For the starting version. Each part is measured the same way for every laptop (processor and graphics from benchmark results) and moves up or down with what reviewers praise or criticise.

Pros

  • Premium, light metal body
  • Good keyboard and touchpad
  • Accurate OLED colours (about 100% DCI-P3)
  • Strong battery life
  • Wi-Fi 7 and Thunderbolt 4
  • Faster than the AMD Zenbook 14
  • Compact, light, premium-feeling

Cons

  • RAM is soldered
  • SSD slows down when hot
  • Performance drops in long heavy loads
  • Weighs nearer 1.3 kg than the claimed 1.2 kg
  • OLED flickers (PWM) below 85% brightness
  • Sharp front edge
  • Hot and loud in Performance mode
  • NotebookcheckSep 2025

    Tested Core Ultra 7 255H, 16GB, 1TB, 1920x1200 60 Hz OLED touch: the better Zenbook 14 this year, ahead of the AMD model thanks to Thunderbolt, Wi-Fi 7 and more speed.

  • Ultrabook ReviewApr 2026

    Tested Core Ultra 9 285H, 32GB, 1TB, 2.8K 120 Hz OLED (non-touch): still an excellent daily ultrabook, better for long heavy work than the AMD version but less efficient in light use.

  • SmartprixMar 2025

    Tested Core Ultra 5 225H, 32GB, 1TB, 3K 120 Hz OLED touch (India): a premium, compact work laptop with a lovely OLED, but battery life was far below the claim.
