We quite liked ASUS’ Zenbook 14X OLED from last year. Its powerful internals are perfect for our line of work and our requirements. Its good looks is a huge bonus for our interaction with it too. That was last year though, and there is a new processor on the block. That also means that the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED from 2022 is now outdated.
No matter, ASUS has a new Zenbook 14X OLED for 2023. This time it comes packing Intel’s latest 13th Generation Core processor. In fact, you get to fit up to an Intel Core i9 in the new Zenbook.
The 2023 Zenbook 14X OLED is one of the most powerful thin-and-light notebooks in its class. As mentioned, you can opt for Intel’s latest Core i9-13900H processor that clocks at 2.6 GHz and turbos up to 5.4 GHz. You can settle for Intel’s Iris Xe graphics, or you can opt for NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3050 laptop GPU for all your heavy duty workloads. You can even opt for 32GB of LDPDDR5 RAM if you really want to go crazy.
The display is a little larger than before at 14.5-inch. As the name suggests, it is an OLED display. The expansive display offers up to 2.8K in resolution for your viewing pleasure and offers up to 120Hz smoothness. For the best colour grading experience you can get out of a mobile workstation, the OLED panel also offers DisplayHDR True Black 600, 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut, and is even Pantone validated. For better productivity, the display is at as 16:10 ratio.
To keep everything powered up an entire day is a 70 Wh battery with fast charging technology via USB Type-C. That also means that you can even use the bundled charger to charge your smartphone with little issue. You technically can use any 5-20V chargers with Power Deliver certification too for even more convenience and flexibility in remote working.
All of this goodness is wrapped in a familiar all-metal chassis. It is thin too at 16.9 mm but features all the right full-sized I/O ports for even more flexibility. It is not even that heavy at 1.5kg, even with all the metal.
The new ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED for 2023 is now available for purchase from ASUS’ authorized dealers and stores nationwide. It is available in either Inkwell Gray or Sandstone Beige colour options. Prices starts at MYR 4,999 for an Intel Core i5-13500H variant and up to MYR 6,999 for the top-of-the-line Core i9-13900H with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 variant.
