ASUS Zenbook 14 UX425 (11th Gen Intel) review

1.13 kg and full memory, six years on

The 2020 Zenbook 14 UX425 is the ultralight of the premium shelf's used tier: 1.13 kg against a class median of 1.46 — the budget-segment weight reading — with a full 32 GB of RAM behind a Core i3 1115G4. The verdict names the graphics placing of 27.37 as the strength — more than six times the class median of 3.84 — and finds no serious weak spot against class peers. That placing deserves its era framing: an integrated GPU out-placing its shelf is the flattery of a thin class, and the flags are the final verdict.

And the flags are green: Overwatch, Grand Theft Auto V, and Rainbow Six Siege clear recommended; Photoshop and Visual Studio Code clear minimums. The absolute levels frame the rest honestly: portability 79.4 high, photo and design 81 high, general performance 50.73 mid — with gaming 28, the low band, as the one footnote the peer-comparison sheet cannot see.

Depreciation math

The anchor reads 8.93% yearly — among the gentlest curves on this shelf — with no base price attached. Six years in at $650, the mass and the memory are the product.

Who should buy it

The buyer who wants the lightest possible body with full-size memory and era-scoped green flags. The gaming low band sets the ceiling; the 1.13 kg is the point.

Bottom line: 1.13 kg with full 32 GB memory and a 79.4-high portability index — the carry columns six years on — plus photo and design 81 high and a five-flag green sheet that includes recommended-tier Overwatch and Grand Theft Auto V. The gaming index at 28 low and the era-scoped iGPU placing are the honest ceiling; the flags are the final verdict, as they always are on thin-class placings. Six years of an 8.93% curve — among the gentlest on this shelf — are in the $650 ticket; the mass is the product.
