Matt Smith called the Asus Zenbook 14 OLED a “budget laptop star” when he reviewed it last year, and it’s still a popular model for anyone looking for great parts at a low price.
Today, you can get an even better deal with Newegg (via eBay) offering a refurbished model with a touchscreen, Ryzen 7 processor, and 16GB of RAM for just $609.99. That’s over $350 off the current price on Newegg, which is already fairly low for a premium design.
And despite being refurbished, this one comes with a 2-year Allstate warranty. That’s double the term of the usual manufacturer warranty… though results for actually making a claim appear to be mixed. Even so, it’s a lot better than the 90 days you usually get.
The Asus Zenbook 14 OLED is already a bargain with its 8-core processor and generous RAM, plus some surprisingly good build quality for a less-expensive laptop. The Radeon RX 780M integrated GPU means it has some surprising graphical power for a small machine, and it’s among the best in its class for battery life, beating out similar laptops and earning a PCWorld Editors’ Choice award.
Newegg tends to have a lot of these laptops in stock, but steep discounts mean they can disappear quickly. I’d get an order in fast if you’ve made your decision because this deal likely won’t last long.
