[DiaryPoint = Reporter Eom Ju-yong] ASUS unveiled its lightweight Zenbook 14 on the 9th. Depending on the configuration, it weighs 1.2 kg; ASUS’s global product page lists a starting weight of 1.1 kg for some configurations.
The new laptop will be available with either an Intel Core Ultra 7 Series 3 or AMD Ryzen AI 7 processor. It delivers up to 50 TOPS of NPU performance and includes on-device AI features for tasks such as document work and multitasking. ASUS’s global lineup also includes a Snapdragon X model, though the configurations announced in Korea use Intel or AMD processors. The company says Intel and AMD models deliver up to 50 TOPS, while the Snapdragon model delivers 45 TOPS.
The 14-inch WUXGA OLED display has a taller 16:10 aspect ratio. Depending on the configuration, the Intel model can be equipped with a 3K, 120Hz panel, while the AMD model comes with an FHD OLED panel. ASUS says the screen-to-body ratio reaches up to 89%. Some configurations offer up to 30 hours of video playback, and USB-C fast charging is supported. The global product page gives separate offline video playback estimates: more than 29 hours for the Intel model, more than 30 hours for the Snapdragon model, and more than 33 hours for the AMD model.
The lid uses Ceraluminum, and ASUS has introduced two new colors: Komodo Coral and Arctic Blue. The global product page also lists the existing Zabriskie Beige option. Ports include USB-C, USB-A, HDMI, and an audio jack, so users can connect peripherals without a separate hub. The Intel model supports Thunderbolt 4, while the AMD model supports USB4. ASUS’s global Intel specifications say the USB-C port supports display output and power delivery, and Thunderbolt 4 data transfer speeds reach up to 40 Gbps.
In a global product announcement in September 2026, ASUS detailed battery playback times and display configurations for the Intel, AMD, and Snapdragon platforms.
