Customer Ratings & Reviews

I thought so much to choose between Mac Book and Asus Zenbook. As a finance student, I would have to use excel and macbooks are not recommended. Give the price, I like that I get a lot of storage and better RAM. It is also light weighted and still a powerful laptop. The only downside is the camera. I expect a better quality when I joined the classes on Zoom. Except that, everything is working fine so far. I have it for a little over one month now.

Great computer. Windows 11 runs amazingly fast thanks to the 32gb of ram. My business applications run smoothly. Also the computer itself is not heavy. It is very portable, easy to move around with. The processor runs very fast and the battery life is great. The oled screen is really nice. A must buy especially for business enthusiasts.

TL;DR - This is a great choice for an ultraportable, light machine for all your work and play needs. The Ultra 9 chipset and new Copilot features pair nicely together. Just needs a matte screen and minor nitpick for the power adapter not having folding prongs. The Intel Ultra 9 chipset with Arc graphics is powerful enough for everyday use, including video streaming /playback and light duty gaming without slowing down. The Ultra 9 is capable for the occasional video edit, but this is certainly not a production workhorse. The included 32GB of RAM ensures even the most tab-obsessed browser will run smoothly and 1TB (954 GB available) of storage provides a lot of capacity for files and downloads. The chassis is light and easy to carry, and the greyish titanium color scheme is handsome and elegant. The lid features a built in physical camera shutter and the camera fully supports Windows Hello and the latest human-presence detection to make login and security a breeze. although I did experience a few occasions where the camera failed to detect my presence properly. The connectivity options include a good selection of one USB-A, two USB-C (with TB4 capability), and one full-size HDMI, along with a standard 3.5mm audio jack. Networking out of the box is limited to just WiFi, but at least it's the latest WiFi 7 standard - no WLAN/5G capability is available. My three issues with this machine and what kept it from getting a full 5 star rating (two are minor nitpicks) are, in order of importance to me: 1. The screen is limited to 60Hz and glossy. I'd prefer a matte option be available and 120Hz is really table stakes at this point in windows ultraportable premium laptops. 2. The underside of the laptop has two rubberized "stands" that run nearly the width of the laptop. Most laptops have smooth undersides, and the ridge that the legs creates can be uncomfortable and or make holding it harder. 3. The included US AC power adapter is a fixed plug on the wall wart brick - no folding prongs.

I’ve been using the ASUS Zenbook (UX3405CA) for a bit now, and it’s been a great experience overall. The build quality is excellent, lightweight, solid, and easy to carry around. The OLED display is a standout feature: bright, sharp, and great for both productivity and entertainment. Performance has been smooth across the board. With the Intel Ultra 9 and 32GB of RAM, it handles multitasking effortlessly, and it stays surprisingly cool during normal use. Battery life has also been solid, easily getting me through a full day of mixed tasks. USB‑C charging works perfectly with the included 65W charger. I even accidentally plugged in a lower‑power charger once, and the laptop handled it safely without any issues. It’s nice knowing it has built‑in protection for that. If I had one wish, it would be for a microSD slot, it would make photo transfers a little easier. But that’s a small tradeoff for everything else this laptop gets right. Overall, it’s a fast, premium, reliable machine that feels great to use every day.

Overall I am very pleased with this machine. If you want performance, gaming and top features at a small weight ASUS is the way to go. I have tried the asus 16" AMD ai 9 Vivobook s but this is the better machine. I love the screen quality, the 180 screen hinge, the CPU is incredibly fast, finally a cooler running machine, great for photo and video editing, and even gaming works well, plays all games acceptably. I was astonished how good the speakers sound and the amount of bass tones. Has an old usb plug and a webcam shutter which are awesome. There are a couple negatives, textured finish would be better it is easy to slip out of your hand and drop this, it is really optimized for a catastrophe with this frost-smooth finish, wrapping, enclosing is highly recommended. Runs a preinstalled software utility to give you grief and slow charging times unless your charger device was made by ASUS. you may uninstall it but then you cant change important settings and updates lacking. Premium low power ssd would have been nice, like sk gold, c'mon Asus you got this if you wanted.

The performance of this computer is at another level. What makes that power even more impressive is how lightweight it is, making it easy and comfortable to carry around. The OLED display is another highlight, with deep blacks that make everything look stunning. If you’re looking for a machine that combines serious performance with portability, this is an excellent choice.

This laptop is fast and lightweight, allowing multitasking and multiple tasks to function at the same time. 3 moths of usage, never shut down without notice, and the battery holds charge well. Best quality loptop I've had. I find my Excel shutting down after 60 tabs are created (an unusual number of tabs), or my Word document shutting down after 30 pages when multiple tabs are opened in Google Chrome simultaneously (a rare case). Overall it is great. I took it with me everywhere.

The ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED (UX3405) powered by Intel Core Ultra 9 is one of the most balanced laptops I’ve used in a long time. It’s lightweight, powerful, and built for today’s multitasking and AI-powered tasks without sacrificing portability or user experience. It was preloaded with Windows 11 Pro. What Stood Out Right Away • Intel Ultra 9 with Neural Processing Unit (NPU): I immediately noticed how quickly AI-enhanced tasks like summarizing documents, Copilot code prompts, and meeting transcriptions ran without any hiccups - they didn’t interrupt everything else I was working on. With the NPU handling AI in the background, I could keep Teams, Edge, Photoshop, and Excel open without feeling any performance dip. I loved that I could use Copilot to summarize meeting notes, action items, etc., during the Teams meeting without having to worry my Teams or any application crashing. The NPU does boost the battery life given how efficiently it handles various tasks without having to run the PC fan all the time. • OLED Display for all day work or for watching movies: I spend hours reviewing documents and jumping between dashboards — and this 14" 3K OLED 120Hz display makes a noticeable difference. The colors are vibrant, and the higher refresh rate makes scrolling feel smoother and more natural. The adaptive sync automatically adjusts the refresh rate for smooth visuals. After using this, my older displays feel sluggish. And with Dolby Atmos and ASUS Audio Booster, watching movies on this 3K OLED screen is actually fun. • Feels Light. Works Heavy. I travel a lot for work, and the 2.8 lb all-metal build meant I could toss it in my bag without thinking twice. The Zasper Gray finish gave it a premium look at an affordable cost. I used it for back-to-back meetings and content edits during a recent trip. I was able to charge it to 60% in under 50 minutes, which was super useful when you're constantly running between meetings and don’t want to carry the charger around all the time. What I think sets this Zenbook Itself Apart 1) Built for AI, Not Just Faster Apps I’ve used plenty of fast machines, but this is one of the first where AI is built into the workflow. The NPU offloads tasks like Studio Effects in Teams, Copilot commands, and smart app enhancements — freeing the CPU and saving battery. I didn’t need to change how I work, it just made everything feel smoother and more responsive. 2) OLED + 120Hz = Visual Comfort All Day Whether I’m reading long-form content, working in Power BI, or reviewing a video edit, the OLED panel with 120Hz makes a difference. It’s one of the first displays I’ve used that strikes a perfect balance between vibrant visuals and work-friendly brightness. After long sessions, I definitely felt less visual fatigue. 3) Hardware-First Premium Build with Thoughtful Upgrades Has great spec across the board • 2x Thunderbolt 4 ports for display, data, and charging • 75Wh battery that balances power with portability, supported by 65W USB-C fast charging • 32GB LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB Gen 4 SSD — a configuration you don’t often see this refined at under 3 lbs.

If you’re looking for a premium Copilot+ PC that’s built for real multitasking, AI-powered enhancements, and day-long usability in a travel-friendly form factor, this machine delivers across the board. This one feels like the most well-rounded, future-ready option in the premium ultrabook space. It’s built for how we work today and ready for what’s next

What a fantastic upgrade from the laptop I've been using the past 10 years. The screen is sharp, the keyboard is pretty quiet, and it's so slim and lightweight. I work from home so I have a million tabs open all the time and it does a great job at keeping up. It does get a little warm but in using the MyAsus app you can adjust the fan speeds to help with it. Best laptop I've ever purchased.

I recently purchased the ASUS UX3405CA in Jasper Gray, and it’s one of the best laptops I’ve used in this price range. Powered by the Intel Core Ultra 9 processor and a generous 32GB of RAM, this machine delivers incredibly fast performance. Whether I’m running multiple heavy applications, editing large files, or multitasking across browser tabs, everything runs smooth and lag-free. The laptop boots up in seconds, handles demanding tasks effortlessly, and stays cool and quiet even under pressure. It’s a productivity powerhouse that’s also perfect for creative or technical work. Visually, the Jasper Gray finish gives it a clean, professional, and modern look. The build quality is excellent, and it’s surprisingly lightweight, making it perfect for working on the go. At this competitive price point, you’re getting premium specs and performance that rival much more expensive models. I highly recommend this laptop for professionals, students, and anyone who needs speed, reliability, and style.

It’s a good deal for the ram and storage you’re getting. Strong cpu for websurfing and video streaming. Wouldn’t recommend any heavy games but some light stuff like marvel rivals or fornite runs alright. Primarily a work computer

Been using this laptop for about 2 weeks. Got it specifically for travel and ability to do a little bit of architecture work. It handles Autocad and sketch up enough to get things out the door. Battery has been such a plus on long flights. I’m not using the touchscreen much but it’s a nice feature. Overall it has performed as expected.

The laptop is super portable and you can play games on this I'll be it not natively. Utilizing NVIDIA Geforce Now with a stable internet connection you can enjoy some casual games just fine. Most importantly as to why I purchased this laptop. The battery life is REALLY good. In my use case, the laptop lasted 8 hours on battery while using google docs, watching youtube videos, and listening to music throughout a day. Definitely look into this laptop especially on sale. One small gripe I have would be the trackpad's gestures for adjusting the screen's brightness. I wish the trackpad would automatically not track if you are in the middle of typing. Sometimes while I'm typing, I slide my palm across the trackpad and it decreases the screen brightness or increases it. You can turn this gesture feature off in Asus' laptop settings though.

Great laptop, really good specs for a general use laptop. I'm using this for travel and it's a perfect lightweight, small laptop with a crisp OLED screen for watching shows/movies in planes/hotels/traveling. It has enough resources to do basic lightroom photo editing for preliminary picture reviews, but I have a dedicated desktop for any high level photo/video editing.

The laptop I bought has been an excellent choice so far. It’s incredibly fast, handling multitasking and demanding apps with ease. The display is stunning—bright, sharp, and perfect for both work and entertainment. The battery life is also impressive, lasting many hours without needing to recharge. Overall, a great device that feels powerful and reliable.

This Zenbook 14 exceeded my expectations. The OLED touchscreen is incredibly sharp and clear, making everything look amazing. The Intel Core Ultra 9 and 32GB of RAM make multitasking super smooth and no lag even with multiple programs open. The laptop is lightweight, well-built, and has a strongfeel. I also love the 1TB SSD, super fast and plenty of space. The Jasper Gray finish looks clean and professional. Overall, it’s a perfect mix of performance, design, and display quality. Highly recommend if you need a powerful everyday laptop that also looks great!

Your laptop is a sleek, lightweight modern machine with an Intel Core Ultra processor and Intel ARC graphics, ideal for daily use, programming, multitasking, and entertainment. It offers good performance, decent battery life, and a quality display. Not suitable for heavy gaming, but excellent for students and office work.

I have always liked HP products but this one is crisp, sharp and very smooth to use.battery life is excellent and the speed is great.

Sleek design, looks and feels solid. Keyboard and pad not as easy to use (for me) as my Dell Latitude. Can run a little hot. Display is gorgeous. Battery life impressive. Plenty ports. With the memory and storage I think I’ll be using this for quite some time. Disconnects and reconnects from my DisplayLink hub seamlessly once I figured out how to disable sleep on lid close. Drives three monitors, logi Bluetooth keyboard and mice, running win 11 with m365.

Great laptop for my son's Freshman year at college. Fast, easy to carry in a backpack, good amount of storage and a good buy for school . ( Apparently good for gaming with friends too!)
