Asus ZenBook 13 UX325E – Tiger with a smaller body

Display tests

Intel brought the 11th generation of processors relatively quickly, which naturally means that most laptop manufacturers have updated their models. These include Asus, which in addition to the new Flip S also introduced a revamped ZenBook 13 and 14. We reviewed the last generation’s 14, now we will test the smaller 13-inch model. Expectations are high, as I considered the ZenBook 14 to be one of the best ultrabooks of the year.

Gamut, brightness and color difference

We measured the image properties of the display using the Datacolor Spyder5Elite color analyzer. As it is an ultrabook and not a gaming notebook, you will not find a high refresh rate or image anti-tearing technology here. Therefore, we will be more interested in brightness and color reproduction. According to the manufacturer’s website, the display should offer 100% sRGB spectrum. It is a 13.3-inch IPS Full HD panel in the classic 16:9 aspect ratio. The side frames are relatively thin, thanks to which the display occupies up to 88% of the body. You can choose from two models, differing only in maximum brightness, namely 300 or 450 nits.

The specs given by the manufacturer more or less add up. We managed to measure 100% sRGB and we see equally good results with 2.2 gamma value with a minimum deviation, a solid uniformity with a small deviation at the bottom right and a very good Delta-E color deviation of 1.18.

The maximum measured brightness was 391 nits, which most likely means that I have tested the model with a brighter, 450-nit panel. In our stores, however, I found mostly 300-nit versions, most likely the 450-nit versions are not even available here. We’ll check this information with the manufacturer.

Rare host: How does an SSD work in the Asus Dual RTX 4060 Ti?

Among RTX 4060 Ti graphics cards, Asus has multi-functional designs with an M.2 slot for NVMe SSDs. These, unlike other models, don’t waste the potential of the PCI Express ×16 interface so significantly. To evaluate this design, partial results from motherboard tests are now extremely useful. Those results that relate to the M.2 slot speeds and the efficiency of SSD coolers. After all, the Asus Dual RTX 4060 Ti SSD also competes in both disciplines.

The new card you won’t hear – Asus RTX 4080 Super Noctua

Asus and Noctua managed to launch the latest joint graphics card earlier than ever this time. The Asus RTX 4080 Super Noctua Edition is being released alongside the other models. Noctua has apparently already optimized its cooler to satisfaction on the older variant, the RTX 4080, and the situation on the RTX 4080 Super hasn’t changed enough to require design intervention. Everything is ready for production. Read more “The new card you won’t hear – Asus RTX 4080 Super Noctua” »
