Overall, I will have to say that the new integrated GPU that is built into the Intel Core Ultra, which is the Meteor Lake architecture, is amazing.
I personally like this Zenbook 14 OLED laptop, and that Intel Core Ultra 7 155H is a game changer!
As we can see here, the performance of the NPU is more than 4x better than the CPU using OpenVINO!
The Zenbook 14 OLED is sleeker and lighter, but it still has the stunning OLED display, a very good keyboard and touchpad, and the big upgrade comes in the form of the new Intel Core Ultra processor that's faster, brings a better GPU, a powerful NPU, amazing efficiency and honestly this will make the experience even better once Windows, third-party apps, games start to take full advantage of its capabilities.
It surprises us both with its performance and its autonomy
Besides the powerful new chip, ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED also possesses a series of attractive upgrades from design to features, making this an extremely valuable Ultrabook model.
Media reviews
A fantastic lightweight laptop combining good design, strong performance and an excellent screen.
Armed with this new Intel Core Ultra processor, the Asus ZenBook 14 opens up new horizons. It can tackle more demanding tasks, particularly in terms of graphics processing, and that's quite an achievement. We also appreciated its autonomy, which means you can carry it around all day without having to worry about the charger. Last but not least, the overall aesthetics of this PC, with its aluminum chassis and beautiful Oled screen, make it a real eye-catcher.
From the powerhouse Meteor Lake CPU, to the laptop's sleek lightweight chassis, right down to the Macbook-esque battery endurance, and with a starting SRP of RM4,499. The ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED is a laptop I can wholeheartedly recommend to those in the market for a long-lasting thin and light laptop with pros that truly outweigh the cons!
Why have an NPU in your device? Well, the simplest answer is to run AI tasks on your device locally. There are a lot of benefits by doing this. The most obvious is that we can run everything locally so we don't need an internet connection.
Honestly speaking, the price of RM5,999 for this laptop is actually cheaper than last year's Zenbook 14X OLED UX3404 yet offers so much more. We get higher performance, much better battery life, and also the NPU for more efficient AI processing.
The attention to detail is the hidden charm of this ultra-slim laptop. A tweaked key design, an improved LED-illuminated numeric keypad integrated in the touchpad and an AI layer for the webcam are built on a solid foundation. The performance, a gorgeous display and battery life are the underliers that Asus Zenbook 14 OLED’s illustrious rivals will struggle to match.
