The new ultimate working from home laptop, Asus Zenbook 13 OLED

Tech geeks are on a zenith as the year comes to a close following the launch of a new slim, powerful, business class Asus ultra book.

The Asus Zenbook 13 OLED comes with well furbished features, an upgrade from previous releases over the past years.

It comes fitted with an Intel Core i7-1165G7 processor, a 2.8GHz processing speed, 1 TB drive capacity, 16 GB RAM all on a 13.3 inch 1080p OLED display.

The new Asus premium boasts great features ranging from an elegant, incredibly slim and lightweight ultrabook, great performance, outstanding battery life, and a stunning OLED display.

Design

The Asus ZenBook 13 OLED UX325 comes in an original, gray box bearing the ZenBook logo. 

With a 13.3-inch display, the ZenBook 13 weighs just 1. A remarkable engineering achievement by Asus.

Precision-engineered ErgoLift hinge

In order to increase typing comfort, the keyboard base is slightly angled upwards when the lid is opened. 

Asus laptops have featured this ErgoLift hinge for several years now, and its angle is pleasing to those who prefer it while staying small enough not to annoy those who prefer their keyboards flat. It has sturdy keys and wonderfully quiet key switches. 

With its Core i7-1165G7 processor, even a heavy load of tabs is no problem for Intel's 11th-generation processors. Its unit came with 8GB of RAM, and 1TB of SSD storage is perfect for day-to-day work use. 

In gaming and media, it does quite well. On games like Asphalt 9, Modern Combat 5, Red Dead Redemption, Overwatch, League of Legends, Rocket League, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider, the Zenbook 13 maintains playable frame rates.

No charger? No problem! Travelling without a charger isn't a problem when you have the 13-hour battery life of Asus ZenBook 13 OLED. 

You'll be ready to go in no time with its fast-charging feature, which can restore the battery to 60% charge in just 49 minutes.

In a sum up, the Asus Zenbook 13 OLED gives stellar battery life (13 hours, 12 minutes), seamless phone integration, excellent design, compact size and slim body, quiet operation cooling system all at a moderate cost.

However, everything always bears its pros and cons. While boasting its well refined features, it lacks a headphone jack and lacks an option for 4K display or touch screen.

The devices are available at Text Book Centre at Ksh.158,000/- for the Asus ZenBook UX325EA i7 16GB 512GB, and Ksh.140,000/- for the Asus ZenBook UX325 i7 8GB 512GB.
