Asus Zenbook 14 UX3402ZA-KM020W Specs and Details

Robust due to its compliance with the MIL-STD-810H military resistance standard, this thin and light aluminum laptop adopts a Ponder Blue design that is both sober and original.

This versatile Ultrabook is well equipped in terms of connectivity with its 2 USB 4 Type-C Thunderbolt 4 (against 1 maximum usually), its Wi-Fi ax wireless modules (newer and more powerful than Wi-Fi ax) and Bluetooth 5.2 to connect and communicate remotely, its convenient HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or monitor for example or its USB 3.2 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if you plug in USB 3.0 devices.

As a fingerprint reader is integrated into the power button, one can easily authenticate biometrically via Windows Hello technology.

To preserve privacy, the webcam and microphone can be activated/deactivated by simply pressing the dedicated F10 and F9 keys.

Let’s also mention the anti-fingerprint coating at the touchpad.
It is equipped with NumberPad technology (NumPad) allowing when you need to enter the numbers more easily to convert the touchpad into a touchpad.

The chiclet keyboard can be backlit of course so that we can better distinguish its keys in low light atmosphere.

The screen stands out on several points, starting with its DCI-P3 OLED specifications ensuring much more faithful colors than average with very deep blacks, low latency as well as significant viewing angles, both horizontal and vertical. In addition, the screen lends itself well to the display of (Very) High Definition content thanks to its 2.8K definition significantly higher than Full HD, its 16/10th format being also more comfortable in height than the traditional 16/9th. Some will regret, however, that it is brilliant. Because certainly the colors are even more revived but this implies an increased sensitivity to reflections in bright environments (eg outside) compared to an anti-reflective treatment.

The Asus Zenbook 14 OLED UX3402ZA-KM020W may be of interest to those who intend to acquire a thin and light compact laptop for versatile use on the go.

Easy to carry thanks to its lightness, compactness and finesse, it will be of particular interest to nomads as it is able to hold about 10 hours on battery in light use.

To do this, it relies on energy-efficient components such as its 16 GB of RAM, low consumption like the Intel Alder Lake-P Core i5-1240P processor with 12 hybrid cores.
The latter are particularly exploited under work demanding RAM and processor resources taking advantage of multi-core, such as photo editing, video editing or 3D rendering, which will interest creators.

On the other hand, players will pass their way since no dedicated graphics card is embedded. However, thanks to the Iris Xe graphics solution integrated into the Core i5 Alder Lake-P, you can still watch photos and videos but also play modest titles for concessions (eg definition of the screen).

On the storage side, we find logically an SSD because it consumes less energy than a hard disk while being more resistant to shocks, silent and much faster.
In practice, the SSD guarantees much better responsiveness and fluidity than a simple hard drive. Thanks to the SSD, processing is much faster, especially as well as starts/stops and software launches, and we arrive for example faster on the cards of online games.

We find here a 512 GB SSD, capacity in line with the standard of hard drives. However, in the event that more space is needed, you can rely on an external storage unit. Opting for a USB-C/Thunderbolt/USB 3.0 device is then an interesting solution to get fast transfers.
