日本ASUS Zenbook Pro 16X OLED (UX7602) review – a truly magical device
Temperatures and comfort, Battery Life
Max CPU load
In this test we use 100% on the CPU cores, monitoring their frequencies and chip temperature. The first column shows a computer’s reaction to a short load (2-10 seconds), the second column simulates a serious task (between 15 and 30 seconds), and the third column is a good indicator of how good the laptop is for long loads such as video rendering.

| Dell Precision 15 3571 | 2.95 GHz @ 2.37 GHz @ 74°C @ 80W | 3.00 GHz @ 2.37 GHz @ 80°C @ 80W | 2.37 GHz @ 1.88 GHz @ 71°C @ 52W |
| ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 15 G533 (2022) | 4.00 GHz @ 3.06 GHz @ 77°C @ 126W | 3.97 GHz @ 3.04 GHz @ 85°C @ 125W | 3.93 GHz @ 2.96 GHz @ 86°C @ 121W |
| ASUS ROG Flow Z13 (GZ301) | 3.54 GHz @ 2.68 GHz @ 64°C @ 95W | 3.04 GHz @ 2.48 GHz @ 70°C @ 83W | 2.45 GHz @ 2.07 GHz @ 67°C @ 50W |
We are positively surprised by Zenbook Pro 16X OLED (UX7602)’s vapor chamber cooling solution. It not only runs at high clocks on both its P-cores and E-cores, but it also manages to sustain these frequencies throughout the entire test.

When put side by side with one of its main competitors – the HP Envy 16 (16-h0000), the Zenbook Pro 16X OLED doesn’t even hesitate. It chews up and spits out its opponent with clock speeds more than 100MHz higher, and temperatures about 10°C lower. Long live the vapor chamber.
Comfort during full load
You should prepare yourself for some noise. With that said, the laptop is not nearly as loud as some of its direct competitors. And the lifted keyboard has one major advantage in terms of temperature – it doesn’t heat up whatsoever.
Battery
Now, we conduct the battery tests with the Windows Better performance setting turned on, screen brightness adjusted to 120 nits and all other programs turned off except for the one we are testing the notebook with. To fit it accordingly, this beast is fitted with a huge 96Wh battery pack. It lasts for 11 hours and 11 minutes of Web browsing, or 8 hours and 20 minutes of video playback.
In order to simulate real-life conditions, we used our own script for automatic web browsing through over 70 websites.
For every test like this, we use the same video in HD.
