Review on πŸ’ͺ Ultimate Performance Unleashed: ASUS ZenBook 13 UM325UA DS71 Ryzen by Aries Boyce

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent laptop for the price

Great computer and nice OLED display that gets pretty bright. There was also no entry, the computer had an upgradeable NVMe PCIe 3x4 slot housing a 512GB NVMe. You can use the Samsung 1TB 970 Evo Plus NVMe to upgrade. You can't use 2TB because the memory slot is very thin and one side of the NVMe needs to be flat and one of the sides has nothing on it. In terms of RAM, there is 8 GB. I've used it to play old PC games like Oregon Trail and Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego, I've surfed the web and also tweaked my DSPs to have a car for a car audio and it's done great. I'm not too worried about 8GB of RAM, but if I were looking into content creation it wouldn't be the best choice based on RAM. Here I had to give 1 out of 5 stars, the RAM is soldered to the mainboard and NOT upgradeable. I would have preferred the 16GB version which still allows me to upgrade NVMe to a 1TB NVMe SSD like the Samsung 970 EVO PLUS. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a version with 16GB RAM anywhere. So I bought this other one and then the non-upgradable 8GB RAM, it's a great laptop and I would consider buying it again. It's NOT a touchscreen, but I'm fine with that. The mouse touchpad is quite large and comfortable, but loses a bit. When I press it I see there is a gap at the edge of the touchpad and I'm afraid it will break a bit so I bought a small wireless mouse with a USB adapter and it worked great. Again I'm very happy with the laptop and based on the performance I would definitely buy it again and think it's worth the price.
