User Experience

Thoughtful design

  • 180° ErgoLift hinge
  • Fingerprint login
  • NumberPad11
Zenbook 14X OLED features a precision-engineered, lay-flat ErgoLift hinge that tilts the rear of the laptop slightly when opened to make typing more comfortable. It also makes it easy to share content with others, or collaborate with a group of people around a table.
Zenbook 14X OLED has a fingerprint sensor on the power button for easy and secure one-touch login with Windows Hello.
Zenbook 14X OLED is available with the innovative ASUS NumberPad 2.0, a dual-function touchpad with an integrated LED-illuminated numeric keypad. Even when NumberPad is activated, the touchpad can be used for cursor control thanks to its intelligent software.

KEYBOARD AND TOUCHPAD

Brilliantly nuanced ErgoSense keyboard and touchpad

Top view of two hands typing on a laptop fitted with an ErgoSense keyboard.

Full-sized keyboard
19.05 mm

It’s time to say hello to ErgoSense, and goodbye to cramped laptop keyboards! The full-size 19.05 mm key pitch is the same as a desktop keyboard, so you can whizz through your work with superb typing comfort and accuracy.

Dished key caps
0.2 mm

The 0.2 mm key-cap dish is designed to match the shape of your fingertips. The smooth-edged indent is carefully crafted for a comfortable yet precise feel, so your fingers are gently guided to the ideal contact point with the keys.

Long key travel
1.4 mm

Good tactile feedback is important to let you know that your key press has been registered. The long 1.4 mm key travel lets you type without having to use too much force. And underneath the key, there’s a rubber dome crafted by keyboard experts here at ASUS. It guarantees your click force is met with just the right tactile bump you need for a nice grip.

Ultra-smooth touchpad

The hydrophobic coating applied to our touchpad has a high water-contact angle. This means the nanotech-like surface provides smoother feedback for every scrolling movement. It’s like touching silk!

Anti-fingerprint touchpad

We apply a high-end PVD anti-fingerprint coating that ensures excellent resistance to wear and tear. This coating also makes the surface really easy to clean. And even after more than 10,000 slides, the touchpad will still be as smooth as new.

  • Based on currently available 14” 4K OLED HDR laptop displays as of September 2021.
  • According to overall laptop thickness, as of April 7, 2021 based on internal ASUS market analysis comparing Zenbook 14X OLED to competing clamshell OLED laptops with a 14-inch OLED screen in 16:10 aspect ratio from vendors including Dell, HP, and Lenovo. Zenbook 14X OLED ranked first in terms of thickness.
  • The visual appearance of OLED displays may change over the product’s lifetime. This is expected behavior that can include image persistence or burn-in, where the display shows a faint remnant of an image even after a new image appears on the screen. This tends to occur only in extreme use cases, such as when a static, high-contrast image is continuously displayed for prolonged periods of time. ASUS laptops with an OLED display minimize this risk by setting Windows 11’s Dark mode as default, as well as shortening the idle time before the screen is turned off — both on mains (AC) and battery (DC) power. This dual approach minimizes the potential for burn-in to maximize the lifespan of your OLED display lifespan, and also reduces unnecessary power draw for optimal battery life. We also recommended adjust the brightness of your OLED display to complement the ambient lighting in your environment, rather than keeping the screen at maximum brightness at all times. You should also ensure that you have an animated, dark-background screensaver enabled in the Windows 11 Settings tool.
  • The stated 3 mm width of the side bezel is the distance between the edge of the non-active screen display area and the inside edge of the case. If the case width is included, the side bezel width is 4.3 mm. Measured based on standard (anti-glare) display configuration. The top bezel width is 5.86 mm and the bottom bezel width is 8.02 mm.
  • Compared to average LCD displays in the market, measuring energy emission of blue light in between 415-455 nm wavelength.

  • Intel® Iris® Xe graphics are only available on models with an Intel Core i5,i7 or i9 processor. All other models use Intel® UHD graphics.
  • WiFi 6E availability may vary by country and their specific regulations. Feature only supported by Windows 11 or later.
  • Weight might vary by specifications.
  • Please note that all versions of NumberPad only work with the Microsoft Windows operating system.
  • The charging speed of a Power Delivery charger will match the connected adapter’s power output, up to a maximum of [100] watts. USB-C® Easy Charge provides 4.5 watt charging when connected to a non-Power Delivery charger, including most portable and USB Type-A to USB-C® chargers. Some portable chargers may not support such features, depending on the configuration.
  • Unless otherwise stated, all performance claims are based on theoretical performance. Actual figures may vary in real-world situations.
  • Zenbook 14X OLED with an Intel 12th Gen processor can support a maximum of four displays: the laptop’s own display, plus three external displays attached to the two Thunderbolt 4 ports and the HDMI port.
