If you’re looking for a work laptop that can be used for a bit of entertainment on the side, then this is it. As someone who is always physically on the go, I always bring my work with me and it’s a must to be always on the lookout for devices that can keep up with my fast-paced life without adding a lot of weight on my shoulders. In fact, the people that I’ve met with outside work hours can attest to this! Speaking of devices that can keep up, here’s another one to consider: The ASUS ZenBook 13 OLED (UX325).

TRUE-TO-LIFE VISUALS, COMPACT BUILD

My work involves checking a lot of digital materials, so having a laptop that provides true-to-life colors is a must and this is something that the ZenBook 13 OLED proudly carries – an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) in a compact 13-inch laptop. Its bezels are also thin even though the camera is placed on top. Users can definitely enjoy its FHD HDR OLED NanoEdge display with 400nits brightness even when working under bright lights. You can use it for graphics work, photo and video editing, reviewing videos, creating presentations, and more with the help of its Pantone Matching System as well. However, even though the display is intensely good, users don’t need to worry about damaging their eyes as this laptop is TÜV Rheinland-certified for eye care. The screen may also seem small but the size is just right for people who have their laptops in their bags all the time.

Since it only weighs 1.14kg, it won’t be an issue to carry it around wherever you go. It’s only 13.9 mm thin so you can also squeeze it in your bag easily. This is something you can do with confidence as the ZenBook 13 OLED is quite durable with Military Grade MIL-STD-810G – a standard for reliability and durability. It even comes with a free laptop sleeve for added protection!

The keyboard size isn’t an issue for me since I have small hands but this may be something to consider if you’re used to wider types of keyboards. The ZenBook 13 OLED has an edge-to-edge keyboard design so there’s no space wasted. Even the trackpad has been fully maximized to make entering numbers easier with its NumberPad 2.0 feature.  

POWERFUL PERFORMANCE

Despite being small, this laptop packs a powerful punch when it comes to performance as it’s powered by the latest 11^th Gen Intel Core processor with Iris Xe graphics. The one we got has an i5 processor and it can keep up very well with work tasks and even a bit of gaming on the side.

Unlocking the device is also very easy with its IR camera with Windows Hello. It can easily detect your face, except when it’s too dark, of course. It’s clear enough for online meetings and it’s being supported by a built-in microphone that can deliver clear audio.

The I/O ports are also very convenient as it includes multiple Thunderbolt 4 ports, a full-size HDMI, and a USB-A.

13-HOUR BATTERY LIFE

8 hours of work and 5 hours of play sounds good, right? This is doable with the ASUS ZenBook 13 OLED’s 67Wh battery, which is capable of providing up to 13 hours of battery life. If that’s not enough for you, it’s worth noting that this laptop can also charge pretty fast with almost a full charge in just 30 minutes.
