ASUS ZenBook UX410UQ Disassembly and SSD, HDD, RAM upgrade options

The Asus UX410UQ packs a 14-inch screen in a 13.3-inch body and is equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce 940MX graphics card. The weight is still under 1.34kg, achieving a good balance between portability and performance.

The biggest highlight of this laptop is its micro-edge design. The 6mm width of the bezel is its most significant feature. The advantages of this slim bezel are self-evident.

The body is made of aluminum alloy, and although its thickness is only about 18mm, we do not need to worry about its overall structural sturdiness. The types and number of ports are still abundant, including three USB ports, one USB Type-C port, an HDMI port, and a card reader slot.

In addition to the M.2 SSD, it also features a 2.5-inch standard HDD tray. However, this HDD tray only supports a 7mm thick hard drive.

The Intel 7265NGW wireless card supports the 802.11ac protocol, and when paired with an 802.11ac router, it can theoretically reach a maximum speed of 867 Mbps. In addition, because it supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz dual bands, the card is less susceptible to signal interference (since many Bluetooth and other wireless devices operate on the 2.4 GHz band).

    Hi! David, I just bought the ASUS UX410UQ, and I’m wondering how much the maximum size of the M.2 SATA SSD slot can be upgraded to. It would be nice if it could be upgraded to 1TB. Thanks.

    1. I’m not sure, but make sure it supports a 512GB SSD.

    2. Yes, it can. The UX410UQ I bought came with a 1TB HDD drive in the slot but without an SSD.
