Aerodynamic IceBlades for accelerated cooling
ZenBook 14 Ultrallight provides exceptional heat dissipation via an upgraded 8 mm heat pipe and a new IceBlades fan that efficiently accelerates heat transfer. The 87-blade IceBlades fan and impeller are made of a liquid-crystal polymer that allows them to be lighter and thinner than ordinary fans. Each IceBlades fan blade has a 3D-curved aerodynamic design, allowing the fan to achieve better flow rate and lower noise. In addition, the IceBlades fans also use a fluid-dynamics bearing, which can achieve better vibration reduction and lower noise when compared to ordinary fans.

Battery tests conducted by ASUS on August 19, 2020 using the 1080p Video Playback scenario. Test configuration: ZenBook 14 Ultralight UX435EAL, 1W FHD LCD panel, Intel® Core™ i5-1135G7, 256 GB PCIe 3.0 x2 SSD, 8 GB RAM. Test settings: WiFi enabled but disconnected (not connected to any access point), Windows Power Plan set to Balanced, display brightness set to 150 cd/m2, NumberPad off. Actual battery life may vary depending on product configuration, usage, operational conditions and power management settings. Battery life will decrease over the lifetime of the battery.
According to overall desktop thickness, as of May 8, 2020 based on internal ASUS market analysis comparing ZenBook 14 Ultralight laptop size to competing products in their class (laptops with a screen measuring 14 inches from vendors including Acer, Apple, HP, Huawei, Lenovo, Microsoft and Samsung.
The stated 2.6 mm width of the side bezel is the distance between the edge of the non-active screen display area and the inside edge of the case. If the case width is included, the side bezel width is 4.4 mm. Measured based on standard (anti-glare) display configuration. The top bezel width is 6.1 mm and the bottom bezel width is 3.3 mm.
The 40% performance increase is compared to a Cinebench R20 multicore score of an 11th generation CPU at fixed 15W TDP. Data is from ASUS internal laboratories.
Test score may vary according to specifications.
To enable Performance Mode, please keep the laptop plugged in for the best performance, set the Windows power option as ASUS Recommended Mode, and select Performance Mode in the MyASUS software.
The results are compared to 10th generation CPU at fixed 15W TDP. Data is from ASUS internal laboratories.
Unless otherwise stated, claimed WiFi speeds are based on theoretical performance. Actual performance may vary in real-world situations.
WiFi Master test configuration: under controlled test conditions, streaming Full HD YouTube videos, and AP set with one antenna at 802.11g. Actual WiFi range and performance may be affected by environmental factors. Interference from USB 3 devices may vary according to the device. Range comparisons refer to standard laptop with all-metal chassis design.
The charging speed of a Power Delivery charger will match the connected adapter's power output, up to a maximum of [65] watts.
