Asus Zenbook 15 OLED

Sleek and solid in every department, Asus' OLED notebook is a very appealing lightweight laptop

When finding the perfect laptop for your needs, everyone has different priorities and boxes to be ticked. Are you going for a work machine or a gaming laptop? A desktop replacement or something ultralight? Well, the Asus Zenbook 15 OLED aims to meet all of your needs.

Ultrabooks are consistently some of the best-looking laptops available and the Zenbook is right up there among them. The Ponder Blue colour (yes, really) of our review model is pretty slick but doesn't have the environmental credentials of the ceramic-style Basalt Grey, which swaps the aluminium case with a plasma ceramic aluminium, making it harder and more resistant to wear.

It's pretty lightweight too at 1.4kg. That's lighter than air - well, alright, not actual air. More specifically the 2023 MacBook Air 15-inch with the M2 chip. At 14.9mm thick, the Asus is a bit chunkier than the MacBook, but not by much.

The standout feature of the laptop is its screen. The name gives it all away, really, as you'll find a 15.6-inch OLED display with 550 nits peak brightness at a 2880 x 1620 resolution (with a 16:9 aspect ratio) front and centre.
