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

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.

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.

Been very happy with this laptop, hasn’t blinked yet with anything I’ve thrown at it. I do a decent amount of photo/video editing and light gaming. No issues with battery life either as I know that’s been a common issue.

Amazing craftsmanship put into this laptop, but plagued by the quirks of intel 12th Gen. It will be condemned to poor battery life of around 4 hours until Intel updates their own drivers and firmware to fix the issue. Nothing wrong with laptop and ASUS chose quality components. You have to accept it’s a bit overpriced because of the niche market that would appreciate this laptop for a celebration of their history and space flight.

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

Right when i received it, there were several loose/wobbly keys. Normally this wouldnt be a dealer-breaker, but the backspace key started making an obnoxious squeaking noise after a few presses.

To be honest, I am not sure if the issue is with the ASUS Zenbook or Windows 11, but I have a similar work HP with Windows 11 that does not have the issues I am experiencing.

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 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.

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.
