ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED UX3405CA
2025
The 2025 Arrow Lake refresh of the Zenbook 14 keeps the excellent 2.8K 120Hz OLED and adds a faster Core Ultra 9, but it inherits the same CS35L41 silent-speaker problem on Linux unless you hand-load an SSDT patch.

Common questions
- Does the ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED UX3405CA (2025) work with Linux?
- Not cleanly: there are significant gaps, so we don't recommend it for Linux as-is. Arrow Lake-H (Core Ultra 9 285H) wants a recent kernel (6.12 or newer) for the Arc 140T iGPU and sane power, so use a current Fedora, not an old frozen LTS.
- What does the ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED UX3405CA (2025) cost?
- RRP is about 1199 USD (1399 EUR in the EU); street price is often lower.
- Is the ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED UX3405CA (2025) good for office and web work?
- For office and web work we score it 8/10 on value and 8/10 on performance.
- How heavy is the ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED UX3405CA (2025)?
- 1.25 kg (2.76 lb). That's light enough for daily commuting.
- What's the battery life like?
- A 75 Wh pack, around 10 hours real-world mixed use. We score battery 8/10.
- Can I upgrade the RAM or storage?
- RAM is soldered, so the 32 GB it ships with is the RAM it dies with. Storage starts at 1024 GB on this configuration.
