and the computer is user-friendly for someone who mostly does word processing and watches videos. I like the placement of the camera on top as opposed to the bottom of the screen like some computers have it. I also like how the mouse pad is centered rather than pushed to one side. The ratio of mouse pad size to keypad is comfortably proportionate. The only thing that will take some getting used to, is having to press another key to use the Home and End functions.

Got a great deal on this during Black Friday. It replaced an older Surface laptop. This computer doubles the RAM and hard drive space from the old laptop and it's fantastic! The OLED screen is also incredible. I love the thin borders. The only gripe I have is that it gets a bit loud sometimes but other than that, I highly recommend.
