ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED with Intel Core Ultra 7: What worked (and what didn't)
ฝัง

- When I first got the ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED, I thought I was working with a good laptop with a great OLED screen. What I discovered instead was something that feels like a paradigm shift in laptops, thanks to the new Intel 14th Gen Meteor Lake chips! Thanks to the Intel Core Ultra 7 in this ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED, I feel like we're at the beginnings of an exciting new era in notebooks.

Incredible review, thanks!
I legit get scared when you look at the camera at 3:21 i looked at the tab and then timing looking back and you looked at me lol
Good review!
Josh, man I started watching to learn something about what you're covering, and then noticed halfway through after the initial stuff is covered, that I'm sitting back sipping my Coffee and enjoying this like I'm watching a movie... Your Zen tea/coffee break vibe has absolutely permeated into these new videos. After watching tech videos you sometimes feel a bit tired from all the pros/cons and millions of graphs, but not even close here. Can't wait to tune into the next one! Hope you and everyone in the comments had a great Christmas 🙂
I just got the 14x model over the 14 for Christmas! I wish you covered the 14x but I'm happy you covered this lineup regardless!
i am also looking at getting a zenbook. Curious what made you go for the 14x over the 14?
@@LearningAndGrowingInLife I also got the 14X over the 14. Faster CPU, bigger and faster display, which would help in coding.

What he covered is the 2024 version that just came out, which is better than the 14X from 2023.

not so much for gaming.
@@mariuspuiu9555 i feel you bruv but you can't buy this with gaming in mind... sorry... i have a monster rig at home and my gaming on the go will mostly be games run at 900p with shadows mostly off because i can't see that much detail in 14 inch anyway ... gaming is intel's part with the arc drivers and they're barely on par with the 780m which is a rebranded 680m from a while ago // if you really wanna game on an ultrabook, there are options with a 4060 out there, they just cost double to begin with and the battery is just bad because ultrabooks don't yet have a mux switch or a smart AI to switch between gpu's like the gaming laptops have :)

Hi, have you gotten the laptop? Could you share your experience? I’m thinking of getting this one for my work and study as well as some light gaming.
Hey! What browser do you use? Looks cool and I'm in the search for a new one
Is this review before or after the BIOS update that came out a couple days ago? That apparently addressed some voltage/heat/performance issues.

We watching Journey Across Japan with this one
Edit: just to add another oddball thing, retail reviews don't have the numpad on the trackpads, and I can confirm mine didn't as well. There was additionally a screen door effect on whites, probably due to the digitizer.
I bought one of these and it was absolutely beautiful but died the same day I got it. Blue screened every 20 minutes then that time slowly went down till it blue screened every 60 seconds after turning on. I agree the keyboard is really good.
The retail version also comes with a pen which I think is interesting as I didn't see reviewers mention it when I watched a few before hand.
I'm hoping it was a fluke since these chips are so new, I just returned it and am contemplating re-buying it. I think either way I'll wait to see the silver available, my blue was covered in fingerprints just after a day. Wonderful device but I think I lost the hardware lottery.
I recommend a brief hiatus before jumping into this new chip. I suspect after 1-2 months, bugs and optimisation will give a fairer reflection on its standing. Maybe the price will also fall?
@@andyH_England totally agree, when I went to show it at the return counter it was blue screening before we could even attempt to set up Windows as I had reset it
Finally! I was looking for other people having the same experience. I was caught in bluescreen loop out of box! I call asus and they replaced without even trying to troubleshoot. I think they know about the bugs hence the unavailability everywhere (including on their website).
Amazon still had some stock that is how I managed to buy one. Too bad... The specs are exactly what I'm looking for.
Thnaks for your comment @joseph17137
@@markoomg In a way it ended up being a blessing for me, as I moved on to another laptop without the blurriness on whites or fingerprints getting all over it.

Intel is entering into the same issue Apple had when the switched to Apple silicon SOC to take full advantage of it software has to be optimized and almost 3 years later a lot of mainstream apps still only maybe utilize 50-50% of what the hardware is capable of

2:44 Joshua what specific model did you receive?
I was looking for it on the Asus website, but the only model of the new generation that is available right now is the UX3405, and it apparently doesn't have the number pad on the touchpad...
At least it is what some staff members from Asus live chat told me when I ask for information... Also, I've already seen some people complaining on reviews about this.
At 0:43 you can actually see model number, although it is slightly blurred. It is the UX3405!

I bought model UX3405MA-BS71T-CB a month ago, and I hate it. I use it for basic office work and it freezes so many times, I still have three days to return it but I don't know what to buy instead, I don't even know if the problem is in the laptop or the network, knowing that I used the zenbook 7i before this and did not face such issues. I can not believe how many times I need to wait to web pages or excel sheets to work. Not to mention that it turns into fire if I am working and charging at the same time. I really don't know what to do.
What mouse do you rock in the vid
As a left-hander, I prefer the USBCs being on the right 😊
I am using macbook pro, thought mac for me probably more productive, maybe?, but I like this ASUS sooooo much.
So when are these comming out? Can't find any data for it for The Netherlands in specific
Soon. In the Czech Republic they are expected to arrive on the shelves at the end of January.
Exchanged twice. The bottom panels were not flushed. The last one had a buzzing sound.
Did he just say 3 to 5 hours on low settings? I’ve exited the video at that point.
it actually gets way more than that
Hi! I'm between two options: this one and the HP Pavilion Plus 14 (2023). I'd use it for photo and light video editing (it's more of a hobby). And I would like to install The Sims game (in case I feel like playing from time to time). Which one would you recommend? Thanks!

Are you writting this on every review? Just sell it or return it and buy a macbook air.
No matter how much people hype these new intel CPUs they often fall short with usage and power consumption, especially at this price point.
For charging, all laptops get warm if you are working and charging honestly.
I would recommend a MacBook Air (M1, M2, or M3 depending on your budget).
OR
If you want something similar to the one in the video or a windows laptop, buy an ASUS OLED UM325 just make sure you are getting an AMD and not an intel chipset (AMD chipsets usually perform better and consume less power than intel). The model I mentioned isn't the easiest to find since it's 2 years old and AMD laptops are less in supply in the market but if you find one, buy it it's worth it. The only downgrades from the laptop in the video would be that it's a slightly smaller 13 inch, it's FHD 1080P rather than 1200P, and 60hz BUT you get a more portable device, less laggy performance, nice OLED screen and WAY better battery life (close to 10 hours which is almost DOUBLE the one in the video).
@@Blackbeard914 thanks for the detailed answer. I ended up buying a mac but it was so hard to switch so i had to return it and keep my recent laptop lol.. i have to live with it..
@@selena.996 understandable. I was going to buy a mac but honestly I can’t let windows go too 😅 the M1 refurbished laptops are relatively cheap here
Have you experienced tiny electric shock at the metal casing especially on upper part of the keyboard when plugged in?
Does the oled screen have the dirty screen or pixelated effect due to the touchscreen layer?
Mine did on whites specifically. Wasn't visible as much on other colors.
What is this issue?
Iris XE is 2x faster than UHD 770, and apparently the new iGPU in the 14th gen chips are 2x faster than Iris XE. That is incredible! I would pay extra to get that on a desktop chip. Sure I'll use a GPU but if that GPU fails I don't have to go out and buy something like a GTX 1630 in one night to get a project done
why on earth would you buy a gtx 1630? did you post this comment in 2017?
@@SuperRomanHoliday I said that I DONT have to buy a GTX 1630. Also, my wish has been fulfilled. The new AMD iGPUS on the 8000G series is even more powerful than the Arc iGPUS for Meteor Lake. In some games the new AMD iGPUS can reach GTX 1650 speeds, which is an incredible leap forward for iGPU technology

Why don't you turn on the heating in your room?
Do you know anything about the ASUS ROG Flow Z13/14 series 2024?
I'm slightly confused by the Zenbook 14 variants. There are OLED vs non OLED. Then there is the Q425 Jasper Grey vs UX3405 Ponder blue. It seems like there is a UX3402 but without the Core Ultra 7 CPU and Intel ARC with the older 11th gen i7 with Iris. So I take that you have the UX3405 which has the top of the line with windows 11 pro, stylus, sleeve, USB adaptor, where as the Q425MA-U71TB does not have the fancy external line designs, no fancy touchpad with the keypad, window 11 home, 16GB ram but with the powerhouse of the Core Ultra 7, Intel Arc. and that's it. It's confusing to say the least, where there is a UX3402 non-ultra 7 out there at best buy right now. Anyways, great review here.
UX3402: 2023 w/ 13th gen intel P
UX3404: 2023 14.5 inch variant w/ 13th gen intel H
UX3405: 2024 w/ meteor lake H + 3k screen
Q425: 2024 w/ meteor lake H + FHD only screen
UM3406: 2024 w/ ryzen 8000 HS + FHD only screen
How much RAM does the Intel Arc iGPU use maximally? Intel Irix X was reported to use up to 2Gb RAM, I haven´t seen any numbers for Intel Arc.
What's the difference between the Zenbook 14 UX3402VA-KM209W and UX3402VA-KM005W?
and what about UX3405MA-QD752WS
I considered to grab this one, but MSI Creator z16 seems a better choice for me.
Would the graphics compare with the ryzen version?
Has anyone experienced tiny electric shock at the metal casing especially on upper part of the keyboard when plugged in?
Nice video. What's the sku on your model? I have what I thought was this exact laptop (UX3405, 90NB11R3-M00JP0), but it doesn't have the light-up number pad. Not that I really need it or anything, but I'm surprised they offer two different models with the same CPU/ram/screen configuration with just this one difference.
I was wondering about this too
@@Bsaefong still haven't figured it out, myself.
Does the zenbook come with the same specifications (ultra 7 155h) but without the touchscreen??. Please shed some light
@@mohit5165 I'm not sure. Asus released a few different versions of the Zenbook with 155H. The one I have (UX3405) has a 2880 x 1800 OLED touch screen with up to 120hz and optional variable refresh rate. I recently found out they have another sku under Q425MA that has a WUXGA screen at 60hz. That's also a touch screen. There could be regional skus out there as well, so I can't really say.
That said, I mentioned that second sku because it is currently selling for $1,049.99, which is like $300 (Q425MA) less than the one I bought. Same chip set, but 16gigs of ram (half of what I got). Most of the other specs appear to be the same, but there's a slightly different exterior finish. Thing is, the touch screen really isn't going to affect how you use it. I never use touch with my laptop, but I suppose it's a good option just in case. It really isn't going to impact the price point all that much either. So I really wouldn't go out of my way to avoid it.
WUXGA might actually make more sense on at 14" laptop. For one, you'll almost never hit 2880 x 1800 for games with this laptop. I'm always reducing resolution down to WUXGA or 1080p anyway, so having that as native might have been better on the gaming front. Plus, you'd end up saving more battery power in normal use. That 2880 x 1800 is great for video though. But 16gigs, which is adequate for just CPU use, it not really great for the 155H with Arc graphics. It limits the amount ARC can allocate for dedicated use.
@@mohit5165 Depends on the SKU. UX3405 that I bought has 155H Core Ultra 7 and 2880x1800 120hz touch screen and an active stylus. But there is apparently a 1080p SKU out there for $300 less.
Can this edit 4k video?
Why doesnt mine have the line design on the front cover?

Hey Josh, I was watching the review and doubting whether I should purchase this and try out the new Meteor Lake Processors (I am more of an AMD guy) but your browser caught my attention mid-way through, Can you tell me what browser it is? as it looks clean and I am really tired of using of Edge as my primary browser.
Difficult for me to see on my screen, but it looks a bit like the Arc Browser. Which is popular among tech guys at the moment.

Truly incredible review! Really getting to like this laptop. I was wondering whether it has freesync (or similar) functionality. Also curious whether it can run rocket league on 120hz on 2k or even 3k resolution. Could you maybe share your thoughts on this? Thanks!
Judging that it can run Baldur's Gate 3 which is more demanding, Rocket League will probably also run fine
@@GuyIncognit thanks!
very similar to the Zenbook Duo.
I watched all the the videos here in yt regarding this laptop.
Some of them doesn't have a number pad in the touch pad.
Why? Confusing..
Since I've moved from Windows to Macbook air m1, I do not accept anymore batteries below 8h in laptops. And I say this with full intention of going back to Windows at some point...
5h was with heavy worlflow. General productivity use shall give you 10hrs
@@vedkapur1 he said in the video that he was using low power settings and got a MAX of 6 hours, that's not heavy workflow buddy. very few windows laptops consistently last 10 hours.

And why not go in bios and make lower heat.. My other big pc had 100 degrees celsius on 5 cores when i played games and now i get highest 85 degrees celsius with hard gaming and boosted more power to gpu and prossesor.i got help to do that its not easy for normal people
I bet the Ultra9 will appear on 15 inch
confused between: asus zenbook 14 vs lenovo Yoga Pro 7i vs xps 14. which one better?
Dell not good
Wait... Did you say 3-4 hours battery life? I was thinking this was a battery beast to compete with Apple Silicon? I am watching this on my 2021 M1 MBP, which I run hard all day and after 12 + hours I have plenty of power left without ever looking, thinking, or worrying about a thing. I was super excited for this new generation. Maybe a step in the right direction, but looks like amazing hardware on a Windows machine may still be a few years out. :( Love love love Windows. The hardware? Not so much.... :(
Good to know that the unplugged performance loss has improved, but not quite enough for me to get super excited just yet. I am so waiting for something Windows to compete with even the first generation Apple Silicon! For now, patience.
How come my Macbook Pro M1 Pro 2021 14 inch can only runs for 7 - 8h max everytime and everyone else are praising their m1 mb? xD I really thought i can squeeze 1 work day out of it but have never been able to xD I only use web browsers and some light photo editing.
@@liuliukiu Probably the difference in the 14 vs my 16. The 16 just seems to be the perfect machine for me in terms of the power vs battery life / efficiency. Also I think any editing can be a little more taxing than traditional business use. Now, I will say, for me, add in zoom or teams calls, and that battery is going to suffer.

@@HDRPC In fairness, Ultra 7 / Ultra 9 are a new development and YES! I am very excited about this chipset! Not widely available yet and I do not trust PC makers battery claims at all, as my usage is typically about 25% of advertised battery life across all pc manufacturers. I have had to stay away from AMD machines, as my laptop setup has been connecting to either Apple Studio display or LG 5k Ultrafine 27", so have to have Thunderbolt. BUT..... game changer... I am typing this on my newly purchased Samsung - 57" Odyssey Neo G9 Dual 4K UHD monitor! So... if I keep this one the Intel thing is not mandatory. Still on the fence on it as I am just now testing it out and trying to get 120hz or hopefully 240 hz from my Galaxybook3 Ultra. Not sure it is possible but just getting started.

Intel laptops BATTERY life is as good as MacBook M2/M3 even though Intel is using Tiles/Chiplet.
Impressive🤯

At 5:48 you say you easily got 3 to 4 hours from battery. That's not impressive and that's not long. I am shocked that you said that. Other reviewers are getting 9+ hours easily.
The US model appears to not have a numpad. It doesn’t bother me, but the marketing material for the international unit features the numpad and confused US customers that got it and were disappointed.
Oh and Windows Copilot goes to the Microsoft servers if I recall correctly. I don’t have one to test. Try disabling Wi-Fi and see if it still works. Apologies if I’m wrong.
I like where this is going having used Intel Arc A770 desktop GPU for a year.
Good review! Would point out, though, that all of the big novelties mentioned were already present in recent AMD chips: faster NPU, Meteor Lake's Arc just matches AMD's iGPU, performance unplugged was not that lower, battery life is still state of the art for Windows laptops. Since Meteor Lake is basically catching up to AMD's 7040 series, I think it's very likely that AMD 8040 will beat it handily. That said, there is probably one area where Intel will win: video editing, as AMD does not yet include a media engine as powerful as Intel's.
The only biggest area where Intel win is: Availability
8040 is literally the same as the 7040 but with better ai 😂. AMD fanboys I swear
@@IWASTEDMYTIME: AMD could take a year off, knowing the best Intel could do was catch up! Intel fans are so...
would be true if amd 7040 was available
@@andyH_England Sure if they want to be complacent, but they won’t hold that lead if Strix point is another paper launch like Phoenix.
Definitely I wait for AMD procesor, battery is bad and 100dg is joke
all zenbook series has fan issue after 3 month will lose the fans it use cheap fans.
Is a failed design. I had 2 of those both overheats around 95c by just browsing. Bios updated and drives and it's quite noticeable on the keyboard how hot it is. Not recommended
you owned 2024 zenbook?
LOL "overheats" by running some 15 degrees below its max.
It's adorable watching people who don't understand how opportunistic boost works make comments.

just one question
does it heat Much which makes it uncomfortable in daily work
like browsing copy pasting or streaming a movie etc while.in lap???
3-4 hrs is not impressive I need at least 6 hrs a day of battery power.
Third. Great GPU but CPU performance is disappointing
I'll take that dramatic GPU performance increase over the CPU. That's just for my needs though. Currently CPUs are far more capable than anything I need to do for work (heavy excel, minor coding).
@@justinmadison513@justinmadison513 This is an ultrabook, so the disappointing CPU is okay. Of course, for fairness, when the M3 only got 10-20% CPU upgrades, they got a lot of trolls flexing how bad that was, so maybe Intel deserves some gibe?
New bios takes the cpu performance above base macbook m3 cpu.
@@marioivar2788 still while using much more power so moot point
"Hardware Canucks" preproduction unit review of Zenbook 14 with ULTRA 7 155H. It is the FASTEST video editing machine even ar 25 Watt total SoC power limit and way better than any AMD 4nm/5nm APU.
are you an AI? In what world is 3-4 hours good battery?
MacBook air M1 will give much better performance than this that too without any noise and heat, and not to forget the build quality of MacBooks. Used ThinkPads are much better than any windows laptop even today.
