Product Overview

ASUS ZenBook 13 UX325 w/ 11th-gen Intel processor is a 13.3-inch ultra-thin, ultra-portable laptop. It shares much of the same features found in the UX325 w/ 10th-gen Intel released just a few months earlier; nevertheless, the new Tiger Lake processor brings Thunderbolt 4 connectivity and LPDDR4x 4266MHz memory, a significant boost over the earlier model.

This ultra-thin laptop measures under 15mm thick and just over 1kg. Thanks to ASUS's unique Number Pad integrated into the touchpad, the new UX325 does not sacrifice usability, despite its compact size highlighted by the 88% screen-to-body ratio. In the same vein, a full-size HDMI port is included, as is a USB Type-A port, making dongle-free mobile computing easy.

The sister model of the UX325, the 14-inch UX425, has also received the new 11th-gen Intel upgrade.

The ZenBook 13 UX325 is the latest in the Asus ZenBook line of Ultrabooks. It features a 4-core Intel i5 processor, 8GB of RAM and 236GB of SSD space. The ErgoLift design tilts the keyboard automatically which helps comfort but hurts screen positioning. Twin Harman Kardon certified speakers are a noteworthy alternative to using headphones.

Pros

Lightweight yet durable design
Long lasting battery life
Excellent keyboard

Cons

No headphone jack
