Asus ZenBook 14 UX425JA [UX425JA-BM036T] (90NB0QX1-M04820)

Zenbook just got better

The Asus ZenBook 14 is one of the most popular ultrabooks of 2021. It's a stylish, lightweight yet powerful ultrabook that honors the tradition of the ZenBook series. Like its predecessors, it is equipped with a proprietary NumberPad touchpad, which is combined with a numeric keypad. And the proprietary ErgoLift hinge serves two purposes at once. When you open the lid, the back of the case automatically rises, tilting the keyboard to a more comfortable angle for the hands and freeing up space under the bottom for additional blowing of hot air.

Slim and powerful

Despite its ultra-rugged status, the ZenBook 14 UX425JA is a powerful laptop that can do a lot. The engine is a 10th generation 8-thread Core i7 processor with an integrated Intel Iris G7 graphics card. If earlier such solutions were only suitable for connecting an external monitor and running some fifteen-year-old game, then from now on everything has become much more interesting. For example, in GTA 5 at medium settings and 1080p resolution, it produces an average of 28 frames per second. In our opinion, this is very foolish. The company processor is a fast M.2 SSD with a capacity of 1024 GB and 16 GB of DDR4 memory overclocked to 3200 MHz.

With such a performant filling, it is also one of the thinnest and lightest models with a protected case: its thickness is only 14 mm and weighs 1.17 kg. Despite the diminutiveness of the laptop case is made of aluminium, it does not flex under pressure and does not creak, leaving the feeling of a gadget assembled to the conscience. The laptop has been successfully tested for durability during drops and work in harsh environments and received the US military-industrial standard MIL-STD 810G certification.

Ultrabook without weaknesses

The list of advantages of the Asus ultrabook includes a Wi-Fi 6 module, USB-C ports with support for fast charging and Thunderbolt 3 interface, a camera with a simplified Face ID analogue, branded speakers from Harman Kardon, an efficient cooling system that is barely audible under load and capacious battery with an impressive 22 hours of operation! We are talking about working in a standard office mode with a browser, tables and texts with a display brightness of about 40% and a disabled touchpad.
