Asus Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition

This space-themed laptop offers some great features for productivity and creative tasks

If you are looking for an unconventionally designed laptop with funky animations, you should probably look at Asus before looking elsewhere. The Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition commemorates the 25th anniversary of its P6300 laptop's maiden space voyage with 600 days aboard the MIR space e station. The Zenbook 14X Space Edition celebrates this with complex graphics and a ZenVision monochrome display, all themed around the cosmos and inter-planetary space.

The Space Edition laptop is beautifully crafted with a sturdy aluminium chassis and a neat Zero-G Titanium colour with a glossy line running along the edges. A series of morse codes and text on the body provide scope for some initial exploration, though the stickers placed all over this spoil the fun. The laptop offers MIL-STD810H U.S. military standard for reliability and durability. The 3.5-inch Zenvision OLED monochrome display offers some animations that can be customised in the MyAsus app but has limited practical utility. With a 15.9 mm thin profile and weighing 1.4 kg, it is perfect size and weight to be carried on your business trips and workcations. I have always loved the keyboards in Asus gaming laptops, and this one gives a similar feel. The Asus ErgoSense full-size keyboard offers 1.4 mm key travel for great tactile feedback. The large touchpad supports multi-touch gestures. The touchpad also houses the Asus NumberPad, which can be activated from an icon on the top right corner. The 720p webcam incorporates an electric privacy shutter, which can be activated with a key.
