The Asus Zenbook 14X OLED UX5400ZB-KN028W is now available from Amazon and offers an interesting configuration/price ratio for its category where it is one of the only ones to offer a screen with such faithful colors and such high definition with such a recent and powerful processor (Alder Lake), graphics card as powerful but also Thunderbolt connectors.
Chassis, connectors, screen of the Asus Zenbook 14X OLED UX5400ZB-KN028W
With its Pine Grey silver design that can be opened at 180° completely flat, this versatile thin and light laptop sports an elegant and discreet look.
Cooled by IceCool technology, it offers a fingerprint reader to authenticate biometrically via Windows Hello technology.
This Ultrabook is well equipped in terms of connectivity with its 2 USB-C including 1 Thunderbolt 4, its wireless modules Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi ax (newer and more powerful than Wi-Fi ax) to communicate and connect remotely, its audio port, 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 more fast than usb 2.0 if you plug in a USB 3.0 device.
A backlight solution equips of course the chiclet keyboard which is convenient to better discern its keys in the dim light.
Physical numeric keypad point on the right logically with respect to the size less than 15 inches.
However, those who wish to enter the numbers more easily can activate the ScreenPad 2.0, the second screen positioned at the touchpad which offers several features, including touchpad and numeric keypad.
Multimedia enthusiasts, creatives and more broadly those who appreciate the most faithful colors possible with deep blacks, significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles as well as very low latency will appreciate that the screen adopts DCI-P3 Pantone OLED specifications. In addition the screen is adorned with a definition 2.8K higher than Full HD ready for (Very) High Definition content, here associated with a 16/10th format more comfortable in height than the 16/9th. The screen should also adopt a refresh rate of 90Hz which enhances the fluidity compared to the standard 60Hz. Because of its brilliant treatment, the screen gives punch to the colors but is sensitive to reflections in bright environments (eg outside), which the most nomadic may deplore.
Performance, battery life of the Asus Zenbook 14X OLED UX5400ZB-KN028W
The Asus Zenbook 14X OLED UX5400ZB-KN028W can appeal to those who want to acquire a stylish high-performance laptop for versatile use on the go.
Versatile, this versatile Ultrabook is clearly versatile with its dual graphics solution consisting of a dedicated GeForce MX550 NVIDIA Turing card and an Intel Iris Xe solution integrated into the processor. Nvidia Optimus technology automatically switches between the two in real time as needed.
In order to promote autonomy, the Iris Xe is preferred to the maximum by Optimus although its performance is more modest, due to its reduced energy consumption. Thus we can count for this multimedia laptop on an autonomy of about 8 hours on battery in light use. This is all the more appreciable because with its lightness, compactness and finesse, this multimedia Ultrabook is easy to carry.
However it should be borne in mind that the ScreenPad has a negative impact on battery life, and therefore it is advisable to activate it only when you need it.
Optimus actually activates the GeForce MX550 to perform graphics processing deemed too heavy for the Iris Xe. Equipped with the NVIDIA Turing architecture, the GeForce MX550 as well as the Iris Xe allow you to watch photos and videos but also to play titles not too gourmnads in graphics resources. More greedy and powerful, the GeForce MX550 is certainly not a lightning bolt of war but is able to run a lot of games if you consent to settings under the opus greedy in graphic resources to obtain a good fluidity. Because 2.8K requires more calculations from the GPU than Full HD, which leads to a lower number of fps.
The Iris Xe is directly integrated into the Intel Alder Lake-P Core i7-1260P processor composed of 12 hybrid cores, here coupled with 16 GB of RAM to provide solid overall performance to satisfy a maximum of users.
This core will be particularly appreciated by creators because it ensures much faster processing than a classic Quad Core and 8 GB DDR4, the difference being particularly noticeable under the works taking advantage of multi-core – and therefore the 12 cores of the Alder Lake-P – as in photo editing or video conversion.
As for storage, there is an SSD with a large capacity of 1 TB rivaling what hard drives offer in this area.
In addition to the latter, let us highlight the advantages provided by an SSD: greater resistance to shocks, reduced energy consumption, silence of operation or even greater velocity.
Concretely, the SSD guarantees a much better fluidity and responsiveness on a daily basis than a simple hard disk. Thanks to the SSD, multimedia processing is much faster, for example, as are software starts/stops and launches, and you can get to the cards of online games faster.
