Engadget Logo OLED's Japanese notebook PC is also commonplace for OLEs!The cost performance of the ASUS "ZenBook 13 OLED UX325EA" was too good and it was at the immediate purchase level.
In recent years, TVs, smartphones, and laptops that have adopted OLED displays (OLED) are increasing.Unlike the liquid crystal, it develops a color in dots, so you can achieve a high -quality and high contrast ratio, and while you can enjoy a clearer image, it is still a reasonable price, so many people choose based on the budget.prize.
Meanwhile, ASUS actively adopts OLED in laptops.OLED -equipped = high -end models are covered by the conventional scheme, and it is also adopted for models that cost less than 100,000 yen in the middle range, and it is characterized by a model of the price range that is easy to reach.
"ZenBook 13 OLED UX325EA (UX325EA-KG409TS)" released on June 30 is one of them.Equipped with the 11th generation Intel Core i7 processor, the Microsoft Office is realized with 16GB of memory and 1TB SSD in storage.This time, I will review this product while introducing the charm of OLED.
The overwhelming "deep black" features OLED
If you are already using OLED on your smartphone, it may be a preaching to Buddha, but let's talk about the characteristics of OLED again.
First of all, the familiar liquid crystal display.This is an RGB filter for each dots, and is developed by the light of the backlight, but the liquid crystal between the filter and the backlight change the voltage on the liquid crystal for each RGB.It changes, expressing various colors.
OLED, on the other hand, develops a variety of colors without using backlights because the RGB element itself, which is composed of each dots, is colored.
Whether you rely on the backlight or the emitting light on your own is a major difference between the LCD display and OLED, but this difference also affects the color to be expressed.Black is particularly easy to understand.In the case of a liquid crystal display, the liquid crystal is expressed by blocking the backlight, but the light leaks and it is not black.In that regard, OLED becomes black if it does not emit light, so if you turn the color of the board black, you can express black.The difference is obvious even if you arrange it with the liquid crystal display.
Therefore, OLED can achieve a high contrast ratio.In the case of the "ZenBook 13 OLED UX325EA" display, the contrast ratio of 1 million: 1 is compatible from the peak to the ultra -low brightness of 0.0005nit.
Recently, some products have been installed by dividing the backlights of the liquid crystal display to mini -LED, and adopting a mechanism that partially flickers with the displayed images, and increased the contrast.Still, it is not a dot unit like OLED, so the effect depends on the type of video.
In addition, in the color gamut, this product achieves a 100%color range in DCI-P3, a professional query.In addition, SRGB not only supports 133%color gamuts, but also acquires Pantone authentication, making it a display with definite color reproducibility.
In particular, OLED can maintain 100 % DCI-P3 color range even at low brightness, and can be firmly expressed in OLED in OLED.
In addition, blue light, which is said to cause eye fatigue and upset and disturb the quality of sleep, is also greatly cut.Due to the nature of the material used in the element, it has been reduced by about 70 % compared to the LED used in the liquid crystal display.This is because it shifts around 460 nm, which is less harmful, not around 440 nm, which is considered to be harmful to the harmful wavelength.
Starting "ZenBook 13 OLED UX325EA" will notice the difference.OLED has a rich color expression, high visibility, and high brightness, so if you set it to the highest brightness, you will feel a little dazzling.Technology and safety certification agencies have also received blue light reduction and fricker -free certification by Tüv Rheinland and SGS, and the screen is very easy to see, not to mention professional -level creative work.It reduces fatigue and makes it easy to work.
Thin, light and carried to use
Next, check the parts other than the display."ZenBook 13 OLED UX325EA" has a pine gray body color.The top plate has a concentric hairline processing centered on the logo, which is a symbol of the ZenBook series.The edge on the body side has a higher quality design with diamond cut.
The thin and lightweight aluminum alloy body, which is 304 x 203 x 13.9 to 14.9 mm, is 1.14 kg, also has a robustness that clears multiple items based on military standards for Mil-STD 810G for easy-to-carry size.increase.
When the top plate is opened, the design of the slim bezel makes you feel like a clear and clear screen of OLED spreads in front of you.The screen size is 13.3 inches, with full HD resolution glare specifications.The color gamuts and contrast ratio are as described above, and the response speed is quite fast at 0.2 milliseconds.The refresh rate is 60Hz, but there is no afterimage feeling.
The top of the display is equipped with a 920,000 pixel IR camera compatible with Windows Hello.By installing a larger camera sensor than the conventional model, the recognition speed of image quality and face authentication is improved.He / she plays an active part in the web conference on telework.Unlock the Microsoft account and open the Microsoft world.(You can use Windows Hello to easily access outlook, Skype, Microsoft Edge, Bing, OneDrive, Xbox.Hardware and support devices are required. You can check the apps that can be unlocked with the Microsoft account here)
In addition, an array microphone is also installed.ASUS's unique AI noise canceling technology identifies noise and human voices and removes only unnecessary noise.In addition, it has a sound system that has been certified by HARMAN KARDON, not only can you listen to clear music, but also only the noise canceling voice is emitted from the speaker on the bottom of the body, so the web meeting will progress.
The keyboard is full of body width, and the key pitch is about 19 mm and 13 inch size is ensured that it is easy to typing.In addition, a power supply, HOME, PGUP, UGDN, and END key are placed on the right one row.Other than this row, it is a place where there is no habit, and the keystroke is about 1.4mm, so if you get used to it, it should be easy to typing.
It is also a point to use an ergolift hinge, whose keyboard surface is inclined about 3 degrees when the top plate is opened.Not only the effect of making it easier to typing, but also a space is created at the air supply port, which leads to improving the cooling performance, and also improves the sound quality by the sound quality from the response sound on the bottom.
The CPU is equipped with a 11th generation Intel Core i7-1165G7 (2.8-4.7GHz) processor.Memory with a capacity of 16GB, SSD (PCI Express 3.0 × 2) with a capacity of 1TB (PCI Express 3.0 × 2).The communication function supports Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1.
The interface is thin but fulfilling, and on the right side of USB3.2 (Standard-A/Gen1) x 1 and microSD memory card slot.On the left is Thunderbolt 4 (Type-C) x 2 and HDMI x 1.With HDMI and USB Standard-A, it is a nice specification for business use.
The battery capacity is 67Wh, and the drive time is relatively long at about 13.5 hours (nominal value).The included AC adapter is a small type that connects to the Type-C terminal, so it does not bother carrying around.Furthermore, since a mobile battery can be charged, it seems that even a day when you work on the go, you can do it without an AC adapter.
Demonstrate the performance of the TIGERLAKE generation
I tried some benchmark tests easily because it was a great deal.
For measurement, the fan mode is set to "Performance mode" in the "Myasus" app, and the power supply mode of Windows is set to "the highest performance".
First, execute "Cinebench R23" to measure the CPU performance.The result is 4218pt in multi -core, 1425pt and 4 core/8 threads for single core, TDP28W performance.
I also measured "PCMark10" to check the operation performance of the application.The result is 4879, which is quite good as a laptop that does not have a GPU."Intel IRIS X Graphics" seems to be able to do enough with light 3D games and creative work.
OLED -equipped slim notebook that does not compromise the performance while reducing the price
Once you experience the OLED screen, you may not be able to return to a normal liquid crystal display from its ease of viewing and rich coloring expression.
It is a good thing OLED, but one of the worrisome points is that the screen is burnt.Unlike the liquid crystal, it emits light in dot units, so if the same screen continues, the deterioration of the element will be partially deteriorated, and the color will not be uniform on the entire screen, and it looks like an afterimage.
However, the OLED installed in this product is originally taken to prevent such a phenomenon, and has ASUS's unique OLED care mechanism.For example, if you are an idle state for a certain period of time, your own screen saver will be automatically operated.The same screen does not last, greatly reducing the possibility of burning.
In addition, since Windows 10 itself has a dark mode, it reduces the brightness of the menu and windows, automatically hides the taskbar, and changes the transparency of the taskbar from the attached "Myasus" application.If you are taking measures to protect the display in various ways, you will not be able to burn it first.
The "ZenBook 13 OLED UX325EA" has a Core i7 model introduced this time, a model with a Core i5-1135G7 processor, and a 16GB memory with a built-in SSD of 512GB (mid-160,000 yen range), which is in line with the budget.You can choose.
Due to the corona evil, meetings, meetings, work, and private, the time to keep watching the screen is definitely increasing.Even if this situation converges, a new lifestyle will remain.After all, a PC wants to choose a machine equipped with a display that does not strain as much as possible and reduces eye fatigue like OLED.In that sense, "ZenBook 13 OLED UX325EA" will be the best option with excellent cost performance.
