Everyone’s laptop needs are different, and this is why we have such different devices. Today we have a notebook that we would describe as the perfect device for on-the-go Creator and office work. It is for the high-level executives, who want to stand out in the board room.
For that job, you need the ASUS ZenBook 14X OLED (UX5401, 11th Gen), which has power-efficient processors, integrated graphics, and fantastic display options. Alder Lake is out of the question for now, and this is why this laptop relies on the Tiger Lake U-platform.
Today we are presenting you with LaptopMedia’s top 5 picks about the ASUS ZenBook 14X OLED (UX5401, 11th Gen).
ASUS ZenBook 14X OLED (UX5401, 11th Gen): Full Specs / In-depth Review
4 reasons to BUY the ASUS ZenBook 14X OLED (UX5401, 11th Gen)
1. Design and build quality
Being a ZenBook, the device uses an aluminum chassis with a thin profile of 15.9 mm and a weight of 1.40 kg. The lid also sports the traditional for ZenBooks brushed lid pattern, which is circular and is a clear identifier of the brand. The durability is superb, with the lid being exceptionally strong, thanks to both the metal construction and the glass display cover, which is there to protect the screen from scratches.
The lid opens easily with one hand, and the hinges have a very smooth operation. It also has an ErgoLift mechanism, which propels the rear end of the notebook, giving the fans on the bottom more room to breathe. This reveals tiny bezels, a webcam on top, and an edge-to-edge keyboard, which for a low-profile unit, works great, with decent key travel and clicky feedback. The touchpad is large, has a glass cover, and works well with the display. It can also act as a NumPad with a single slide.
2. Display quality
Speaking of the display, here we tested a 14-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2.8K (2880 x 1800p) and a 90Hz refresh rate. It has excellent viewing angles, a max brightness of 370 nits in the middle of the screen, 369 nits as an average, and a maximum deviation of only 2%. Due to the nature of OLED panels, the contrast ratio is infinite. The display fully covers the sRGB and DCI-P3 color gamuts.
The accuracy, however, isn’t the best, with the stock settings delivering a dE value of 3.8.
There is also the PWM usage, which is very aggressive up to 89 nits, after which it switches to light pulsations, which should be fine even for prolonged periods of time.

Genom att köpa LaptopMedias produkter stödjer du inte bara effektiva och hälsovänliga profiler utan även utvecklingen av våra laboratorier, där vi testar enheter för att kunna göra så objektiva recensioner som möjligt.
Kontorsarbete
Office Work bör främst användas av användare som tillbringar den mesta tiden med att titta på textstycken, tabeller eller bara surfa. Den här profilen syftar till att ge bättre tydlighet och klarhet genom att behålla en platt gammakurva (2,20), ursprunglig färgtemperatur och perceptuellt korrekta färger.
Design och spel
Den här profilen riktar sig till designers som arbetar professionellt med färger, även för spel och filmer. Design and Gaming tar skärmpaneler till sina gränser och gör dem så exakta som möjligt i sRGB IEC61966-2-1-standarden för webb och HDTV, vid vitpunkt D65.
Health-Guard
Health-Guard eliminerar skadlig pulsbreddsmodulering (PWM) och minskar negativt blått ljus som påverkar våra ögon och vår kropp. Eftersom den är skräddarsydd för varje panel lyckas den hålla färgerna perceptuellt korrekta. Health-Guard simulerar papper så att trycket på ögonen minskas kraftigt.

3. I/O
The laptop is decently populated with ports, offering one USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen 2), two Thunderbolt 4 ports, an HDMI 2.0b connector, a MicroSD card reader, and a 3.5 mm audio jack.
4. Battery life
Despite its high-resolution panels, the laptop manages to provide decent battery life from its 63Wh battery pack. The laptop lasted for 11 hours and 7 minutes of Web browsing, or 7 hours and 58 minutes of video playback. Now, we conduct the battery tests with 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.
1 reason NOT to buy the ASUS ZenBook 14X OLED (UX5401, 11th Gen)
1. Upgradeability
As with most small premium notebooks, there is next to no upgradeability. There are either 8 or 16GB of DDR4 RAM working in quad-channel mode, so at least the CPU and iGPU will make the most out of it. In terms of storage, there is a single M.2 PCIe x4 slot, which supports Gen 4 drives.
Here is our detailed teardown video, which shows how to access the storage slot.
