ASUS - Zenbook 14X 14.5" 2.8K OLED Touch Laptop - Intel Evo Platform i5-13500H - 8GB Memory - 512GB SSD - Inkwell Gray

After several weeks of using the ASUS ZenBook 14X, I'm thoroughly impressed, particularly with its display capabilities. The 14.5-inch 2.8K OLED touchscreen is the star of the show. As someone who's used to high-end displays, I was skeptical about what "budget" could offer, but this laptop proved me wrong. Display Quality: The OLED screen is stunning. The color accuracy and contrast levels are top-notch, making photo editing a much more precise task. The 120Hz refresh rate is a game-changer, especially when scrolling through web pages or working on animations. It's smooth and responsive, a feature I didn't expect at this price point. Performance: Powered by the Intel Evo platform with an i5-13500H processor, it handles multitasking effortlessly. I've had multiple tabs and applications open without any noticeable lag. The 8GB RAM seems adequate, though for heavier tasks, more would be preferable. Build and Design: The laptop's build quality is solid. It's lightweight and portable, making it easy to carry around. The Inkwell Gray finish gives it a professional look, which I appreciate in work settings. Battery Life: Battery performance is decent, lasting around 7-8 hours on a typical workday. It's not groundbreaking, but it's sufficient for most needs. Sound and Keyboard: The sound quality is good for a laptop, and the keyboard is comfortable for long typing sessions, though it lacks a numeric keypad, which might be a downside for some. Final Thoughts: Overall, the ASUS ZenBook 14X is a fantastic choice for those who prioritize display quality and portability. It's a budget-friendly laptop that doesn't feel "budget" in its performance and build. While it's not a gaming powerhouse or a heavy-duty workstation, for everyday productivity and media consumption, it's more than capable. The OLED display is the clear standout feature, making it a joy to use for both work and play.

For the price this is an excellent laptop. I love the screen, the build quality, the keyboard (which lights up), the features, the battery, and how smooth it is. The pages for browsing the internet load super-fast and this laptop play well on games like Fortnite, at least through the cloud. This laptop's battery lasts so long for me even at 120Hz. It's a good laptop for college too! The design is sleek, and the laptop is so lightweight. There is no fan noise at least for me when running games like Fortnite or Minecraft (with shaders) and other programs such as Stellarium. I have an iPhone and it still works with it, I have access to all my iCloud photos and can answer call and texts with the Link to Windows/Phone Link app. I couldn't be happier to have this laptop.

I bought the laptop on sale for around 600 bucks, including taxes. The 2.8k 120hz touch display, the built quality and the performance from 13th Gen H series are the pros and cons are there is no fingerprint scanner to unlock. But windows hello is there so face recognition unlock work pretty fast and only 8 GB of DDR5 and I don't think it would be sufficient and there is no Ram upgrade option in laptop but In the current market i feel it is best laptop for 600 bucks.
