Zenbook 14 OLED,Intel Core Ultra 5 125H,Thin & Light(Intel Arc iGPU/16GB RAM/1TB SSD/3K OLED Touch screen/14/120Hz/Backlit Keyboard/Windows 11/Office 2021/Ponder Blue/1.28 kg) UX3405MA-PZ552WS

Reviewing after initial assessment. Overall its superb. Build quality = 9/10 Performance = 9.5/10 Weight = 10/10 Sound quality = 9/10 Battery life = 9.5/10 Value for money = 9.25/10 Will update after couples of months

The best your money could buy the 125H is a very fast processor thermal throttling is less compared to 155h and has great battery life.. 4-5hours on gaming 9hours only browsing 7hours on Jawa 125 h ultra5 is the best

Product is good but SD or MSD card reader not inbuilt

I bought this laptop recently but I am not quite happy with it. Prior to this laptop, I had MacBook Pro 2015 with Intel Core i5 which lasted so many years. It was a fantastic laptop, fast, stunning battery and built like a tank but unfortunately died recently and it could not be repaired due to unavailability of parts. I had to switch from MacBook just because these days with M series chip Windows cannot be run (not a fan of VMs) which was not the case with Intel Chips that Apple used earlier. I needed a laptop with small screen size, good battery backup, decent processing power and sturdy metal body and preferably non Chinese brand. Asus Zenbook 14 did tick everything on the paper but after using it for few days, I find it’s not as good. The battery isn’t that great, the lid cannot be opened with one hand, it’s almost an empty laptop still I find it’s slower than 2015 MacBook. Excel takes 2-3 seconds to open which otherwise used to open almost instantly on MBP. I am not sure if it’s the laptop or the OS, touchpad is ok but not at par with MBP and it's made in China. Overall not very satisfied. I guess MacBook Air is still a better bet even with VM.

I am writing this review after using the Asus Zenbook 14 OLED Ultra 5, for almost two months! Here are some opinions that I feel might help others trying to choose the right laptop for your needs! 1. The biggest advantage and comfort of this laptop has been it's unmatched battery backup! Being a researcher, I usually use a lot of powerpoint and word, along with a data analysis softwares. Sometimes I use them the for almost 15hrs straight, and it never occured that I had to keep it on charge or charge the laptop multiple times. One charge to 100% is enough to keep you going for atleast 15-18hrs, which is so relieving! 2. The second biggest tick, is the screen quality, the colors are vibrant and the display is super clear, which comes in to handy in keeping you hinged to the laptop. The blue light filter works really good demanding very few instances of wanting to take a break! 3. The other feature that comes in handy is the sufficient storage capacity and speed of the processor! You could experience the perks of either of these features on regular usage of the laptop. 4. The weight of the laptop, at 1.2Kgs is a relishing takeaway, as it's easy to carry around and work on the go, if needed! 5. The only concern is the laptop retains a lot of fingerprint on its screen and surface, which requires you to clean the laptop frequently, almost twice a day! 6. The second concern is the camera, the quality gets a little dim., at times. However, once you clean the area of the camera, it does get a little better. 7. Another concern that's worth noting is, there's only a single USB socket in the laptop, when you connect the USB of your mouse, you cannot plug in the pendrive, unless it has a type C feature in it! Two USB sockets could be good! If I had to rate it based on my experience, I would say, it's totally worth the buy, as there is nothing much to regret but definitely a lot to relish about! Personally, I would give it an 8/10.
