Which should you buy, ASUS Zenbook 14X UX5401 or Dell Inspiron 14 Plus 7440?
The ASUS Zenbook 14X UX5401 suits buyers wanting an OLED display in a compact 14-inch chassis, though it is not built for users needing discrete graphics or upgradeable memory. Buy the Dell Inspiron 14 Plus 7440 for mainstream productivity buyers wanting extra CPU headroom, though it is not the pick for RAM upgraders. Our rating of the ASUS Zenbook 14X UX5401 (7.7/10): this 14-inch Zenbook offers a 2880 x 1800 OLED at 90Hz in a 1.4 kg body, with a Core i7-1195G7, 16GB of LPDDR4X and a 512GB drive. Thunderbolt 4 and a 63Wh battery keep it practical, and the display is the main draw for photo review and media. This is a 2022 platform with integrated graphics. The 16GB is soldered and the storage slot is full, so it is a poor choice for anyone who wants to upgrade or needs discrete graphics.
