ASUS has presented and announced the launch of the ASUS Zenbook A14 (UX3407) in Ukraine, the lightest 14-inch Copilot+ PC laptop on the market and the company’s first laptop made entirely of the exclusive Ceraluminum material. It is also the first Zenbook model to be powered by the latest Snapdragon X series processors with AI.
The Zenbook A14 redefines lightweight laptops by addressing traditional challenges such as durability, performance, cooling, battery life, port count, and cost. Weighing less than 980 g, it is made entirely of Ceraluminum, a durable yet practical material that can easily withstand the rigors of everyday use.
ASUS Zenbook A14: the best performance based on Snapdragon X
The Snapdragon X series processors deliver unmatched performance and energy efficiency for up to 24 hours of battery life, while the dual-fan cooling system ensures efficient cooling and boosts TDP up to 45W with minimal noise. This Copilot+ PC-class laptop enhances productivity and creativity with advanced AI capabilities.
The Zenbook A14’s superior ergonomics are supported by a large touchpad with smart gesture support and a wide range of ports. Thanks to full integration with Windows Phone Link and Snapdragon Seamless technologies, users can answer calls, manage notifications, and transfer files stored on their smartphone directly from their laptop. They can also use their smartphone camera as a laptop webcam.
The ASUS Lumina OLED display with Full HD resolution and powerful speaker system with super-linear speakers create a real cinematic effect when watching videos. The laptop is reliably protected from potential threats thanks to the built-in Microsoft Pluton processor and Windows access keys that guarantee the security of authentication data storage.
Artificial intelligence technologies, such as the AI Camera with IR sensor, enable facial recognition for automatic sign-in, as well as Adaptive Lock and Adaptive Dimming for personal data protection and ease of use. With its lightweight design, impressive performance and innovative features, Zenbook A14 sets new standards in the laptop world.
Lightweight: a laptop weighing less than 1 kg
Zenbook A14 weighs less than a kilogram, setting a new standard for ultraportable Copilot+ PCs, and its sleek, lightweight design is ideal for those on the go.
The notebook is made entirely of Ceraluminum, a luxuriously soft-touch, innovative material that is 30% lighter and three times stronger than anodized aluminum. This modern material is durable, making it ideal for everyday use. A natural color palette adds sophistication to the minimalist look of this laptop, in keeping with the tradition of the flagship Zenbook line.
The Ceraluminum chassis undergoes rigorous laboratory testing to ensure it can withstand the rigors of real-world use. Scratch resistance is tested by placing the notebook along with keys and coins inside a rotating drum. Shock resistance is tested by dropping the laptop from a height of 50 cm, and wear resistance is assessed by rubbing the material 18,000 times in the same place to see if the color fades. This rigorous testing ensures that the Zenbook A14 will be scratch-free, shock-resistant, and retain its original appearance for years of use.
Long-lasting: up to 32 hours of battery life
The Zenbook A14 delivers unparalleled battery life with an energy-efficient Snapdragon X series processor and a high-capacity 70 Wh battery. It can run for up to 32 hours of continuous video playback, which is enough time for several working days.
An innovative cooling system with two lightweight fans and a heatpipe allows key components to be packed together for quiet and efficient cooling. The system delivers up to 45W of processor TDP, and supports Whisper Mode for quiet operation under light loads. The Zenbook A14 doesn’t lose performance even when it’s offline, making it ideal for long flights, travel, or busy days.
Smart: Copilot+ PC based on the Snapdragon X processor
With a 45 TOPS Qualcomm Hexagon NPU to accelerate artificial intelligence, Zenbook A14 offers advanced Copilot+ PC features such as real-time analytics, productivity tools, and improved responsiveness for efficient multitasking. Users will enjoy flawless video playback, efficient app loading, and instantaneous task switching.
Today, many useful applications are already available for ARM systems. But you shouldn’t expect this laptop to perform well in powerful games. It is designed primarily for office use.
The Zenbook A14 supports Windows Phone Link technology to allow Android or iOS smartphones to interact with Windows. In addition, it also uses Snapdragon Seamless technology, which creates an ecosystem that allows users to switch between compatible devices based on the Snapdragon platform without interruption. It improves productivity by enabling easy file sharing, screen mirroring, and synchronization between mobile devices and the laptop.
ASUS Zenbook A14 security
Security is our top priority, so the new laptop is equipped with intelligent privacy features such as Adaptive Lock and Adaptive Dimming to protect sensitive information when the user is away from the device.
In addition, the Microsoft Pluton security chip provides an additional layer of protection at the hardware level. Thanks to the Windows Access Keys feature, logging in to the system is even more secure.
Ergonomics of the ASUS Zenbook A14
The Zenbook A14 is a truly comfortable experience thanks to its large touchpad with smart gesture support, dirt-resistant keys with optimal travel depth (1.3 mm) and key spacing, and a full range of ports that allow users to connect a variety of devices to the laptop without the need for adapters.
Improved ergonomics are further enhanced by ASUS’ proprietary EasyLift hinge for easy opening and secure screen retention, as well as balanced weight distribution between different parts of the notebook.
OLED display and Snapdragon Sound
With a stunning 14-inch OLED display with thin bezels (NanoEdge technology) and Full HD resolution, the Zenbook A14 delivers images with unparalleled color depth and contrast, and two powerful speakers deliver high-quality audio.
The notebook’s Snapdragon Sound audio system supports high-resolution audio (24-bit, 192 kHz) and features ultra-low latency, which means that the sound is perfectly synchronized with the picture. It also offers a noise reduction feature that reduces background noise during voice calls.
ASUS Zenbook A14: Availability and price
ASUS Zenbook A14 (UX3407) is already available in Ukraine at a recommended price of UAH 72,499. This is a model in the most powerful configuration with a Snapdragon X Elite processor, 32 gigabytes of LPDDR5X RAM, and a 1 TB SSD.
The company promises to supply models with simpler configurations in the future, but don’t expect the price to drop to 20 thousand hryvnias, as the Snapdragon X processor, although belonging to ARM, is very powerful, and the element base of these laptops is high-tech.
