I am really pleased with the size, speed and performance of this machine. I purchased it to run a cnc cutting machine and have not had any issues or problems with it.
Nice laptop but I hate the keyboard. Ny previous ASUS laptop, a UX325E, had a much better feeling keyboard. The 3405 keyboard feels cheap and plastic.

I absolutely *love* almost everything about the **ASUS Zenbook 14**—except the battery, which unfortunately is a deal-breaker for me.
The **design is stunning**. It’s thin, lightweight, premium, and one of the most beautiful Windows laptops I’ve owned. The **OLED display is gorgeous**—sharp, vibrant, and a joy to use for work, media, and browsing. Performance is excellent for daily productivity, multitasking, and professional use. The keyboard is comfortable, the trackpad is solid, and overall the laptop feels fast, smooth, and well-engineered.
In short: 👉 **This is one of my favorite laptops in terms of look, feel, and performance.**
However… the **battery life is genuinely disappointing**.
For a premium ultrabook in this price range, I expected *reliable all-day battery life*. Instead, I find myself worrying about charging far more than I should. Standby drain is noticeable, and real-world battery performance falls well below expectations.
That’s the frustrating part: This laptop is *so close* to being perfect.
I bought it in **January 2026**, and even though it’s still new, I’ve decided to **switch to another Zenbook model purely because of the battery**. Not because I dislike the device—but because battery life is critical for my daily workflow. * ✔ Amazing design and build quality * ✔ Beautiful OLED screen * ✔ Strong performance * ✔ Great keyboard and overall user experience * ❌ **Weak real-world battery life**
If you mostly work **plugged in**, you’ll probably love this laptop. If you need **long, worry-free battery life**, this model may disappoint you—just like it did me.
ASUS got almost everything right here. Unfortunately, the battery holds this otherwise amazing Zenbook back.

Great Travel Laptop -- they need to update drivers

Frequency of use:Daily
Verified Purchase:Yes
I like this laptop a lot. It has a quick processor and 32GB of RAM. However, Asus should ship with up-to-date drivers. I initially had trouble with a screen freeze when running a GPU intensive application. Once I updated the drivers all is well.
