Asus Zenbook 14 (UX434F) Review ¶
Published on June 30, 2020
The Asus Zenbook 14 (UX434F) is a compact and lightweight laptop that packs a 14-inch display in a 13-inch form factor. With a starting price of KES. 140,000, it's a high-end device that offers impressive performance and features.
One of the standout features of the Zenbook 14 is its compact design. Measuring just 1.26Kgs, it's easy to carry around and fits comfortably in a backpack. The 65W charger is also compact, making it a great option for those who hate heavy chargers.
The laptop's build quality is also impressive, with a metal finish that gives it a premium feel. The Royal Blue color scheme is subtle yet eye-catching, and the gold finishes on the top of the keyboard add a touch of elegance.
One of the most useful features of the Zenbook 14 is its IR Camera, which allows for fast and secure login using Windows Hello. This feature is a game-changer for those who value convenience and security.
However, the ScreenPad 2.0 feature, which turns the touchpad into a secondary display, is a bit of a mixed bag. While it's a cool feature to show off to friends, it's not something that I found myself using regularly. The touchpad itself is excellent, with smooth and well-optimized gestures.
Overall, the Asus Zenbook 14 (UX434F) is a great option for those who value compact design, impressive performance, and premium features. With a starting price of KES. 140,000, it's a high-end device that's worth considering.
