Asus ZenBook Q408UG (2021)

Asus Zenbook Q408UG is a mid-range Ultrabook featuring a slim and lightweight design with stable performance. This product is extremely suitable for those who travel frequently, meeting all the essential requirements of a multimedia entertainment device.

Eye-catching, modern design that attracts all eyes

The Asus Zenbook Q408UG possesses an extremely sophisticated design language, with a chassis made of solid aluminum, thin and light with a weight of less than 1.15kg. The device features a 14-inch screen, but because the bezels are ultra-thin and the screen-to-body ratio reaches 92%, the overall dimensions are no different from a 13-inch Ultrabook. Thanks to its sophisticated, luxurious, and particularly compact appearance, the Asus Zenbook Q408UG promises to bring much inspiration to users' work.

A highlight of the Zenbook line also appears on this product: the Ergolift hinge. This hinge design helps lift the base of the laptop at a slight angle, facilitating the cooling process and enhancing the typing experience.

High color gamut display for an immersive work and entertainment experience

The screen has always been the most notable feature of the Zenbook series, and of course, the Asus Zenbook Q408UG is no exception. The device features a 14-inch IPS panel with Full HD resolution. It can be said that the screen on the Asus Zenbook Q408UG is suitable for all needs, from studying and working to entertainment, as it has high brightness and contrast, performing well in any environmental condition. Additionally, the screen has a color gamut of up to 90% sRGB, making it fully capable of meeting design and printing needs.

Keyboard and Touchpad

The keyboard on the Zenbook Q408UG has a reasonable layout, with large keycaps that help users operate easily during use. The key travel is somewhat shallower than the UM/UX425 models, but in return, the precision is very high. However, the backlit keys are not as bright as expected.

The touchpad is covered with a textured glass layer. However, the matte texture on this machine is extremely pleasant and does not feel sticky when used for long periods. The touchpad size is somewhat small, but the sensitivity is quite high, allowing for precise operations.

Incredible performance on an Ultrabook

The Zenbook Q408UG is a powerful Ultrabook, standing in stark contrast to its slim and delicate appearance. The machine is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 5 5500U processor, 6 cores / 12 threads, and 8GB RAM, providing superior performance and capable of handling graphic tasks such as photo editing, design, and video editing quite powerfully. Additionally, the machine can handle heavy Excel files, which used to be difficult for previous low-core CPUs.

For those who want entertainment and light gaming, the Zenbook Q408UG also comes with an optional Nvidia Geforce MX 450 2GB discrete graphics card, enough to play current eSports titles like League of Legends, Valorant, and CS:GO. The Zenbook Q408UG's SSD is upgradeable, which is a commendable feature as the machine allows for increased storage capacity, unlike many other ultrabooks.

As a mobile laptop, having a long-lasting battery is essential. The Zenbook Q408UG has a relatively high battery capacity of up to 67Wh, enough to allow users to study and work for 5 - 7 hours.

Versatile connectivity

All the connection standards on this machine are the most common and fastest currently available. The device is equipped with one high-speed USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 port for data transfer, two USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 ports that support video output and charging, and an HDMI port for outputting images to external monitors or projectors. With the aforementioned number of ports, the Zenbook Q408UG can fully meet connectivity and data transfer needs with all basic standards. Users will not need to use cumbersome hubs.
