Encryption, encoding
At the end of June, Asus revealed refreshed ZenBooks, which immediately impressed me with their design, elegance, but also their equipment and compact dimensions. We tested its predecessor, ZenBook 14 UX431F, which looked a bit awkward and didn’t interest me much except for the price. However, the new UX425 is a completely different story. Will it dare to be the title of the best ultrabook with the 10th generation Intel Core we have tested?

Encryption and decryption were surprisingly the strengths of ZenBook, where it defeated all the Ice Lakes. Again, however, it doesn’t reach Renoir and loses 18–20% there.
Working with videos is one of the longer tests, and history repeats itself here. The UX425 lags significantly behind Lenovo and Dell by 27/26 and 54/68%. Swift 3 with AMD is again 2× faster.
