The PC market has entered a new and incredible era. Thanks to the power of AI and ARM chips, Windows laptops like the all-new ASUS Zenbook A14 have gotten incredibly thin and light without any compromise in power and performance.
With its “Unload. Unplugged. Unlimited.” mantra, the new ASUS Zenbook A14 has the perfect blend of design, performance, battery life, and AI features that make for an ultimate on-the-go machine you can conveniently take anywhere – perfect for nomads, remote workers, and students at school.
Today, we’ll take a deep dive into those features and see how the Zenbook A14 will let you work anywhere, anytime, without being tied to the power outlet or your desk setup.
Incredibly thin and light with a classic look
The Zenbook A14’s claim to fame is being the World’s Lightest Copilot+ PC. Weighing at just 899g, it feels even lighter than most tablet-keyboard combos we’ve tested in the past. It’s really convenient to carry around as it can easily fit your tote bag or you can just carry it on its own if you hate packing.
ASUS achieved this feat by using its own Ceraluminum™ material, which combines ceramic and aluminum to form a chassis that’s 30% lighter and 3x stronger than traditional anodized aluminum builds.
In fact, this material is so robust you don’t have to worry about scratching it. It’s scratch-resistant and has a level of shock resistance. You can carry the device naked, no sleeve is needed.
Speaking of naked, you definitely don’t want to conceal the beauty of this device thanks to its classic look that could easily stand the test of time. Available in Iceland Gray and Zabriskie Beige, they have a sleek, smudge-free, minimalist look that’s both subtle and stands out from the crowd.
Uncompromised power and battery life
Digital nomads, hustlers, and those from the gig community demand one crucial feature from their laptops: extended battery life. There’s nothing more annoying than running out of juice in a coffee shop without an outlet around.
Powered by up to the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon X processor with 45 TOPS, the Zenbook A14 promises top-notch productivity and creativity performance with stellar battery life.
The Zenbook A14, with its Snapdragon X Elite chip and 48Wh battery, can last for up to 23 hours on a single charge. In fact, we were able to finish writing this article and edit the photos used in it with just around 20% deducted from the battery.
ASUS’s goal is to provide extreme convenience and portability. The battery lasts so long you don’t have to worry if there’s an outlet available around. In fact, you can leave your charger at home and just carry the laptop when you go out.
But if you’re planning an overnight camping trip or staycation with friends, don’t worry, as the mighty USB-C 65W charger barely takes any space in your bag.
It’s almost the size of your smartphone’s charger and comes with a long and thick USB-C to USB-C cable. In fact, you can leave all your chargers at home as this adapter should also be compatible with all your devices. Talk about flexibility.
Intuitive design for daily use
ASUS has designed the Zenbook A14 for daily commuters, working bees, and anyone who wants to get things done not hindered by design flaws or any hassle.
The Zenbook A14 comes with a bigger touchpad so you can work comfortably, even if you left your mouse at home. As a big plus, the Smart Gesture lets you quickly adjust the volume, screen brightness, and adjust playback speeds.
Plus, the Smudge-Free Keycaps stay clean, even if you’re typing your way to an important email while having lunch.
ASUS designed the Zenbook A14 intelligently; it takes 25% less effort to open it up. ASUS’s EasyLift Hinge lets you use a single finger to easily open it up and start working.
Easily our favorite feature is the port selection. Despite its ultra-thin and light build quality, the Zenbook A14 has a complete selection of ports. It comes with two flexible USB-C 4.0 ports, a 3.5mm headphone jack, USB-A 3.2 Gen 2, and even HDMI 2.1.
All the ports you need to connect external monitors, keyboard and mouse, flash drives, and other accessories are here. No need to spend a fortune on a USB-C adapter.
These minor features collectively made the Zenbook A14 really convenient to use and carry around. As someone who is always on the go and deals with deadlines, the convenience it provides really allows me to get work done anytime and anywhere – whether it’s in a coffee shop, parking lot, or just standing on the side of a busy mall while running other errands.
Copilot+ PC: Do more with less using AI
The power of AI found on the all-new Copilot+ PC will let you get more things done with less effort. Features inside the Paint app like Cocreator, Generative Fill, and Erase can easily transform your vision into real art, saving you numerous hours of designing it yourself.
Windows Recall can also instantly look for the document, email, or web page you’re looking for with much less time.
Those are the things that we really like about the new ASUS Zenbook A14. After spending our time with it, we’re convinced that we’re already looking at our next daily driver. The convenience, its thin and light design, incredible battery life, and reliable performance lets us accomplish our deadlines by doing work anytime and anywhere we are.
The ASUS Zenbook A14 will be available at ASUS Concept Stores, multi-brand stores, and online for a price of Php65,995. It comes with an ASUS Service Package that includes a 2-year International Warranty and 1-year Accidental Damage Protection, as well as a lifetime license to Microsoft Office Home 2024, and a 1-year Microsoft 365 Basic subscription.
