Asus Zenbook 14 UX3402VA-KM553W Specs and Details

With its compact, thin and light dark blue design made of MIL-STD-810H military-grade aluminum, this versatile Ultrabook has a distinctive yet relatively understated and elegant look.

This laptop integrates good connectivity with its 2 USB 4 Type-C Thunderbolt 4 (compared to 1 maximum usually), its HDMI video output useful to easily connect it to a TV or monitor for example, its Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6E ax wireless modules to communicate and connect remotely or its USB 3.2 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 when a device USB 3.0 is plugged into it.

Since a biometric reader is built-in, one can authenticate by fingerprint recognition through the Windows Hello feature.

By pressing the F9/F10 keys, the webcam can be turned on/off when not in use in order to preserve privacy.

The chiclet keyboard can be backlit, of course, when you want to better distinguish its keys in low-light environments.

Any model smaller than 15 inches lacks the space needed on the right to house a physical numeric keypad.
However, Asus has the good idea to integrate its NumPad technology here. Once activated, NumberPad converts the touchpad into a touch-sensitive numeric keypad for easy digit entry.

The screen is an essential asset of this laptop thanks to its DCI-P3 OLED characteristics ensuring a much more faithful colorimetry than the average with a great depth of blacks, minimal latency but also large viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically.
The High Fidelity screen is therefore also suitable for High Definition content thanks to its 2.8K definition much higher than Full HD, its 16:10 format displaying more elements on the height than the classic 16:9.
OLED involves a glossy coating that revives colors but is sensitive to reflections in bright environments (e.g. outdoors).

The Asus Zenbook 14 OLED UX3402VA-KM553W may be of interest to those who want to equip themselves with a sleek, high-definition, high-fidelity, easy-to-carry laptop with a high-performance processor for versatile, everyday use, nomadic, multimedia-oriented.

Easy to carry because it is light, compact and thin, it may be of interest to some people wishing to have a student laptop since its autonomy is around 10 hours on battery in light use.

Despite this good battery life, this laptop delivers good overall power that will delight demanding users.
It is driven by an Intel Raptor Lake Core i9-13900H processor with 14 hybrid cores that houses the Iris Xe graphics solution.

This Ultrabook reveals its full potential under software exploiting multi-core and RAM – in this case 16 GB – as well as under multimedia work such as photo editing or video editing. This type of processing is much faster than with a regular Quad/Hexa Core and 8GB DDR4/5.

Players, on the other hand, will pass on their way, as well as those who want to benefit from a good graphical power.
All the graphics are entrusted to the Iris Xe, a solution housed in the Core i9 thanks to which you can watch HD photos and videos.

Or even play light to modest games if you make adjustments such as lowering the screen resolution. This is because 2.8K requires more graphics calculations than Full HD, which results in a lower number of fps.

Asus provides this laptop with SSD storage with a substantial capacity of 1000 GB to install and store multiple software and files, including personal creations.

This nice capacity is similar to what hard drives offer in this area. But compared to the latter, an SSD offers advantages such as greater shock resistance, lower power consumption, quiet operation and greater speed.

In practice, the responsiveness and fluidity are much better in use with an SSD than with a hard drive.
Thanks to the SSD, you can enjoy faster start-ups/shutdowns, as well as software launches, and you can get to online game maps faster.
