ASUS Zenbook 14 is across its generations and with all its interesting variants, reference device for many users. Placed in the ultraportable category, ASUS has managed to combine the best in terms of performance with a design that honors the concept of a notebook as a lightweight mobility solution that is therefore not a problem to take with you anywhere. something decisive in the era of the predominance of hybrid work and mobility.

The last member of the ASUS Zenbook 14 family we’ve seen so far was the 14X OLED in a review that left a very good taste in our mouths. But as I’ve mentioned several times, in a world as fast as technology and consumer electronics, renewal or dying has a special meaningbecause each generation of components provides improvements over its predecessor, sometimes very substantial, and users logically want to enjoy them in their daily lives.

So when we again adapt ourselves to this principle, ASUS has just unveiled its new 2024 ASUS Zenbook 14 OLEDthus we anticipate CES 2024, a trade fair where we know that the technologies we have already informed you about in the past days will have an important presence and which will undoubtedly be even more relevant in the days to come.

The first thing we will see in this ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED 2024 (UX3405) is, as the name suggests, its 14-inch OLED display with 3K resolution (2,880 x 1,800 pixels with an aspect ratio of 16:10), a refresh rate of 120 hertz and a response speed of just 0.2 milliseconds. Its brightness can be scaled up to 550 nits (standard value is 400) and of course, since we are talking about an ASUS OLED screen; We can expect an excellent image and color representation, which is confirmed by the 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space and the VESA HDR True Black 500 certification. It is also certified by TÜV Rheinland in terms of protection against blue light. , is stylus compatible and a touch screen is also available for users who need it.

The exceptionality of the screen is matched by its sound system, signed by Harman/Kardon and compatible with Dolby Atmoswhich guarantees us a first-class experience when consuming audiovisual content.

Of course, the appearance and quality of the screen can be overshadowed by the laptop itself, especially due to its thickness, which is only 1.49 centimeters and its surroundings 1.2 kilosall this in an aluminum chassis that at the same time provides resistance (which is fully accredited by its US MIL-STD 810H certification), lightness and a visually very attractive design, as you can see in the images that accompany this article , and that undoubtedly gives it at first glance premium device status.

Already inside, we can see that even this ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED 2024 (UX3405) is not far behind. As we expected, the technology company made the jump to Intel Core Ultra, also by betting on the top of the line of this generation, the H family, with configurations that can scale up toThis is the Core Ultra 9-185H. And of course, ASUS has already told us that the AI ​​capabilities in the client that open up with the NPUs in these integrated Intel devices will be put to good use in this new Zenbook. In addition, it preserves EVO certificationwith all implied warranties.

System graphics are handled by an Intel APU, and based on the references we have of Intel Arc’s performance in this generation of integrated devices, we can have really high expectations. The set is supplemented by up to 32 gigabytes of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1 terabyte of NVMe PCIe 4 storage. So we can expect exceptional performance that thanks to the EVO specification and its 75 watt hoursit won’t conflict with the great autonomy that ASUS estimates at 15 hours in certain scenarios.

In terms of connectivity, ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED 2024 (UX3405) has WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5 in the wireless part, on the physical level we find two Thunderbolt 4/USB 3 Type-C ports display/power compatible, one 1 x USB 3.2 Type A port, one HDMI 2.1 TMDS and a 3.5mm minijack mixed audio port. So we find a total of five ports on a 14-inch device, which is a very defensible value.

The new ultra-portable ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED 2024 (UX3405) is now available for pre-order on the ASUS website, with first deliveries scheduled for the first week of January and priced from 1,499 euros.
