Credit: / Mashable Reading an article about the Asus Zenbook A14 is doing a disservice to all parties involved. You really need to hold this thing yourself. I'm old enough to remember when Steve Jobs slid the first Apple MacBook Air out of a brown envelope.

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.

I knew I had found my favorite computer of CES 2025 early last December, long before I had a chance to see what most other PC makers were cooking up. It comes from ASUS and it’s the new Zenbook A14, a system that the company had joked about calling the Zenbook Air.
