ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED (2024) — Designed for Portable Performance

The ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED is one of the most portable laptops I’ve ever tested, balancing performance with its portable pursuits exceptionally well. Its 14-inch display allows the entire laptop to be more compact while still being usable, avoiding the too-compact feel that 13-inch laptops sometimes elicit. With a weight of only 2.65 pounds, it’s so lightweight that you can forget you’re carrying it throughout the day. 

The experience of using it has really been balanced around its portability, which comes into play in multiple areas. For the work experience on that display, to the ease of use with the keyboard and trackpad, to cooling and performance under pressure. Its new Meteor Lake processor, especially after the recent BIOS updates, performs very well. The thin design does limit it compared to some of the competition but the pricing makes what it has to offer feel especially compelling.
