Lightweight Laptop with Smart Features

A New Take on Portability and Power

What if your laptop was lighter than your work bag but smarter than your phone? That’s the idea behind the latest device from ASUS—a lightweight laptop that tackles heat and bulk in premium PCs without giving up power. At just 990 grams, it’s the lightest in its class.

The Zenbook A14 uses a new material ASUS calls Ceraluminum, a ceramic-aluminum blend that keeps the build strong while reducing weight by 30%. Everything from lid to base is made from this single material, helping the device stay cool and durable. Combined with a Snapdragon chip and Copilot+ AI tools, it delivers efficient performance with up to 18 hours of runtime on a single charge.

How Zenbook A14 Works for You

The Zenbook A14 isn’t just about looks—it’s built to perform. It runs on a Snapdragon X processor with an advanced NPU capable of 45 TOPS, supporting built-in AI features like Recall and Live Captions. The OLED screen reaches 600 nits of brightness for clear outdoor viewing, while the fanless design keeps it quiet. It also supports fast charging, reaching 50% in just 30 minutes, and includes both USB-C and HDMI—rare in ultra-slim models. This balance of AI laptop performance, connectivity, and portability makes it a strong fit for everyday use.

How Ceraluminum Might Change Laptop Design

Ceraluminum isn’t just a fresh name—it’s a fresh approach. Developed to replace traditional anodized aluminum, it offers consistent strength across the entire chassis while weighing less. This material resists scratches, smudges, and flex, making it ideal for daily use and travel. But beyond durability, it points to a design trend: materials that support thinner, cooler, and more efficient devices without sacrificing strength. For the Zenbook A14, that means better thermal performance and a lightweight laptop that holds up in real-world conditions.

What Else Sets Zenbook A14 Apart?

Beyond weight and power, the Zenbook A14 introduces practical innovations that support real-world usability and next-generation laptop design:
