With its angular profile and subtle but distinctive spun-metal finish on the front panel, the ZenBook 14X OLED IS unmistakably a ZenBook. It comes in Pine Grey, which is supposed to be a light shade of grey but ends up looking like black most of the time. Build quality is good. There's little flex in the chassis and the notebook generally feels like a quality item.
The highlight of this notebook is its 14inch OLED display with a resolution of 2880 x1800 pixels. ASUS says it covers 100% of the P3 colour space, is Pantone validated, and has 550 nits of brightness. As you'd expect, blacks are a particular highlight, but equally important, other colours look vivid but realistic and the display gets sufficiently bright. It makes even a great IPS display look pedestrian.
At 16.9mm and 1.4kg, it's slightly chunkier and heavier than other similarly-sized ZenBooks. There are good reasons for that: it has better ports and discrete graphics. Apart from two USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports, it also has a full-sized HDMI 2.Ob port, a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port, a 3.5mm audio jack, and a microSD card reader.
