ASUS

I bought this Q425MA-U71TB from Best Buy on May 9, 2025 to replace my old Asus Q405. This ZenBook is my Q405 on steroids. I hope I get the trouble free service that I had with my Q405.

Great laptop

Bought this a month ago, and I'm very happy with this laptop, excellent build quality and performance

Great laptop, light and powerfull

This laptop has a highly powerful processor that can do any kind of work, also the SSD, RAM and Display are very stunning. But i noticed, when it plugged in with AC power and CPU load is in mid-level, the CPU temperature so high and also the laptop get noticeable hot. I think Asus must be concentrate this heating issue.

Solid Performance

ASUS ZenBook - UM425QA



I purchased the ASUS ZenBook UM425QA on August 14, 2022, and it has been a fantastic investment. Here are the key highlights:



Design and Build

The sleek, all-metal chassis looks premium and is highly durable. Its lightweight and slim profile makes it extremely portable.



Display

The 14-inch Full HD display is vibrant and sharp, with thin bezels for an immersive experience.



Performance

Powered by the AMD Ryzen 7 5800U processor and 16GB of RAM, it handles multitasking and demanding software with ease. The 512GB SSD ensures fast boot and load times.



Battery Life

The battery life is impressive, lasting a full day of work on a single charge, with fast charging capabilities.



Keyboard and Touchpad

The keyboard is comfortable with backlit keys for low-light conditions. The touchpad is responsive, featuring an integrated NumberPad.



Connectivity

Despite its slim design, it includes various ports (USB-C, USB-A, HDMI, microSD) and Wi-Fi 6 for fast, reliable connectivity.



Audio

The Harman Kardon-certified speakers deliver clear and loud sound.



Conclusion

The ASUS ZenBook UM425QA combines sleek design, powerful performance, long battery life, and an excellent display, making it a top choice for professionals, students, and anyone who appreciates quality tech. Highly recommended.

Zenbook is the best

Great laptop with a bright, crisp screen. It's just as fast and easy to use as I need. Only downside is typical windows advertising and McAfee software.

I had this zenbook for over a month and NO issue with processor's speed and 8 gb memory. none whatsoever!!!

awesome ultra lightweight

Bought last week and delivered yesterday, looks really cool and slim. Comes with a case too. grey color

I bought this 3 weeks ago after trading my old Asus lap top in. Man, what an upgrade in technology! This laptop is super-fast has a lit keyboard and very easy to set up and continue to use where I left off. The solid-state hard drive makes for a very fast machine. Very versatile for word processing, watching videos, live streaming and mild gaming. The laptop is also very portable and light to carry around. An excellent general-purpose computer that will serve me well for many years!

Great features including a lit keyboard

I had my last laptop since 2017, and waited 5 years to make a change. I am so glad that after doing a lot of research, I landed on this ASUS ZenBook. It has been a HUGE gamechanger for me. With the 16GB RAM and 1TB memory, I am able to do everything I need to do. As a PhD candidate, I am constantly running multiple webpages and programs to do my research. Everything so far on this laptop has worked seamlessly. It is extremely fast and able to multitask like I have to. I am so happy with this upgrade. This computer is fantastic!

Magnificent Upgrade!

I bought this a few months ago, and overall, I like it. It has a great keyboard layout, the number pad on the trackpad is a nice extra (although I end up turning it off fairly often because it doesn't always recognize gestures vs. intentional number input), a headphones jack (something that's becoming too rare!), nice speaker sound, and it's fast. The biggest downside is the single USBA port. I ended up buying a USBC bus to be able to accommodate my mouse, keyboard, and flash drives. The other issue I had (which seems to be resolved now) was a white border that was appearing around the outside of the screen intermittently for the first couple of months (technicians told me it seemed to be a software issue, not hardware). Overall, I'm satisfied.

Good overall, but a few downsides

great laptop ASUS zenbook this a well built ,study frame,good looking and light weight machine. also fast performer

great laptop

Perfect size, smooth keyboard with 3 light settings and very fast. I bought this to continue my school and work. I?m also in crypto & the metaverse and this laptop performance is above my expectations!

Great overall

Thin and light good battery starts fast good build and good features. Travels easy and charges quickly

Powerful

So far, this has been an affordable and powerful replacement for my xps 13. It works well for my needs (photo editing, layout, general writing), and is extremely portable.

Full featured ultra-portable.

Great product with great support from ASUS. Strongly recommend this product for students, adults and business,

Excellent features and light weight

I bought my laptop 5 months ago and when I purchased didn't bother buying insurance because of the one-year ADP warranty said on the specifications in best buy. When I called the c.s, they didn't accept my warranty because they said the stickers on the box for warranty are not applicable if you bought in best buy. Now I struggle with a broken laptop

Great Feature but customer service

I bought this product a month ago, and I?m already loving it! The features are awesome, and it?s very easy to use. I?m not tech savvy, nor good with laptops, but I never had any problems with it so far. I love the keyboard, because they are very soft. Just a slight press, and it will work! Battery life..can?t complain. It exceeded my expectations. I?m really glad that I made the decision to buy this item.

Easy to use..great features!

I like this laptop, I think it's really the best value for the money. 
the processor is just amazing, ryzen 9 pulls every task easily and surprisingly the fans are so quiet. I thought that because of this processor it would drain battery like a horse but the battery lasts a solid 5 - 6 hours of intense work. Also it's so thin and lightweight - looks stunning . 
The only down side is that you cant upgrade ram to 32 ); .
P.S. I'm getting 3 months of warranty extension for this review.

Great value for the money

The Asus Zenbook 14 UX425EA is a quality machine that is more than capable of handling everyday computing tasks. The i7 processor is plenty powerful, the keyboard has a very nice key travel and is very comfortable to type with. I would recommend this laptop to any student as it is perfect for multitasking and every task you may encounter.

Quality Machinery

After having used this for a month I can without hesitation recommend it. Beautiful screen, fast startup and internet. Lots of ports. Future proof machine. So why not 5 stars? Very disappointed there was no USB 3.5 mm audio dongle in the box.

Great all round lightweight laptop

I loved my previous Asus laptop i got 5 years ago. I still love it and have no issues but my 7y/o has decided to take it over so I bought this one. I'm still setting things up and loving all the features it has. I especially love logging in with facial recognition and the happy Hello greeting I get. It's the little things lol.

My only two issues:
1) the first 2 weeks I noticed that when I would log back in after my screen went to sleep that it would be frozen and require a hard shut down. Then when starting back up it was seriously lag. The problem seemed to have fixed itself so it might have been an update of some sort? 

2) The asus link feature that connects your phone to your computer is kind of garbage. It is very very laggy and your cursor sensitivity when using your phone from your computer is franzy as heck. Connecting to your device the Windows way is extremely smooth.

Other wise, I really like it :)

*disclosure: I am receiving a warranty extension from ASUS for my feedback

Excellent Purchase

So far very impressed with its speed and portability. Alsl does a great job of handling moderate gaming! Couln't be happier!

Slim and Slick!

I am so happy I got this laptop, I was not planning o replacig my clunker just yet, but after playing with this on ein the store I was sold!! It is small but powerful.. very fast and the price was right!

Little but powerful

Fast shipping, received in 1 day. Really like the backlit keyboard and the usb-c thunderbolt charging and expansion ports.

great features, fast shipping

I purchased this for my home. I like the speed and weight of the device. Has a great battery life. Easy to set up.

Great product, Great Value

I bought this 9 days ago and it's awesome! Lightweight, feels sturdy though, great look. Runs fast, zero issues yet! Love it!!!

Great Laptop

I would have given this a 5/5 rating, even if this was a tad bit costlier, like around 100$ more. This laptop is perfect in every sense: great ips display with high brightness, exceptional build and very very light weighted (trust me), premium metal body, wifi6, usb-c with charging in both ports and 10gbps transfer rate, ryzen 5500u 6 core cpu, nvidia 450mx which is the latest graphics...everything is prefect, no regrets, best laptop available for this price range....(wait, im not finished...lol)...expect the RAM...it's ...its sad...in the sense that its only 8gb...and worst of all, its not expandable...and when i consider, 16gb will only be maximum $60-$100 costlier...for this small issue, i won't be able to use this after 2 years...really sad...anyways, i bought it as this cost me only $500 in offer at micro center...

hope this helps

by the way, the model i have selected is a different one as the model i own isn't listed in the review section...

Great Features, but am angry because the RAM is so

Bought this a few months ago from Costco (actual Costco model number UX434F). Super fast boot due to the large SSD and 10th gen i7. Downloads from the internet via the wireless faster than my older hard wired i7 desktop and I only am connected to the 2.4ghz for better portability. Touch screen works great although sensitive to my fat fingers. Little screen pad is useful, too.

Great, FAST laptop

I purchased my ASUS Zenbook 14 in March at BestBuy, had seen some reviews on it. In the past I have owned HP, and Dell notebooks. This outperforms them hands down. I have the power not only to play GTA5 but also run some fairly large spreadsheets. It is very light, but tough, battery life is great, keyboard is solid, stays cool on your lap as long as you have the screen all the way back. I recommend it to friends, and would buy it again.

Zenbook is ideal for Gaming and for Data Analysis

I purchased this laptop a month ago to replace my aging Zenbook. I am pleasantly surprised with all the new features that have been implemented into the new Zenbook series. I am especially happy about the extended battery time that it provides as well as the integrated numeric keypad embedded into the mouse pad. I use Sage accounting and this number pad feature totally speeds up my entry time. The processor speed and graphics quality is over the top amazing. I highly recommend this Zenbook to all and look forward to using Asus products in the future.
