Last year, I reviewed the Asus ZenBook Pro 15 UX580GD, a 15-inch laptop with a secondary touchscreen doubling up on the trackpad. This innovation, the ScreenPad, turned a powerful laptop into something that stood out from the crowd.
Asus has worked on the concept, launching 13-, 14-, and 15-inch laptops with an updated ScreenPad. I was sent the 14-inch ZenBook 14 UX434FL, which is available in two versions in the UK: with a Core i5-8265U processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD (£1,099 inc. VAT; £915.83 ex. VAT); and with a Core i7-8565U CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD (£1,299 inc. VAT). I looked at the high-end Core i7 version.
The ScreenPad might be the ZenBook 14 UX434FL's headline feature, but there's a lot else to like. This is a laptop with great build, an impressive speaker setup, and some very nice internal specifications.
