ASUS today launched Zenbook 14X OLED (UX5401) in Norway. A refreshed premium 14-inch thin and light laptop with a 16:10 aspect-ratio design that gives it an entirely new look and feel.
Zenbook 14X OLED features an ultra-bright 2.8K (2880x1800) OLED HDR NanoEdge display that delivers exceptionally realistic visuals with deep blacks and a 1,000,000 to 1 contrast ratio. It is PANTONE Validated for industry-standard color accuracy, has a cinema-grade 100% DCI-P3 gamut for ultra-vivid colors, and is TÜV-certified for low blue-light levels. The new 16:10 aspect ratio with its 92% screen-to-body ratio gives an expanded visual workspace, reducing the need for scrolling. Additionally, the new OLED HDR panels feature 90 Hz update frequency for the smoothest Zenbook experience ever.
The powerful 11th generation Intel Core processor is complemented with ASUS Intelligent Performance Technology (AIPT) for sustained maximum performance. Intel WiFi 6 connectivity is enhanced with ASUS WiFi Master Premium technology, which includes ASUS WiFi Stabilizer for reduced interference and ASUS WiFi SmartConnect for seamless connections.
Zenbook 14X OLED has an all-new slim design, but the 15.9 mm thin chassis retains a full complement of I/O ports for comprehensive on-the-go connectivity, including a USB Type-A port, two USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports, a standard HDMI port, a microSD card slot, and an audio jack. Zenbook 14X OLED is also built to last and passes the MIL-STD-810H U.S. military standard for reliability and durability.
For an improved user experience, Zenbook 14X OLED features many thoughtful design details, including the new fingerprint sensor on the power button for fast login, and the digital ASUS NumberPad 2.0 for easy data entry.
The smoothest Zenbook visuals ever
The 14-inch Zenbook 14X OLED has a 2.8K OLED HDR four-sided NanoEdge display with touch. This gorgeous slim-bezel display brings everything to life, with a 16:10 aspect ratio that provides an 18%-bigger visual workspace than a standard 16:9 display. The taller screen also lets the user see more of a website or document without having to scroll up or down, making it perfect for reading, writing or coding.
The display has a cinema-grade 100% DCI-P3 color gamut and is PANTONE Validated for ultra-vivid, ultra-accurate colors. OLED technology ensures true blacks with up to a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio for enhanced realism, and for outstanding eye care the display is also TÜV-certified for low blue-light emissions.
For the first time ASUS introduces an OLED HDR 90 Hz panel to the Zenbook series, to offer the smoothest Zenbook experience ever.
Superb performance
Powered by the latest 11th Generation Intel Core processors, up to 16GB RAM and Intel Iris Xe graphics, Zenbook 14X OLED gives all the all-round performance needed for smooth multitasking and effortless productivity. With up to the latest ultrafast 1 TB PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 SSD and gigabit-class Intel WiFi 6 (802.11ax) users won't be waiting for apps or websites to load, either.

ASUS Intelligent Performance Technology (AIPT) is an ultra-efficient thermal design and power-saving solution. It uses ASUS exclusive algorithms combined with between five and nine smart sensors, an aerodynamic IceBlades fan design and a 100-watt power supply to intelligently increase CPU performance with improved stability, while allowing all-day battery life and a quieter and cooler laptop. With ASUS Intelligent Performance Technology, the laptop can run in high-performance status for as long needed. There are three user-selectable modes: Performance Mode maximizes performance and thermal parameters for heavy workloads; Balanced Mode intelligently optimizes performance, thermal, and power parameters for everyday tasks; and Whisper Mode provides cool and quiet power-saving operation. Using ASUS Intelligent Performance Technology in Performance mode, Zenbook 14X OLED can enjoy a performance boost of up to 70% compared to a typical 2021 laptop running at fixed 15W TDP.
