ASUS ZenBook 14 (UM425)
ZenBook 14 UM425 reshapes the boundaries of an ultrathin laptop and is the thinnest AMD laptop in its class that offers uncompromised I/O capabilities.

The two USB Type-C ports support fast charging, up to 4K UHD external displays, and up to 10Gbps data speeds for insanely fast file transfers. ZenBook 14 UM425 also supports ASUS USB-C Easy Charge, which means it can be charged using a wide range of standard USB-C chargers.
It also boasts a bright and clear four-sided NanoEdge display, with a slim bezel that creates a 90% screen-to-body ratio for a more immersive viewing experience.
ZenBook 14 UM425’s ergonomic keyboard boasts edge-to-edge design with increased font size and the innovative ErgoLift hinge raises the keyboard to deliver a comfortable typing while also adding extra airflow.
