This ZenBook 14 stands out as a lightweight premium travel laptop with strong specs, a good keyboard, and solid build quality. The 2.82 pound chassis and 32GB of LPDDR5X memory make it feel fast and portable, and the 1TB SSD can be upgraded. The main drawbacks are the 60Hz OLED panel, which feels like a step down from higher refresh options, and the screen can dim and brighten in a finicky way, especially with Windows night mode. Port placement and Linux compatibility are also worth checking, making it a compact pick if portability matters more than display polish.

Common Questions (5)

  • The LPDDR5X memory is soldered, so the RAM is not user-replaceable. The 32GB configuration is therefore fixed, which matters if you want future memory upgrades.

  • No, this configuration is listed with a 60Hz OLED panel. A 120Hz option existed in last year's ZenBook 14 lineup, but this 285H model does not appear to include it.

  • It weighs 2.82 lbs, making it a lightweight 14-inch laptop for carrying around. The compact size and low weight make it better suited to portability than a heavier desktop-replacement machine.

  • The SSD can be swapped out, and one owner upgraded the drive from 512GB to 2TB. That makes storage expansion possible even though the RAM is soldered.

  • The OLED panel can slightly dim and brighten, especially with Windows Night mode enabled. That behavior was noticeable enough for one buyer to return it, even though the specs are strong for the price.

I bought this Zenbok from Bestbuy a few months ago for the same sale price $899.99 and I like it. It's a great travel laptop at 2.82 lbs and it's pretty darn quick. I came from an older Asus Zenbook 3 Deluxe (2017) which still works fine. If it's like my older Asus and I'm quite sure it is, the ram is not replaceable but I did swap out the SSD drive from 512 GB to 2 TB.

Someone mentioned it wasn't. Also, LPDDR5X is always going to be soldered RAM. If you ever see that, just assume it's not user replaceable RAM.

60hz is probably a dealbreaker

GREAT price for the spec!

not sure why the intended users of this computer would need more than 32gb of LPDDR5X ram...

You'll have to check out their other product lines then. ZenBooks don't cater to the people who crave the higher refresh rates.

Same, or >FHD. I picked up the 255H/16GB RAM version of this for under $600 and while this is a good deal, the premium doesn't seem worth it.

Great build quality and nice keyboard on these.

Seems fantastic (assuming Linux compatibility) except for the awful port arrangement. Screen could be a bit better, but it's definitely still good.

Bought and returned due to the OLED screen being finicky. It autofocuses slightly dims and brightens not drastically but present. It is especially bad when you put windows in night mode. Premium specs for price tho

Last year they had this same series of laptops (with the 155H processor) they had at least 1 sku with a 2880x1800 120Hz display.
Here's this year's version - https://www.bestbuy.com/product/a...JJGGLQV6QY but obviously not as good of a deal. I'm sure it will go on sale at some point.
