Unusual design and small exterior screen are supposed to allow the new slim and light mobile from the great Taiwanese manufacturer to stand out and shine above the competition
We have already met on secondary screens, on the opposite side of the main, on some smartphones – so maybe it’s time to try this idea on computers as well? Asus agrees and volunteers to implement and demonstrate to us, with its Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition.
The name is long and luxurious and so is the look of this mobile, with a golden-golden hue that you got the name Zero-G Titanium and delicate decorations on the outside and inside that from certain angles may look like unfortunate scratches, but closely help strengthen the futuristic and spaceship approach the company hoped to give. Also reflected in a 3.5-inch secondary OLED screen that can be customized through a dedicated and built-in application inside the top of the laptop. Who decided that Always-On Display should be limited to mobile only?
Also in terms of performance, the compact computer weighs 1.4 kilograms and is less than 16 millimeters thick – with a choice of the most powerful H-processors in Intel’s new Alder Lake generation, starting with the Core i5-12500H with 12 physical processing cores, Through the Core i7-12700H with 14 processing cores to the Core i9-12900H with 14 cores at increased frequencies in the most advanced versions, alongside 8GB to 32GB of LPDDR5 memory at 4,800MT / s, between 512GB and terabytes of NVMe storage in the generation PCI-Express 4.0 which reaches continuous speeds of up to 6,500 GB per second, Windows 11 system and an advanced OLED screen from Samsung with a resolution of 2,880 × 1,800 pixels, a refresh rate of up to 90 Hz, coverage of 100 percent of the color complex in the DCI standard. P3, high maximum brightness of up to 550 nits and compliance with the DisplayHDR 500 TrueBlack standard, individual color calibration for each panel in Pantone authentication, 1,000,000: 1 contrast and the ability to support touch gestures with fingers and touch pens.
The special Zenbook 14X was created to mark 25 years since the first Asus computers arrived in outer space, and declares compliance with a dedicated American standard for products tested and found suitable for space work, in addition to compliance with the MIL-STD-810H military standard that indicates shock and fall resistance.
On your computer you will find a pair of Thunderbolt 4 connections based on a physical UBS Type-C interface, one USB 3.1 Gen.2 connection in a physical Type-A interface, one full-size HDMI 2.0b connection, a slot for microSD cards and a headphone and unified microphone slot, Harman / branded speakers Kardon with Dolby Atmos support, advanced Wi-Fi 6E connectivity and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity next to it, a touchpad that also functions as a virtual NumPad, a fingerprint scanner built into the on and off button, a 720p resolution webcam with a physical shutter for increased privacy, array of four walls Heat-conducting tubes and a pair of fans, a keyboard with a nice 1.4mm compression depth and a 63-watt-hour built-in battery.
The Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition is set to hit stores in the second quarter of this year, at a price that has yet to be revealed but is unlikely to be the cheapest for compact Alder Lake mobiles – and will stand at $ 1,200 or north according to our personal guess.
