I have a 2021 version of this and it is still a really good computer. I use it in media mode often with a wireless keyboard/mouse. The pen for it works very well too. I don’t use it often but it is convenient when I do. I have a fingerprint reader instead of the touchpad number pad so logging in is super convenient

Nice this is what we called review. Details by details. Im aiming for this laptop/tablet for my work esp. In presentation. Thank you. It was nice

[@notlocalhorst]

I can only recommend to look at a laptop with a grey/silver keyboard with light markings in real life. I have one laptop with a similar colored keyboard and it does not work at all for me. Never ever again. Without the backlight it is nearly useless and it has a quite short turn off time so it is not fun and turning on/off all the time. Usually I don't use backlight at all on a "normal" keyboard. Thanks for mentioning this in the review.

[@Techtablets]

I'm just not a big fan of the silver key caps in general it makes it harder to see the keys. That's why I would opt for the grey/black version.

I am going to buy this one within a week. My important requirement is that it should be a 14inch thin and light and I find this as the suitable one. Is it still relevant in 2024? Can I buy it? Or should I look for new Zenbook models??

It’s still good but now there are newer better models.

Would you recommend this or the 13.3" Vivobook Flip OLED? The Vivobook has better specs but the Zenbook is said to be more durable (the hinge, for example)

[@Techtablets]

Hard to say since I haven't tested the 13.3 Vivobook Flip. But this model is very nice.

[@davoodm5471]

Great Review. Thanks!

[@Cybertron667]

Isn't the screen a 16:10 aspect ratio ? And in the video alone I see a LOT of graininess coming of the OLED panel!! Is it like graniness on the yoga 9i 2.8k 90hz oled screen ? As there it is the touch screen matrix which causes the graininess!!! And that is very annoying on white, grey and light blue windows/objects :(

[@fantasytky28]

This stopped me from buying the 2022 Asus model. Went for ips LG gram due to the nets was so noticeable at least for me

[@Cybertron667]

Sorry but Asus OLED touch display is shitty. The digitizer or what dots/web patterns on the display ruin it, whatever 2k 4k 8k does not matter when you have the digitizer pattern that is so obvious and make the display looks 480p especially in white Dealbreaker, 2022 version has it, not sure if it get resolved in 2023 ver

[@sahil5262]

back where airvents r if u press just below it , due to gaps it make click sound

[@intruder313]

I've been looking hard at the previous model and while I can see various improvements here (CPU, DDR5 and Dolby Atmos) it looks like the silver colouring does not help with the visibility of the keys and especially the NumberPad! Previous model was black. I also am not sure about the missing row of dedicated keys (Home to End etc). Edit: just look at Asus and found it still comes in black or silver. Phew.

[@Techtablets]

Oh lucky it still comes wit the black keys!

[@avinashrai11141]

Does this laptop has annoying touch patter on display?

[@lextr3110]

is it plague with the nasty atrocious moire pattern because of touch layer (aka screen door effect)

[@fantasytky28]

I think it still has it. In this video, already able to notice the nets. It is a dealbreaker that stopped me from buying Asus OLED flip one week ago. I'm surprised most reviewers don't mention about it as it looks so so obvious to me in real life, the display looks 480p alike in whites due to this nets

[@Techtablets]

You really don't see it as bad as it looked in my video. For some reason it looks bad there. Only with certain lights on the screen and at a certain angle. I don't find it a deal breaker and if you look for it you'll see it and any touchscreen has it.

[@fantasytky28]

@@Techtablets if it is the same as previous model which is less than half year ago. Then it LOOKS really bad. Seen it in person one week ago and stopped me from buying it since it make the screen looks 480/720p in whites. I really don't know how people can stand it since it is so noticeable in white, if people can ignore it, then 720p is already enough for them.

[@Techtablets]

I'm quite fussy with my displays and I don't find it a deal breaker. Sure if you go looking for it and at certain angles you'll see it. I didn't review the 2022 model so I can't say. But if it's as bad as you say then this must be much better.

[@michaelprontojordan]

Deciding between the AMD variant and the Intel one. I think the AMD variant, whilst performs much better, is capped at 512gb SSD, no thunderbolt support and no windows 11! Can anyone lend their perspective and help me decide which one to go with?

[@intruder313]

There is no AMD variant yet so I suspect you are looking at a previous year's model. This one is UP3404, before it came UN5401 which came with an AMD Ryzen 5800H and no Thunderbolts

[@DSS553]

Wait, what happened? I made a comment pointing out (snarkily) that you said it can be opened with one hand, but then you used two. I also pointed out that OLED shouldn't be used as monitors because of the inherent risk of burn in. But the comment vanished. What happened Chris?

[@Techtablets]

I haven't removed any comments must have been KZbin comment filtering? I've used my LG CX for 2 years as a monitor and use it 9 hours a day no burn in yet. Pixel shifting and hiding the taskbar helps.

[@Techtablets]

Very strange I don't see it in held comments.

[@DSS553]

@@Techtablets Pixel shift helped for a while on mine, but only a little. I think there's a big difference between using an OLED as a TV and as a monitor. Monitors have a plethora of static elements that you can't always get rid of, on top of that you often have white screen with text, which kills OLED screens. My LG OLED lasted 6 months before i saw the first signs of burn in. The same with Linus from LTT, and Wendell from Level1Techs also got burn in on his CX after 6 months. Some see it, some don't, but using an OLED as a monitor is asking for it.

[@Techtablets]

I'm sure I'm asking for it. I have also my screen saver set for blank after 1 minute. This is a must and why I still have no burn in. Yes I just checked it again for any signs around the Windows menu. But I auto hide menu.

[@rubenpfleger4221]

[@fantasytky28]

​​@@Techtablets nope. Asus Digitizer net is very noticeable and very obvious, switch the theme to white or open a internet browser in white. Totally dealbreaker and I'm shocked that people even approve this nets display. It's so bad that 2k or 4k does not matter as it already ruin the display. Totally dealbreaker for many people, at least it stopped me from buying Asus 14 OLED flip 2weeks ago and went for lg gram ips 2 in 1. Lol

@@harynian either your eyesight have problem or too used to watching 470p or just can't bother about imperfection, else the net pattern is fking obvious at 7:16 especially the white colour on the cat. Aay whatever you want, it is as bad It's like there are people who just can't differentiate/annoyed by the difference between 60hz and 120hz screen. Showed/pointed out the net pattern on person on the actual laptop to some people and they can't seem to notice/bother about it. But to many others that I showed, it's fking obvious and dealbreaker even to them In this case, the net pattern is like using 30hz screen display to us that cares about the display and this looks very bad to us
