Robust with its compact, thin and light black aluminum design certified to the American military durability standard MIL-STD-810H, this laptop PC which can be recharged to 60% in 49 minutes has an elegant and discreet appearance.

This Artificial Intelligence-oriented multimedia laptop integrates good connectivity including Wi-Fi 6E ax and recent Bluetooth 5.4 wireless modules for remote connections and communications, an audio port, an HDMI video output facilitating connection with a TV or projector in particular as well as 1 USB 3.0 and 2 USB-C including 1 USB 4 very Quick and easy to connect peripherals like a headset, mouse, external storage or printer.
It’s a shame, however, not to find the latest generation Wi-Fi 7B.

As the webcam has Infrared technology, biometric authentication by facial recognition is possible here, for example via Windows Hello.
The presence of a privacy cover is all the more reassuring to hide the webcam when not in use in order to preserve confidentiality.

A backlighting system is of course fitted to the chiclet keyboard, which is useful in a dimly lit environment because you just have to activate it to better distinguish its keys.

As with any edition whose format is so compact (less than 15 inches), no numeric keypad is present on the right of the keyboard since there is insufficient space to accommodate it.
However, Asus offers here its in-house NumberPad technology which displays a touchscreen number pad instead of the touchpad. So simply activate the NumPad whenever you need to enter numbers more easily.

Creatives will appreciate the OLED technology of the screen since it provides DCI-P3 colorimetry that is much more faithful than average, a great depth of blacks, a low latency providing great responsiveness but also significant viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically.
The OLED is, as always, accompanied by a shiny coating which gives punch to the colors but is subject to reflections in a bright environment (eg outdoors).
With its 16:10 format, the Full HD screen displays more information vertically than the classic 16:9.

Performances, autonomy of the Asus Zenbook 14 UM3406GA-DRFQD217W

The Asus Zenbook 14 UM3406GA-DRFQD217W is a compact, elegant, high-performance, multimedia and AI-oriented portable High Fidelity laptop with its recent processor.

It is the Ryzen AI 7 445 which controls this model, a latest generation Gorgon Point processor equipped with 6 cores, the Radeon 840M graphics module but also specific capabilities for Artificial Intelligence.
As a bonus, as a large amount of 32 GB of RAM is integrated – or 100% more than the average – we obtain solid general performance with which many users, like creators, will be satisfied.

Processing is indeed carried out more quickly with this core than with a classic Quad Core and 16/24 GB DDR4/5, the difference being very notable in areas taking advantage of multi-core, AI and RAM, such as video editing or photo editing.
However, work requiring processor/multi-core resources will benefit from being carried out using a PC based on a (recent) processor equipped with a greater number of efficient cores (at a higher frequency).

In any case, the silent, energy-saving SSD contributes, thanks to its high speed, to the speed of processing, as well as to that of software launches, starts/stops or even arrival on online game cards and more generally to smooth and efficient overall operation. reactive.

Gamers are clearly not the target of this laptop PC since it does not include a dedicated graphics card. With the Radeon 840M, you have to be content with playing light games and viewing photos and HD videos (streaming included).

As for autonomy, count on around 10 hours of battery operation in light use for this model, which is as easy to transport as an Ultrabook since it is compact, thin and light, enough to interest some wishing to equip themselves with a high fidelity student laptop computer oriented towards multimedia and AI.
As for temperatures and noises, expect them to rise in the event of heavy use of this laptop PC to which a ventilated support can be added if necessary to limit its temperatures (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
