The latest version of the ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED bears many tidings to consumers. It's got a thinner design and very lightweight exterior but more importantly, it is one of the first laptops in my hands that is fitted with Intel's latest Meteor Lake CPUs and more specifically, a Core Ultra 7 model.
But one change to the chassis design I take issue is the new placement of the I/O ports: the Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports of the Zenbook 14 OLED are also located on the right side, instead of being divided evenly on each side, and that means that all the charging ports are located on the same side as your mouse. Some of you will undoubtedly dismiss this as a minor issue but it is a bother for me when I am navigating the internet with my mouse.
There are, naturally, some queries that pop up in my mind about the ASUS and its thought process, especially when it came to Zenbook 14 OLED and its connectivity options. For some context, the new Intel Meteor Lake supports Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and the PCIe Gen5 speeds for SSDs. The choice of sticking to PCIe Gen4 SSDs support, I get, but what I don't understand is why it chose to limit the other two to Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.
Granted, it is far from the ideal gaming experience, nor is it the smoothest, but we're talking about an average of 30 fps for the titles, on an integrated ARC GPU. It's an astounding milestone for Intel, given the infancy of its current graphics journey. Of course, where there is gaming, there is heat generation - The CU 7 155H in the Zenbook 14 OLED runs up to 96°C consistently.
