The ASUS ZenBook 14 arrived in 2020 as ASUS's flagship thin-and-light for people who wanted a full-size keyboard, a metal chassis, and enough processing power for daily work without carrying a heavier 15-inch laptop. The line covers a handful of related model numbers, including UX425JA, UX425EA, UM425QA, UM425UA, UX434, and UX435EA, split between Intel and AMD configurations. Its ErgoLift hinge, Harman Kardon-tuned speakers, and NumberPad-equipped trackpad made it a strong value pick then, and the same traits keep resale demand steady now, especially for units with the higher-tier processor and RAM. Pick your configuration and condition above for an instant cash offer, or see how the process works before you commit. If you are ready to move forward, you can also sell your ASUS laptop directly through the category page.

Confirm you have the ZenBook 14

The fastest way to check is on the machine itself. Press Windows key + R, type msinfo32, and press enter — the "System Model" field will list the exact model number. No login screen access? Flip the laptop over and read the regulatory sticker on the bottom panel, which prints the model number in small type near the serial number.

UX425JA / UX425EA

  • Intel-powered configuration (check the configuration picker above for the exact generation)
  • 14-inch display in a compact chassis
  • NumberPad2 integrated into the trackpad
  • USB-C charging

UM425QA / UM425UA

  • AMD Ryzen 7 5000 series processor
  • AMD Radeon integrated graphics
  • ErgoLift hinge
  • 14-inch display

UX434 (UX434FLC)

  • ScreenPad 2.0 — a secondary touch display built into the trackpad
  • Some configurations added a discrete NVIDIA GeForce MX250 alongside integrated graphics
  • Slightly earlier chassis design than the UX425 line

UX435EA

  • NumberPad2 touchpad
  • Intel-powered configuration
  • Physically similar to the UX425 chassis, sold as a later addition to the lineup

Prefer a visual check? A number grid glowing inside the trackpad means NumberPad2 — common across most 2020 ZenBook 14 units. A trackpad that lights up as a small secondary screen (not just numbers) means ScreenPad 2.0 and points to the UX434. Pine Grey and Lilac Mist were the two finishes offered on most units.

Core hardware configurations

Processor

  • Intel Core i7, 10th Gen (Comet Lake)
  • AMD Ryzen 7, 5000 series
  • Soldered to the board on both configurations, not upgradable after purchase

Graphics

  • Intel UHD Graphics on Intel configurations
  • AMD Radeon integrated graphics on Ryzen configurations
  • Certain UX434 units added an entry-level discrete NVIDIA GeForce MX250

Memory (RAM)

  • Soldered LPDDR memory, not user-upgradable
  • Higher-RAM configurations hold value best on resale

Storage

  • Single M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD
  • Storage tier is the second biggest lever on trade-in value after processor choice

Display & audio

14-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) panel with slim NanoEdge bezels, keeping the footprint closer to a 13-inch laptop despite the larger screen.

Harman Kardon-certified stereo speakers, tuned to sound fuller than typical ultrabook speakers of the same generation.

Fingerprint reader built into the power button, paired with Windows Hello for password-free sign-in.

Ports & connectivity

Port selection differs slightly by configuration — Intel models add Thunderbolt support that AMD models cannot offer, since Thunderbolt is an Intel platform feature.

Left side
  • Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 (Intel configurations only)
  • USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 with charging support
  • HDMI
Right side
  • USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 (x2)
  • microSD card reader
  • 3.5mm audio combo jack

Battery, build & more

Battery: Rated for a full workday of typical office use, one of the reasons this generation of ZenBook still gets picked up as a secondary or travel laptop.

Dimensions & weight: A compact 14-inch chassis that stays close to 13-inch-laptop portability, a major selling point when it launched.

Finishes: Pine Grey and Lilac Mist were the two main finishes across most 2020 configurations.

Software: Shipped with Windows 10, and both the Intel and AMD configurations meet the requirements for a Windows 11 upgrade.

Market positioning: A mid-range productivity ultrabook that competes on portability, keyboard quality, and battery life rather than graphics performance.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number or exact configuration?
Press Windows key + R, type msinfo32, and press enter — the System Model field shows the exact model number. If the laptop will not boot, flip it over and read the sticker on the bottom panel, which lists the model number near the serial number and regulatory markings. Processor and RAM can also be checked from the Task Manager Performance tab, or from the Settings → System → About screen if Windows still loads. For a full walkthrough specific to ASUS laptops, see how to find your ASUS model number.
02 How do I tell it apart from the ZenBook 13?
Screen size is the fastest tell — the ZenBook 14 uses a 14-inch panel while the ZenBook 13 (UX325 series) uses a 13.3-inch panel, and the two chassis are noticeably different in width side by side. The model number sticker on the bottom panel is the definitive check: ZenBook 14 units carry UX425, UM425, UX434, or UX435 prefixes, while ZenBook 13 units carry a UX325 prefix. If the sticker is worn, comparing the laptop's width against a tape measure against published dimensions will settle it.
03 Can I sell it with damage, a weak battery, or a account lock?
Yes, in most cases. A cracked screen, a battery that no longer holds a full charge, or a unit that will not power on can still be sold — the quote adjusts to reflect the condition and functionality you report during the picker step above. Before shipping, remove the laptop from your Microsoft account and disable any device lock or password you have set, since a locked laptop cannot be tested or resold. If you are unsure whether a repair is worth doing first, it usually is not — selling as-is and letting the condition grade reflect the damage is typically simpler.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
Configuration and cosmetic condition move the offer the most. A Ryzen 7 or i7 configuration with the higher storage tier will out-quote a base configuration in the same physical condition, and a unit with a clean screen, intact hinge, and no cracks will out-quote a heavily worn one of the same specs. Including the original charger helps as well, since a missing charger is one of the few accessories buyers consistently ask about. A battery that still holds a reasonable charge also matters more on this generation than on newer laptops, since replacement batteries for this chassis are less common.
05 How do I erase it and get paid?
Go to Settings → System → Recovery, and choose Reset this PC, selecting the option to remove everything and clean the drive. Before that, sign out of your Microsoft account and remove the device from your account online, and if BitLocker is enabled, suspend or decrypt it so the reset completes cleanly. Once the reset finishes, the laptop is ready to ship — packaging is free and the shipment is insured in transit. Payment goes out after our team tests the unit against the condition you reported, by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or check. Full step-by-step guidance, including how to handle an account you can no longer sign into, is on our data erasure protocols page.
