Our Take
The ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED UX3405CA is a slim, business-friendly ultraportable built around Intel's Core Ultra chips and integrated Arc graphics. Aimed at professionals and students who want a sharp screen and all-day portability rather than gaming grunt, it sits in the mid-to-upper price bracket of the Windows ultraportable market, competing with the likes of the Dell XPS 13 and Lenovo Yoga Slim.
Key Features
14-inch 2.8K (2880 x 1800) OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate
Intel Core Ultra processor (Meteor Lake) with built-in Intel Arc graphics and an NPU for AI-assisted tasks
Slim aluminium chassis with a lid finished in ASUS's signature spun-metal pattern
Harman Kardon-tuned speaker system with support for Dolby Atmos
Thunderbolt 4 and USB-A ports alongside HDMI, avoiding a dongle-only setup
Backlit keyboard and a large glass trackpad
Our Verdict
A strong pick for anyone who wants a beautiful screen and slim build for office work, browsing, and content consumption, without needing gaming-grade power. Creative professionals and frequent travellers will appreciate the display and portability. Gamers or those running demanding creative software should look at laptops with discrete graphics instead.
