What owners report

  • “I bought an asus OLED zenbook 14 with the ryzen chip, slapped pop OS onto it and it ran with no issues since. In a lot of ways it's better than the M2 max macbook pro I had before (better screen for one). It was also, uh, 1/6th the price.”

  • “I've been using M1 since it came out. [...] Fast, snappy, smooth. Prior to that, I had a Dell XPS that ran loud and always felt laggy to use. [...] I grabbed a new Zenbook 14 OLED w/current gen i7. Metal chassis, nice keyboard, nice trackpad. Nice 120Hz screen. [...] Feels snappy. [...] The $1300 difference for the same performance is a strong selling point for the Zenbook which is 96% as good as an M2.”

  • “I have a HP pavilion x360 with a 11th gen I3... you kinda just have to get used to the "high pitched fan noise" 😂, especially now that its a whopping 4 years old, I confirmed it was the rear grill that was making the impeller blade whistle as they spin, and coil whine is very noticeable...”

  • “I've been using an asus zenbook 14 OLED with linux. [...] The screen blows apple out completely. [...] The fan noise and battery life are worse than Apple. The keyboard feels better to type on, the trackpad is slightly worse, but not enough to annoy me. [...]”

Common ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED problems

Issues at least two owners independently report.

  • Battery & charging2 mentions

    “[...] Coming from a Surface Laptop Go 2, and a Surface Pro 8 before that, the build quality on the Zenbook Duo feels worse. Even a Zenbook 14 OLED (2024) that I purchased around the same time seems like it has better quality at half the price. The Bluetooth is finicky, it has no Miracast support, and the wireless keyboard battery seems to have degraded considerably in just a couple of months, to name a few issues. There’s also questionable design choices, like not making the pop-out stand run edge-to-edge the way Surface does, and not including any way for the keyboard’s top portion to anchor itself when placed on the secondary screen, among others. It’s like a beta product at a premium price, but the form factor is definitely what appealed to me. Sadly, there’s not many other choices in that area, except for the Yoga Book 9i and maybe a MacBook with an iPad anchored atop the screen.”
