After testing the AMD version of the ZenBook 13 Oled, we are evaluating the version with the 11th generation Intel processor, which also gains two Thunderbolt 4 ports instead of USB-C.
The Asus Zenbook 13 Oled UX325EA is a very good ultraportable. It embeds an OLED panel which displays a perfect contrast, but also an imprecise colorimetry. We will especially remember its autonomy of almost 11 hours and the good performance of its Intel processor, and this is what is most important for an ultraportable.
Strong points
- Autonomy.
- Contrast on the Oled panel.
- Charging flexibility.
- Windows Hello webcam.
- Thunderbolt 4.
Weak points
- Soldered memory.
- Take no take.
- Screen calibration.
- Shiny slab.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (so-called “grey” shops, characteristic in case of import from China).
Alternatively
By taking over the MagicBook Pro on its own, Huawei has corrected its main defect (the keyboard) and retained its main strong point (its screen). We’d rather like a slightly newer processor, like an AMD Ryzen 5 5600H with Zen 3 architecture. Autonomy is however correct. We will finally settle for a free M.2 slot instead.
