Asus breathes new life into its Zenbook lineup with an affordable A14 packing Qualcomm's Snapdragon X processors, a dual-screen Zenbook Duo followup with Intel "Arrow Lake," and Zenbook 14 models with the latest AI processors.

Asus’ new featherweight laptop is aiming to be the latest Windows rival to the Apple MacBook Air. The Asus Zenbook A14 is a new thin and light productivity machine announced at CES 2025 sporting a Qualcomm Snapdragon X processor for a claimed battery life of up to 32 hours and a weight of just 2.

The $1,100 Asus Zenbook A14 weighs in at 2.2 pounds and is thin enough that I fear I may snap it with my fingers. The Zenbook S 14 from 2024 clocks in at around 2.8 pounds to compare apples to apples.
