Tests consisted of a punishing regime designed to ensure survival in harsh environments, and included power-on drop tests, vibration tests, and operation at extremes of humidity, altitude and temperature. Zenbook 14X has also passed ASUS laptop stress tests that far exceed the standards set by the industry.
High Temperature Test30°C to 63°C for 7 x 24 hours non-operational cycles
Low Temperature Test-25°C to -33°C for 7 x 24 hours non-operational cycles
Drop TestFree fall from 100 mm while powered on, 4x for each side/surface
Vibration Test5-500 Hz, 3 axes, random 2 hours per axis
Humidity Test95% humidity, 30°C and 60°C 10-day duration
Altitude TestNormal operation at a cabin pressure equivalent to 15,000 feet
According to overall laptop thickness, as of April 7, 2021 based on internal ASUS market analysis comparing Zenbook 14X to competing clamshell laptops with a 14-inch screen in 16:10 aspect ratio from vendors including Dell, HP, and Lenovo. Zenbook 14X ranked first in terms of thickness.
The stated 3.4 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 4.7 mm. Measured based on standard (anti-glare) display configuration. The top bezel width is 7.45 mm and the bottom bezel width is 7.4 mm.
Intel® Iris® Xe graphics are only available on models with an Intel Core i5 or i7 processor. All other models use Intel® UHD graphics.
The 70% performance increase is compared to the 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.
