ASUS ZenBook 14 OLED UX3405CA-QL192W Intel Core Ultra 7 255H 16GB RAM 1TB SSD 14" Touchscreen Windows 11 Home Laptop

OLED on a laptop this side of £1,000 still feels like a category unlock, and the ZenBook 14's 14-inch WUXGA touchscreen is the reason to pay attention here. The panel delivers the kind of contrast and colour accuracy that makes photo editing and video work genuinely usable on a portable machine — not a compromise you tolerate, but a display you'd choose. Pair that with Intel's Core Ultra 7 255H, which handles sustained creative workloads without the fan noise theatrics common in thin-and-light designs, and you have a machine built around the idea that portability shouldn't cost you quality.

Who Is This For?

This is a strong fit for creative professionals, postgraduate students, and hybrid workers who spend long hours in front of a screen and genuinely care whether colours look accurate — think designers, photographers, and anyone editing video on the move. The 16GB of RAM and 1TB SSD mean it handles multitasking and large project files without constant housekeeping. If you're primarily gaming, look elsewhere — Intel Arc graphics are capable of light titles but aren't built for serious gaming performance.

What Buyers Say

Owners of this ASUS ZenBook OLED line consistently praise the display quality above everything else, citing how vivid and sharp it looks compared to IPS panels at similar price points. The compact build and solid keyboard also receive strong marks for daily portability. The most common complaint centres on the webcam quality, which lags noticeably behind the screen's capability — a frustration for anyone doing frequent video calls who expects consistency across the hardware.

The Deal

At £849.99, down from £1,299.99, the headline saving is £450. However, our price history — covering 11 data points — shows this product has never actually sold at £1,299.99 in tracked records; the lowest and average recorded price is £999.99, making the true saving closer to £150. That's still a meaningful discount on a strong machine, and worth considering alongside other options in our best laptop deals guide. A genuine saving, but not quite the headline figure suggests.
