2022/05/20
Now available in the Nordics - ASUS iconic laptop series Zenbook has gotten a new 14'' design and a 16:10 2.8K OLED HDR display, Dolby Atmos sound and 12th Generation Intel Core- or AMD Ryzen processors.
Designed to deliver a cinematic audiovisual experience, Zenbook 14 OLED features an expansive 16:10 2.8K 90Hz OLED NanoEdge 550-nit PANTONE Validated 90Hz display with a cinema-grade 100% DCI-P3 gamut. It's DisplayHDR True Black 500 certified for deep blacks, and is also TÜV Rheinland certified for eye care. The Harman Kardon-certified Dolby Atmos sound system uses a smart amplifier to deliver powerful spatial sound.
Zenbook 14 OLED delivers excellent performance, powered by the latest 12th Generation Intel Core processors or up to AMD Ryzen 7 with up to 16 GB RAM, ultrafast PCIe 4.0 SSDs, the latest WiFi 6E connectivity, and ensures maximum life from the high-capacity 75 Wh battery. Despite its compact size — a mere 16.9 mm thin and 1.39 kg light — the all-aluminum Zenbook 14 OLED includes a full set of I/O ports, two USB-C with full support (Thunderbolt 4 in UX3402), HDMI 2.0, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, microSD card reader and an audio combo jack.
The new generation Zenbook 14 OLED introduces a modern, all-new look and feel to the Zenbook series, with a bold new lid design and two elegant new color options: Jade Black and Ponder Blue. Thoughtful user-centered design features include the 180° lay-flat ErgoLift hinge, fingerprint sensor on the power button, ASUS NumberPad 2.0, a webcam with ASUS 3D Noise Reduction (3DNR) technology and upgraded MyASUS webcam effects, and the new full-size ASUS ErgoSense keyboard and touchpad.
A full cinematic experience
Zenbook 14 OLED offers users an enhanced audiovisual experience, with an expansive 16:10 2.8K OLED NanoEdge 550-nit 90Hz touchscreen that delivers incredibly detailed visuals with ultra-vivid colors. The NanoEdge design has ultra-slim bezels and a 90% screen-to-body ratio, which in turn gives Zenbook 14 OLED a slim and compact form factor. For superb color accuracy, the display is PANTONE Validated, and the DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification means it displays the deepest possible blacks. It also cares for eyes during long screen sessions, with low blue-light levels that are certified by both SGS and TÜV Rheinland.
Immersive audio is delivered by the powerful and crystal-clear Harman Kardon-certified Dolby Atmos stereo sound system, which uses a smart amplifier that uses special algorithms to boost loudness levels by up to 350% without distortion. Dolby Atmos delivers a new spatial sound experience for all types of audio, for breathtaking realism in music, movies and videos.
Powerful, light and slim
Whatever the user needs to do, Zenbook 14 OLED is primed and ready, featuring all the multitasking power and the choice of up to 12th Generation Intel Core i7 processor or an AMD Ryzen 7 processor, up to 16 GB RAM and up to a 1 TB PCIe SSD for storage, while allowing all-day battery life from the 75 Wh battery.
The latest WiFi 6E (802.11ax) delivers gigabit-class wireless connections enhanced by ASUS WiFi Master Premium technology, including ASUS WiFi Stabilizer, which gives WiFi connections rock-solid stability, and WiFi Stabilizer to filter out wireless interference for the fastest possible speeds. Additionally, WiFi SmartConnect automatically selects the best WiFi source, so Zenbook 14 OLED connects seamlessly to the best WiFi signal and known mobile hotspots.
Designed for a sublime on-the-go experience, Zenbook 14 OLED packs this premium specification into a compact, slim and lightweight all-aluminum chassis that's ready to go anywhere. It's just 16.9 mm thin and weighs a mere 1.39 kg, yet it's packed with a full set of I/O ports for easy device and peripheral connectivity.

Modern looks, thoughtful design
Zenbook 14 OLED introduces a new interpretation of the signature Zenbook design that's timelessly elegant yet modern. The bold new lid design is based around our new monogram 'A' logo — first seen in the 30th Anniversary Edition Zenbook. An echo of the iconic spun-metal Zenbook finish, with its Zen-inspired concentric circles — can be seen on the end caps of the hinges. Zenbook 14 OLED is available in two colors: Ponder Blue (UX3402) and Jade Black (UM3402).
Giving users the best experiences is something we really care about. That’s why Zenbook 14 OLED is packed with thoughtful design features, such as the 180° ErgoLift hinge that makes it easy to share and collaborate, ASUS NumberPad 2.0 for easy data entry, and a fingerprint sensor on the power button for single-touch login with Windows Hello. The webcam features ASUS 3D Noise Reduction (3DNR) technology and upgraded MyASUS webcam effects to take video-calling to the next level. 3DNR significantly upgrades the webcam image clarity, with a unique algorithm that sharpens images and performs real-time de-noising to make sure everything looks crisp and clear during video calls. The new webcam effects in MyASUS include Background Blurring for enhanced privacy; Lighting Optimization to keep faces out of shadow; Motion Tracking to always keep faces center-frame; and Eye Tracking to reduce the effect of eyes wandering away from the camera.
This laptop also features the new full-size ErgoSense keyboard and touchpad for the most comfortable typing experience. Its 19.05 mm key pitch is the same as a desktop keyboard, for superb typing comfort and accuracy. The 0.2 mm key-cap dish matches the shape of fingertips, and the long 1.4 mm key travel lets users type with optimal force. The special hydrophobic coating on the ErgoSense touchpad provides smoother, silk-like touch feedback for every scrolling movement, and there's also a tough, easy-to-clean anti-fingerprint coating.
