Display, Design and Build Quality
It’s not every day you get a premium laptop offering cutting-edge technology with a perfect blend of power, design, and efficiency. The visually appealing Asus Zenbook A14 UX3407 with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite platform and an OLED display, is designed to meet the needs of professionals and enthusiasts who demand both performance and aesthetics.
Asus Zenbook A14 incorporates the new Ceraluminum™ into the laptop lid, keyboard frame, and base, to give it an ultra-lightweight design without compromising strength or performance. Ceraluminum™ is tested for scratch resistance, shock resistance, and wear ensuring it is scratch-free, resilient to shocks, and maintains its pristine looks, providing users with a laptop that is both lightweight and exceptionally durable.
The Zenbook A14 is available in two sophisticated colors: Iceland Gray and Zabriskie Beige. We have the Iceland Gray version.
At 980g and with dimensions of 31.07 x 21.39 x 1.34~1.59 cm, this laptop is so light that it feels like you are carrying around a feather yet so powerful a machine in one’s hands. It strikes an ideal balance between portability and functionality and it’s sleek, lightweight, and durable for all-round and on-the-go use. The four-sided NanoEdge display pushes the screen-to-body ratio to 90%, ensuring a nearly borderless viewing experience. We used it for working, gaming, and watching, and loved it.
The Zenbook’s 14” 16:10 OLED display comes with a 1920×1200 resolution with 600-nits peak brightness and 100% DCI-P3 color accuracy and a user will see real-life colors. Asus adds a bonus of DisplayHDR™ 600 True Black for deep black colours and contrasts giving media editors and consumers a great tool in the market.
Performance: Power-Packed Internals
Under the hood, this laptop packs a punch with the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite (45W) or Snapdragon X (28W), offering excellent power efficiency while delivering high-end performance. Paired with the Adreno GPU and the Qualcomm Hexagon NPU with 45 TOPS, it handles multitasking, AI workloads, and graphics-intensive applications with ease. From creative tasks like video editing to demanding software, the processing power here won’t disappoint.
The Snapdragon® X series features a 4nm System-on-a-Chip architecture with up to 12-core Qualcomm Oryon™ CPU for demanding workloads and speedy responsiveness. The integrated Qualcomm® Adreno™ GPU delivers stunning graphics for immersive entertainment. The Snapdragon X series supports this supercharged performance with low power consumption for up to multi-day battery life on a single charge.
Memory options go up to 32 GB of LPDDR5X RAM, ensuring smooth performance even during heavy multitasking or resource-intensive applications. When it comes to storage, the laptop offers up to 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, which guarantees quick read and write speeds, reducing load times and enhancing overall system responsiveness.
The laptop’s onboard memory allows for a thinner and lighter chassis, and it still provides up to 32 GB capacity and fast 8533 MHz LPDDR5X clock speeds to provide plenty of processing power.
Camera and Audio: Ready for Work and Play
The ASUS AI camera with FHD 3DNR IR ensures excellent video quality even in less-than-ideal lighting conditions, making it perfect for virtual meetings. The built-in array microphone and Dolby Atmos® sound system further enhance the experience, delivering clear audio during calls and an immersive sound experience for entertainment.
Connectivity: Cutting-Edge Features
For connectivity, the laptop comes with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, ensuring lightning-fast internet and seamless device pairing. There’s no shortage of I/O options, with 2 x USB4 Type-C (with full-range charging), 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, HDMI 2.1, and a 3.5mm audio jack. These ports cover all your needs for data transfer, external displays, and audio peripherals. The two USB4 ports support up to 40 Gbps data bandwidth each and can be used for external 4K display, storage devices, or expand connections.
Battery Life: All-Day Performance
The laptop’s 70 Wh lithium-polymer battery is a beast. One can work for hours on end without worrying about charging. For the 8 hours we were at a conference and the 2 extra hours after the conference we didn’t need to plug it in. The fast-charging AC adapter (65W/90W) ensures you can quickly top up when needed, making this laptop suitable for those who are constantly on the move.
ASUS Copilot+ PC
The ASUS Copilot+ PC is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon X processor which is capable of delivering an impressive 45 TOPS (trillion operations per second) of NPU performance, great for AI. Copilot+ AI features of Windows 11 24H2 include Copilot in Windows, Live Captions, Recall, Cocreator, Generative Fill and Erase in Paint, Click to Do, Restyle Image, Image Creator, Super-resolution in Photos, Windows Studio Effects V2, and Improved Windows Search.
Our Take
Overall, this is a great laptop for performance, portability, and design. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite platform and Adreno GPU handle just about anything and offer excellent battery life and connectivity options. The vibrant OLED display and Dolby Atmos® audio round off an excellent multimedia experience. We loved it for games, work, and multimedia entertainment. With a sleek design and future-proof features, it’s a top contender for anyone looking for a high-end, portable machine and we gave it a 9/10 due to the lack of touch or input design.
