ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED UX3404 (2023) vs ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED (2024)

The ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED (2024) and the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED UX3404 (2023) are near-identical in design and provide a similar user experience. However, they differ in performance, as the Zenbook 14X OLED UX3404 is available with a discrete NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU, giving it more graphical processing power to handle more intensive tasks, while the Zenbook 14 from 2024 is only available with integrated graphics, which are only suitable for general productivity. The Zenbook 14X UX3404 also has a more robust cooling system, so it doesn't lose as much performance during heavy, sustained workloads. One feature difference between these two laptops is the addition of an NPU (Neural Processing Unit) and low-power efficiency cores on the 2024 Zenbook 14's Intel Meteor Lake CPUs. The NPU speeds up AI-based tasks, like background blurring on video calls and image processing in photo editing apps, while the low-power efficiency cores help prolong battery life.
