 ZenBook laptops are the epitome of style and elegance, being some of the best-looking devices that money can buy. The new ZenBook 14 OLED UX3402 is a staple model from the brand, combining powerful hardware with a quality display while maintaining very good portability. The laptop uses aluminum for its entirety, which provides excellent durability, passing the A10H military tests for survival in harsh environments. At 14 inches, it remains portable, weighing just 1.39 kilograms and having a profile of 16.9 millimeters. You can choose between two beautiful colors, aqua-celadon and ponder blue. We've chosen classic blue. The Japanese art of Kintsugi inspires the lid with stylish lines which actually make up the new Asus ZenBook logo. You can open it with one hand, revealing the keyboard and touchpad. Of course, it has the ErgoLift mechanism, propping up the rear end of the laptop for better airflow and a more ergonomic position of the keyboard. Plus, it can get all the way down to 180 degrees. The screen bezels are pretty thin, while managing to house a webcam with HD or FHD resolution. Despite the thin chassis, the keyboard provides long key travel and clicky feedback. Plus, there's a number pad hidden in the trackpad and a fingerprint sensor for one touch login. We're pleasantly surprised by the number of ports on the sides given the size of this notebook. It's equipped with two ultra-fast Thunderbolt 4 ports with fast charging capabilities and a full-sized USB 3.2 Gen2. Somehow, Asus has managed to find space for a full-sized HDMI 2, but you could also use the DisplayPort feature of the Thunderbolts for connecting two external displays. There's also an audio jack and a microSD card reader. The 2.8K OLED HDR panel is our favorite feature of this ZenBook. It's super smooth with its 90Hz refresh rate and it feels better at night thanks to the greatly reduced blue light compared to LCD screens. The 16 by 10 aspect ratio makes it suitable for content creation and it has amazingly vivid colors thanks to the 100% coverage of both the sRGB and DCI-P3 color gamuts. As with every OLED panel, it has true blacks, thus an infinite contrast ratio. The good display is accompanied by a high quality Dolby Atmos sound system certified by Harman Kardon. More interesting is the AI noise cancellation, though, for filtering the unwanted noise in meetings. Check it out with and without the ClearVoice feature enabled. Asus AI noise-canceling microphone eliminates over 50 million types of background noises. Despite its small stature, the laptop comes with a large 75Wh battery pack, which lasts for 11 hours and 31 minutes of web browsing or 11 hours and 29 minutes of video playback when paired with the Core i5-1240p, a 12-core 16 thread CPU. There are also configurations with the more powerful Core i7-1260p. Both CPUs are suitable for office tasks or photo editing. Now we'd recommend getting something beefier for professional video editing or 3D rendering. It is because it has just one heat pipe and one fan, along with one heat spreader over the VRM modules. While the Core i5 doesn't really spike up in the first seconds of our stress test, it is competitive in prolonged loads. The comfort is alright, with low temperatures on the base. The one fan does get a bit noisy in the performance preset, but it only happened in the torture test. In every other scenario, the ZenBook 14 OLED ran quietly. The device comes with up to 16GB of soldered memory, while the storage can be upgraded by replacing the drive on the M.2 PCIe X4 slot. Ultra-fast Gen4 SSDs are supported. For a detailed disassembly process, we'll leave our teardown video in the description. The ZenBook 14 OLED is a luxurious piece of technology that's both portable and well-performing. The OLED panel is stunning to look at, while allowing you to express your creativity. That, plus all the features in the new UX3402, makes this notebook one of the best ultra-portable models on the market. We'd be happy to find one more heat pipe and bumped up wattage in the next generation, but we're still awarding this ZenBook with our editor's choice metal. Of course, we've done a lot more tests, and you can check out all the results in our in-depth review on laptopmedia.com. You'll find the link in the description below the video.
