Best value OLED notebook
The ZenBook 14 OLED (UX3402) is part of ASUS’ new 2022 ZenBook lineup. Though you won’t mistake it for anything other than a ZenBook, it does have some significant design changes.
The lid no longer features the signature ZenBook concentric circles. Instead, it has geometric lines inspired by ZenBook’s new monogram “A” logo. And in the corner, a subtle label reminding you that this is indeed an ASUS ZenBook.
The ZenBook 14 OLED has an all-aluminium body. Its weight is an entirely decent 1.39kg and its thickness is 16.9mm. In my hands, it feels neither overly cumbersome nor super light. There’s a tiny bit of flex if you exert enough pressure on the chassis, but perhaps what’s more important to know is that the notebook meets the MIL-STD-810H standard for durability.
This means it has some resistance to extreme temperatures and humidity, vibration, and drops.
The highlight has to be the 14-inch OLED display. It has a resolution of 2880 x 1800 pixels and a 90Hz refresh rate. It also supports 100% of the DCI-P3 colour space, is Pantone-validated, and meets VESA’s DisplayHDR True Black 500 requirements. It’s a technically impressive display for sure, and it’s just as brilliant in real life. It’s sharp, crisp, wonderfully vivid, and blacks are truly inky black. It’s a big step up from the IPS LCD panels you see on most notebooks (even very good ones).

MEANINGFUL REFINEMENT
Now I’ve been reviewing smartwatches and activity trackers for a long time, and the Watch GT 5 Pro is the first watch to actually get attention from my wife, complimenting its looks in the way of a classy wristwatch.
BIGGER DISPLAY, BUT WHAT ELSE?
My initial impression of the Pixel Watch 2 was that it felt like a round Fitbit Sense 2 running Wear OS. The tradeoff was losing iOS compatibility while still facing Fitbit’s paywall for advanced app features.
