ASUS ZenBook 14 in-depth review

As soon as you open the box, and take the ZenBook 14 UM425 out of it, you can tell that this laptop is designed for portability. Its incredibly slim and light chassis is packed with some neat technology advancements that will improve the user experience.Actually, a little while back, we got the ZenBook 14 UX425, which can be considered, as a twin to the laptop we have today. However, in comparison to the AMD Ryzen 4000U processors, the Ice Lake counterparts were a bit underwhelming on the UX device.So, what should you expect from a laptop aimed at travelers? As we said - great portability, decent battery life, and thanks to AMD - tons of performance. Also, ASUS is promising 100% sRGB coverage and up to 22 hours of battery life, both of which will be checked in a couple of minutes.[...]

This laptop is basically the AMD version of the ZenBook 14 UX425.

Remove the bottom plate Pretty much in a similar fashion to the ZenBook 14 UX425, you need to remove the back feet to access the last two Torx-head screws. After you undo all of them, you can pry the bottom panel with a plastic tool.2. Battery T[...]
