ASUS ZenBook 14X OLED Space Edition Laptop, 14” 2.8K 16:10 OLED Touch Display, Intel Core i9-12900H CPU, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Windows 11 Pro, ZenVision Display, UX5401ZAS-XS99T

I purchased this laptop in January of this year. Life happened and I was unable to unbox it and get it set up until today. Imagine my surprise when it didnt power on at all. It doesnt matter if its plugged in or not. Charging it for five hours didnt help. It just wont come on.

maravillosa

The specs are all there on paper but it just doesnt live up to its hype. The machine is slower than it should be by a country mile.

This laptop is great, very fast and with lots of memory (I take machine learning courses and need lots of memory). The only downside is battery life for me this is not an issue since I am not a road warrior. It also has a setting that only permits charging to 80% to save battry life so leaving it plugged in is not an issue.

great size, great battery, great specs and great packaging. highly recommended.

Too expensive for what you wind up with.

This is a nice laptop, but for some reason it seems to have little hickups that causes delays opening certain programs. Not sure if a software or hardware issue, but it is mildly annoying considering how expensive it was.

This laptop is so totally not worth this much. It ended up just being a gimmick more than the force-to be-reckoned-with they made it out to be. Poor battery life, if you plug it in it heats up...a lot. Freezing and crashing way more often than any other laptop Ive owned. I expected this to be a powerhouse with the specs its got but it cant handle some Google tabs, notepad, vscode, and VirtualBox in one sitting apparently. Truly pathetic. If youre gonna spend this much money, go for a gaming laptop or just something better than this.

Where to start? Has to be the design because if youre buying the laptop, the design is the biggest part. Its very good and an attention getter. Design standouts include etched space edition branding (simulating external paneling on a space station), an OLED external display with an astronaut screensaver (among a few limited others), and a subtle darker(ish) titanium color evoking most premium laptops since the Apple Powerbook G4 (damn I miss that one). DId I mention how much of an attention-getter the external display is? Not quite on the level of wearing Google Glass but on the same spectrum.

For a 14 ultrabook of any brand to have a 12th gen i9 processor and 32GB RAM, 1TB M.2, and a 2.8k OLED display is incredible. This thing is lightning fast! Cool features like number pad built into the touch pad, full aluminum case, and a fun little customizable display on the lid take it over the top. I love it! Only thing i will warn you on is the battery life. As you can imagine, you will not be powering all that up in a tiny laptop and get good battery life. 4 hours is the max youll get so if you need long life, find an i5 machine with a standard display. This one wont be good for you.
