【lucah tmr】Asus Zenbook A14 announced at CES 2025: Meet the lightest Copilot+ PC yet

Asus showcased a fresh lineup of AI laptops during its "Always Incredible" virtual launch event at CES 2025,lucah tmr including an all-new notebook called the Asus Zenbook A14.

There's a good reason why its model number looks a lot like the word "Air": Starting at just 2.18 pounds, it's the lightest Copilot+ PC ever. Asus says the Zenbook A14 achieves this feat thanks to Ceraluminum with magnesium, which takes the aluminum-ceramic hybrid released in the Zenbook S 14 and adds magnesium alloys, helping achieve an even more lightweight build overall. Asus also credits this material with the laptop's shock, smudge, and scratch resistance.

The Zenbook A14 marks more than one first for Asus, as it's also the Zenbook line's first Qualcomm Snapdragon model, offering both Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X processors, featuring a 45 TOPS NPU. In other words, it's plenty to power a Copilot+ machine, whether you're using AI features like live captions, Cocreator in Microsoft Paint, or super resolution in the photos app. The 32GB of memory on board and 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD are also there to help give you the smoothest experience possible, alongside the dual fan that keeps your machine running efficiently without getting too hot.

Perhaps even more impressively, with all that power the Zenbook A14 is still rated at up to 32 hours of offline video playback on a single charge. (For reference, the longest-lasting laptop that Mashable staff has ever tested lasted almost 23 hours per charge.) The estimated battery life for online video streaming sits at a nearly as impressive 28 hours, with web browsing clocking in last at 19 hours.

Other notable features on this Zenbook include a 14-inch OLED display with 600 nits of peak brightness, a speaker system with Dolby Atmos support, and a full set of IO ports, including one USB 3.2 port, two USB 4.0 ports, one HDMI 2.1 port, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
