Ignore him. He's a spammer and makes bogus comments like this on every other laptop thread.
He recently posted a subpar Mac mini desktop and has spammed literally every other Mac mini thread with his posted deal's link which is already in negative votes.

Community Reviews

The ZenBook 14 stands out as a thin OLED touchscreen laptop with strong everyday performance from the Ultra 7 255H, and the open box price around $535 to $650 makes it look attractive for the hardware. The 14 inch display, 16GB memory, and 512GB SSD fit a portable productivity setup, and the chip is framed as better for brute force work than AI focused Lunar Lake parts. The main drawbacks are soldered RAM, a low 13 TOPS NPU rating, and reports of loud fan behavior. Screen clarity and speakers also drew criticism, making it a solid compact option if those tradeoffs are acceptable.

Common Questions (5)

  • The Ultra 7 255H configuration is listed at 13 TOPS, which is low compared with newer AI-focused chips. That means it is less geared toward heavy on-device AI features than Lunar Lake parts like the 256V/258V.

    kabukichomdcumming1974Elon69Lukeed

  • At $650, it is considered decent but not standout against alternatives like the HP OmniBook X Flip 14 or Samsung Book 5 Pro. The main tradeoffs are 16GB/512GB storage, the 255H chip, and a weaker AI/NPU spec versus some competing OLED models with more RAM or storage.

    HilariousNest1471sillywabbittwixTakeMeToYourDealerSlickfriendly

  • The 258V is better for TOPS and AI use, while the 255H is better on paper for brute-force processing but draws more power. The 255H is also described as having a lower iGPU and less AI focus than the Lunar Lake 256V/258V chips.

    LukeedLukeed

  • The fan can run constantly and be loud even under light use, and the OLED screen has been described as oddly blurry, possibly because of the digitizer layer. The speakers have also been described as very poor.

    DeathmunkyIndigoSparrow415

  • The 16GB RAM is soldered, so it is not user-upgradeable. That makes the configuration fixed at purchase, which matters if you want more memory later.

I actually did get the AC charger with the open box fair on this last time when it went on sale. However, when I bought the S 16, I didn't get the AC. Do you know if they do price match on open boxes?

No, they don't price match open boxes.

Read the description, next to NPU it says 13 TOPS. Trillions of operations per second. A way to compare the AI ability of hardware.

The OmniBook X Flip is 3k OLED that 120 hz display. If that was the one you are fearing to.OmniBook is better and cheaper.... but this is Ultra Core 7

13 TOPS seems pretty low if 45 is minimum (or was it 40 TOPS for CoPilot). not that I care about it but eventually other software can use the NPU and more the better at some point.
