Must read

Unload: Sub-1kg all-Ceraluminum design 

Weighing in at under 1 kg, Zenbook A14 sets the new benchmark for ultraportable Copilot+ PCs. Its elegant, lightweight design is ideal for frequent travelers, allowing them to move effortlessly without being weighed down by their tech.  

The chassis is crafted entirely from our innovative Ceraluminum, a sumptuously tactile material thats 30% lighter and three times stronger than anodized aluminum. This advanced material ensures durability and portability, making it ideal for everyday use. The nature-inspired color palette adds a sophisticated touch to the minimalist looks, aligning with the Zenbook tradition of timeless design. 

Ceraluminum undergoes rigorous lab testing to meet tough real-world conditions. For scratch resistance, the material is tested by placing the laptop, along with keys and coins, inside a rotating drum. Shock resistance is tested by dropping the laptop from a 50cm height, and wear resistance is evaluated by rubbing the material 18,000 times in the same place to check the color doesn’t fade. This robust testing ensures that Zenbook A14 remains scratch-free, resilient to shocks, and maintains its pristine looks, providing users with a laptop that is both lightweight and exceptionally durable. 

Unplugged: Multi-working-day battery life 

Zenbook A14 delivers outstanding multi-working-day battery life, enabled by the power-efficient Snapdragon X Series processor and a high-capacity 70Wh battery. It can provide over 32 hours of continuous video playback on a single charge, ensuring interruption-free usage over the course of multiple working days.  

The innovative thermal solution, featuring dual lightweight fans and a heat pipe, optimizes key component placement for quiet, effective cooling. With performance reaching up to 45W TDP and a 0dB Whisper Mode for silent operation, the laptop offers exceptional power efficiency. Even when unplugged, Zenbook A14 delivers consistent performance with no drop in capabilities, making it the perfect travel companion for long flights, road trips, or meeting-packed days. 

Unlimited: A Copilot+ PC driven by the Snapdragon X Series 

With its 45 TOPS Qualcomm Hexagon NPU for AI tasks, Zenbook A14 offers advanced Copilot+ PC experiences, offering real-time insights, performance optimization, and enhanced responsiveness for multi-tasking and productivity. Users can expect seamless video playback, efficient app loading, and rapid task switching. 

Zenbook A14 comes with Windows Phone Link to allow users to connect their Android or iOS mobile phone to Windows. Additionally, it also comes with Snapdragon Seamless integration, which creates a cross-device ecosystem that allows users to switch between compatible Snapdragon-powered devices without interruption. It enhances productivity by enabling easy file sharing, screen mirroring, and synchronization between mobile devices and the laptop. 

Security is a top priority with smart privacy features, including Adaptive Lock and Adaptive Dimming to secure sensitive information when users step away from the laptop, and a Microsoft Pluton security chip for an additional layer of hardware protection. The Windows passkey feature offers an added layer of login security. 

Zenbook A14 offers a refined user experience with an enlarged touchpad featuring Smart Gesture support for comfortable navigation; smudge-free keycaps on the well-spaced keys that have a comfortable 1.3mm travel; and a full suite of I/O ports that allows users to connect devices and peripherals without the need for adapters or dongles. The user-centric design also includes a precision-designed ASUS EasyLift hinge for stable, wobble-free screen opening and balanced weight distribution.  

For an immersive multimedia experience, the Zenbook A14 boasts a 14-inch FHD OLED NanoEdge display that delivers vibrant colors and deep contrasts, supported by two powerful speakers for rich audio output. Snapdragon Sound™ features High-Resolution Audio for rich, detailed 24-bit / 192kHz sound; ultra-low latency to ensure audio syncs seamlessly with visuals; and advanced noise cancelation to reduce background noise for clear voice calls and immersive audio.
