What reviewers say
Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.
Asus Zenbook 14 OLED (UX3405, 2024)
Three whitelisted lab testers (Tom's Hardware, Notebookcheck, PCWorld) rate the 2024 Zenbook 14 OLED (UX3405, Core Ultra 7 155H) a superb-screen, well-priced ultraportable with strong bursty performance and long light-load battery, undercut by Meteor Lake throttling and near-constant fan/electronic noise. All three tested the same UX3405MA config; every quote and measured value was confirmed verbatim in the fetched text. (3 sourced reviews, 3 lab-tested.)
Praised: Vivid, sharp, bright 120Hz 2880x1800 OLED display with accurate colors; Thin, light (~1.2kg / 2.82lb), premium metal build; Good value for the specs (32GB RAM / 1TB SSD).
Flagged: CPU throttles hard under sustained load (Meteor Lake power drop); Noisy/near-constant fan plus electronic coil-whine noise; Soldered, non-upgradeable RAM.
Framework Laptop 13 (AMD Ryzen AI 300, 2025)
Across three whitelisted testers (Tom's Hardware and PCWorld lab-tested; Engadget hands-on only), the Ryzen AI 300 refresh is a solid, highly repairable ultraportable let down by battery life and fan noise. The two lab tests measured 9-11 hours of runtime, well behind rivals. Note Tom's Hardware and PCWorld tested different CPU tiers of the same 2025 AI 300 line (HX 370 vs Ryzen AI 7 350). (3 sourced reviews, 2 lab-tested.)
Praised: Unmatched modularity, repairability and cheaper mainboard-only upgrade path; Strong CPU/productivity performance, clear step up over prior Intel/AMD boards; Bright, sharp 120Hz IPS display (480-540 nits measured).
Flagged: Poor battery life, trails competitors by hours (9h11m and just over 11h measured); High up-front price near $2,000, costlier than faster rivals; Persistent fan noise and heat under load.
