Title: Asus ZenBook 14 UX435EG Review: Compact, mobile multimedia allrounder with an unnecessary touchscreen
Post by: Redaktion on January 09, 2021, 17:33:29
In the ZenBook 14, Asus uses the current top technology: a Tiger-Lake processor, GeForce MX450 graphics core, 16 GB of working memory (quad-channel mode), and Thunderbolt 4. A 63-Wh battery ensures a good battery life.

A touchscreen?  Seriously?  They do NOT belong on laptops, only 2 in 1s and tablets.   Come on Asus, this is not a checkbox item.  Put a better matte screen in it instead.

Great article, merci! A shame that Asus is still struggling to bring out anything similar to a ThinkPad in terms of quality and keyboards. #LoveTrump Maybe the Asus G14 will have a longer lasting keyboard as the 1st gen's paint chipped after  few months.

Touchscreen is absolutely quintessential. At this point, I wouldn't even consider buying a laptop, or any mobile PC, that lacks a touchscreen option.
Thank god Asus has the sense to include one, as well as an HDMI port and PgUp, PgDn, Home, End buttons.

I can't wait to have cervical disc disease from always bending my neck while sitting and looking down at my trackpad. Thanks ASUS! Your ergonomics team is spooktacular.

Screenpad is the most useless gimmicky crap ever invented. Instead they should put physical touchpad buttons and a pointing stick there.

with an unnecessary touchscreen
with an unnecessary glossy screen
with an unnecessary GPU
with an unnecessary light up touchpad

and it is too small. 

Where is the 15" version with a nice 1980x1200 screen, no gpu, no glossy screen, no light up touchpad, and an $800 US price?

Loved the touchscreen, functional and absolutely mandatory.
Loved the glossy screen, more vibrant colors without blurry pixels.
Loved the dGPU, Nvidia Cuda and various driver optimizations is very much relevant.
Loved the mini-screen touchpad, better than nothing and useful when you might need it in a pinch.

Oh, and definitely the right size for portability and reduced weight over a sea of heavy, underpowered 15" ultrabooks.
