ASUS Zenbook 14 Specifications And Features
The new Zenbook 14 is available with three different processor platforms, giving buyers a choice depending on their performance and portability requirements. The top-end UX3480AA variant comes with up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 386H processor, with 16 cores and speeds of up to 4.9GHz. It also features an Intel NPU capable of up to 50 TOPS. The UX3480KA is powered by an AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 processor with six cores, 12 threads and up to 4.6GHz speeds, along with an AMD XDNA NPU rated at up to 50 TOPS.
Meanwhile, the UX3480QA uses the Snapdragon X X1 26 100 processor with eight cores and up to 2.97GHz speeds. Its NPU is rated at up to 45 TOPS.
All three configurations come with 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB PCIe 4.0 SSD storage. Display specifications vary between the three variants, with the Intel model offering the most premium panel.
The UX3480AA features a 14-inch 3K OLED touchscreen with a 120Hz refresh rate, 2,880 x 1,800 resolution, 1,100 nits peak brightness and 100% DCI-P3 colour coverage. It also has a 0.2ms response time and an 89% screen-to-body ratio. The AMD model gets a 14-inch 60Hz OLED touchscreen with FHD+ resolution, while the Snapdragon variant features a 14-inch 60Hz OLED display with a 1,920 x 1,200 resolution. Both offer 100% DCI-P3 colour coverage.
One of the major design highlights of the new Zenbook 14 is ASUS' Ceraluminum material. The company says the ceramic-aluminium construction is 30% lighter and three times stronger, while also offering resistance against scratches, shocks, smudges and everyday wear. The laptop has been tested against the US MIL-STD-810H military-grade standard for durability. It measures 1.39cm at its thinnest point and weighs as little as 1.1kg, depending on the configuration.
ASUS is offering the Zenbook 14 in Arctic Blue, Komodo Coral and Zabriskie Beige.
ASUS claims the Zenbook 14 can deliver up to 33 hours of battery life, depending on the configuration. The laptop supports USB-C fast charging, with the company claiming up to 50% charge in 30 minutes. The battery capacity differs between models, with the Intel and AMD variants featuring a 70Wh battery, while the Snapdragon version gets a 50Wh unit. Both use a 68W USB-C fast-charging adapter.
For connectivity, the laptops feature Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth, along with USB-C, USB-A and HDMI ports. The Intel model additionally gets Thunderbolt 4, while the AMD variant features USB 4.
Alongside the Zenbook 14, ASUS has introduced the ZenMouse MD202, featuring a Ceraluminum top cover designed to match the laptop's aesthetic. The mouse supports Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless connectivity and can pair with up to four devices. It also features a Track-on-glass sensor, PTFE feet and a micro switch rated for up to 50 million clicks.
The ZenMouse supports USB-C fast charging, with ASUS claiming up to 16 hours of use from one minute of charging. It is priced at Rs 6,999 in India

The Zenbook 14 is an interesting addition to ASUS' premium laptop lineup because it gives buyers three different silicon platforms without moving away from the same lightweight design. The Intel variant stands out with its 3K 120Hz OLED panel and 50 TOPS NPU, while the Snapdragon model offers the lowest entry price and a lighter 1.1kg build. At Rs 1.36 lakh onwards, though, the Zenbook 14 is firmly positioned as a premium laptop, so the processor and display differences between the variants will be important when choosing the right model.
