ASUS ZenBook 13 UX325 and 14 UX425 ultrabooks bring slim and powerful to the masses from RM3,999

ASUS is looking to corner the ultrabook market and their latest incarnation of the ZenBook, which comes in two sizes dubbed the ZenBook 13 UX325 and the ZenBook 14 UX 425, aims to hit all the high points of the ultraportable experience with a slim chassis, high performance, long battery life and – above all – a price tag that won’t have you hocking house and home.

The new ASUS ZenBook 13 UX325 and ZenBook 14 UX425 both are a mere 13.9mm thin and weigh around 1.07kg, making them very man-portable. Better yet, the new ZenBook range are rated to meet MIL-STD-810G standards for durability, which makes them tough indeed with resistance to modest drops from 100mm.

Both ZenBooks come with different screen sizes with the ZenBook 13 UX325 packing a 13.3-inch Full HD display and the 14-inch ZenBook UX425 a 14-inch Full HD display, both of which have super slim 2.9mm thin bezels.

Under the hood, you can have both ultraportables with your choice of either a 10th Gen Intel Core i7-1065G7 or Intel Core i5-1035G1 processor. Packed with each ZenBook is 8GB DDR4 3,200MHz RAM and a 512GB SSD as well as Intel Iris Plus graphics.

While they’re exceptionally thin, they don’t compromise the productive experience in the slightest as they have a pair of Thunderbolt USB-C ports that let you charge the laptop and port a video feed out to a 4K display, a full sized USB Type-A 3.2 Gen 1 port, a HDMI port and a microSD card reader too. 

Belying their size, both the ZenBook 13 UX325 and ZenBook 14 UX425 both boast keyboards that stretch nearly from edge to edge while packing their novel NumberPad 2.0 which is an underlay added to the touchpad so you have the equivalent of a functional numeric keypad in an ultraportable chassis.

Other mod-cons include Harman Kardon tuned stereo speakers, WiFi 6 802.11ax and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity. Keeping things powered on both models is a 67Wh battery that’s rated to offer 22 hours of battery life.

Both the ZenBook 13 UX325 and ZenBook 14 UX425 have similar pricing that differs based on what CPU they use so you’re primarily investing in screen size.
