Home Brand View Performance powerhouse: The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED is ideal for professionals on the go This laptop should be a top choice for executives and creators as it outpaces its competitors on most fronts by GULF BUSINESS July 20, 2023 Image: ASUS/Supplied This sleek-and-light ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED laptop grabs your attention from the moment you unbox it. With a new ceramic-like finish lid in ‘sandstone beige’, it gives users something not seen before in the notebook/laptop segment. But do not underestimate its performance by the size. And it is powered by one of the latest 13th Gen Intel Core H-Series CPUs and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 graphics combined with 1TB of fast PCIe 4 SSD storage, setting it up for any and every task you can throw at it. The bigger 14.5-inch OLED NanoEdge display with a 120Hz refresh rate delivers one of the best viewing experiences in its class. All this is packed into a 1.5kg body that is comfortable to carry wherever you go. Zenbook 14X OLED delivers more — in every way. Here’s a quick look at ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED in detail Design The ASUS Zenbook 14x OLED is equipped with several features that make it stand out in the market. At 16.9mm in thickness and 1.5kg thin, the Zenbook offers an array of features packed into a comfortable and ergonomically designed body. The sandstone beige version of the Zenbook 14X has great visual appeal, offering a coating not seen on a laptop lid before. The lid features a plasma ceramic veneer, which gives the aluminium lid a ‘look and feel’ reminiscent of ceramic tiles – it’s both textured and solid. Scuffs and fingerprints also don’t show up on the lid. The coating avoids the use of halogens; Asus says it generates lower emissions than other manufacturing processes for devices. It is MIL-STD-810H certified which means that you are being guaranteed with a solid build quality and to withstand the rigors of everyday use. Display The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED (UX3404) features a 14-inch OLED display with a 2880×1800 resolution, a 16:10 aspect ratio with 120Hz refresh rate and 0.2ms pixel response time, resulting in viewing experiences that are life-like, smooth and responsive. The OLED display offers exceptional colour accuracy and vibrancy as it renders 100 per cent of the sRGB gamut. Along with an ultra-wide colour gamut of 100 per cent DCI-P3 and HDR content support, the display is also certified up to VESA DisplayHDR 600 True Black. It is ‘Pantone Validated’, assuring accurate colour and high dynamic contrast. That means that creators can feel comfortable in a wide variety of projects with their colour developments.

It is also certified by TÜV Rhineland, ensuring that the device meets rigorous safety and quality standards. Performance, connectivity, and beyond The ASUS Zenbook S 13 OLED is a performance powerhouse that delivers uncompromising best-in-class performance despite its thin and light chassis. Available with up to 13th Generation Intel Core i9-13900H processors and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 graphics, it provides uncompromising best-in-class performance despite its thin and light chassis. It features a full-size 19.05 mm key pitch, the same as a desktop keyboard. The long 1.4 mm key travel lets you type without having to use too much force. The keys are also concave shaped – ASUS calls it a “rubber dome” to guarantee the right tactile bump while typing. The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED series features two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports along with a full-sized HDMI 2.1 port, a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port, and an audio combo jack. This makes it possible for the Zenbook 14X OLED series to easily connect to an external 4K display, storage devices, or expand connections. The Zenbook is equipped with ASUS WiFi Master Premium technology, which has a built-in dual-band WiFi 6E wireless network for faster wireless performance.
