It features a 120Hz refresh rate, 2.8K resolution, and of course - infinite contrast ratio. You can rely on refreshed AMD Zen 3+ U-series CPU options which sounds like a logical decision given the compact dimensions.

    Disassembly, maintenance and upgrade options

    Step 1: Accessing the Internal ComponentsEnsure the ASUS Zenbook 15 OLED (UM3504) is powered off and placed on a soft, clean surface to avoid damage. Remove the 7 Torx-head screws from the laptop's back, starting from the top corners.
