    ASUS ZenBook 14 (UX425JA-EB51) in-depth review

    Stylish, elegant, and portable are perhaps the three words that best describe ASUS' ZenBook family of notebooks. Most of our reviews on them have been based on 14nm Intel-equipped devices or Ryzen 3000U laptops, but today, we have our hands on one of the few notebooks that come with Intel Ice Lake processors - the ZenBook 14 UX425.Clearly, its best quality is versatility - with its lightweight body and presumably huge battery life, you can basically take it anywhere you want.

    Disassembly, maintenance and upgrade options

    Perhaps to no surprise, the upgrade options for this notebook are extremely limited. On the bright side, there are still some surprises.Check out all ASUS ZenBook 14 UX425 prices and configurations in our Specs System or read more in our In-Depth review.1. Remove the bottom plate In the same fashion as its 13-inch sibling, this notebook requires the removal of its bottom panel in order to access the internals. Thankfully, this is not difficult at all, and you have to undo 5 Torx-head screws plus two hidden beneath the back rubber feet. After that, pry your way around the laptop [...]
