Compact and elegant design on Zenbook 14 (UM3406)
The first impression of Asus Zenbook 14 (UM3406) is its lightness at only 1.2kg, completely able to hold with one hand without creating a "fragile" feeling like many other ultrabook models. The monolithic metal design, sophisticated Jade Black matte coating, is both modern and retains the luxury needed for a professional environment.
Zenbook 14 will give users the impression of minimalism and super light weight at first use.

Portability does not mean compromising on durability as Zenbook 14 meets MIL-STD-810H standards, sturdy hinges allow the screen to open up to 180 degrees flexibly in all usage situations. The ErgoLift design combined with a small rubber base helps to raise the device moderately, creating a natural typing angle, reducing hand fatigue when working for long periods.
Although compact in size 14", Zenbook 14 still gives users a large keyboard layout, operations are quickly familiarized

The keyboard is a big plus with 1.4mm key travel and even bounce across the entire surface, giving a confident typing feel and easy to get used to right from the first use. The spacious glass-covered trackpad is responsive, making multitasking convenient. The trackpad also features a side swipe feature for quick adjustment of screen brightness and volume.
The OLED screen with 3K resolution will meet many needs from work to entertainment on Zenbook 14.

The 14-inch OLED screen with 3K resolution (2880 x 1800), 120Hz refresh rate and high brightness is an ideal combination for any environment. Images are always bright and sharp even in strong daylight, wide viewing angles and high color coverage support creative needs. The ability to reduce 70% of blue light helps protect the eyes, making it comfortable to work for long periods of time. The IR camera integrated with Windows Hello recognizes and unlocks the device almost instantly in just 1 second, while the regular webcam reproduces quite sharp images, even with a natural "smoothing" effect, suitable for online meetings.
The connection ports on the Zenbook 14 are not many but are still enough for the need to connect peripheral devices.

The connection ports are still complete, keeping the ASUS standard: 1 USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, 1 USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, 1 USB 4.0 Gen 3 Type-C, HDMI 2.1 TMDS and 3.5mm headphone jack, ensuring no worries about the lack of ports when connecting peripherals or presenting. However, most of these ports are arranged on the right side of the device and there is only 1 USB-A port on the left side.
Performance and battery: AI integration, long battery life
Zenbook 14 (UM3406) is equipped with AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 processor, Radeon 860M GPU and 32GB LPDDR5X RAM, creating a powerful enough platform for modern tasks from office, learning, basic content creation to AI testing directly on the device.
Actual benchmark data shows that the machine achieved 1,546 points in Time Spy, 4,292 points in Fire Strike and 1,189 points in Steel Nomad Light on 3DMark. This confirms that the graphics processing power is enough to play some AAA games like Cyberpunk 2077 at low settings, or light esports games with a stable experience. However, this is not a laptop aimed at gamers but is suitable for those who need an ultrabook for their main work and light entertainment when needed.
Performance testing and battery review on Zenbook 14

Heat dissipation and noise are also well controlled. During multitasking and testing with image editing software (Adobe Lightroom Classic), listening to music, watching videos and browsing the web continuously for 4 hours, the battery only decreased by about 50%. In fact, with the intensity of normal office work (editing, browsing the web, presenting), the machine can fully meet the needs of an 8-hour working day without needing to be recharged. This is a huge advantage for office laptops, especially when users increasingly require high flexibility.
USB-C charging technology is a practical plus. In addition to the included adapter, users can completely take advantage of the phone charger or backup battery to recharge the battery, saving accessories and not worrying about carrying too much. The ability to share the charger for multiple devices helps reduce pressure when having to travel far or work flexibly.
General assessment
Overall, the Asus Zenbook 14 (UM3406) is a typical representative of the trend of thin, light, efficient laptops, meeting the mobility, durability and versatility criteria of modern office users. The device converges the advantages of the ultrabook line with a luxurious appearance, light weight, easy to carry, convenient keyboard, excellent display, diverse connection ports and battery life that really meets the full day.
With a price of 31.99 million VND, Zenbook 14 (UM3406) is a worthy choice for office workers, basic creators, who want stability and a seamless experience all day long without having to worry about battery or performance.
