Asus unveils Zenbook A14 and ProArt PX13 at CES 2026
The Zenbook A14 might just be the most practical laptop Asus announced at CES this year. Weighing under 1kg, it is built for people who live out of backpacks and airports but still want serious computing power. Crafted from Asus’ lightweight yet durable Ceraluminum material, the Zenbook A14 promises a premium feel while staying incredibly portable.
Under the hood, it is powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor with an 80 TOPS NPU, making it a full-fledged Copilot+ PC. This enables AI-driven multitasking and native on-device AI features without constantly leaning on the cloud. Coming to battery life, the brand is claiming up to 35 hours of offline video playback.
Now, if the Zenbook A14 is about portability, the ProArt PX13 is all about creative power in a compact form. This 13.3-inch convertible seems tailor-made for creators who want strong performance in a flexible, travel-friendly body. It runs on the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor, paired with a 50 TOPS NPU and up to 128GB of unified memory. Asus says it can even handle large language models locally, which opens the door to serious on-device AI workflows.
The laptop is equipped with a 3K Asus Lumina OLED touchscreen that is factory calibrated for colour accuracy, promising to be perfect for video editing, design, and colour grading. The laptop’s 360-degree hinge allows it to flip between laptop, tablet, and stand modes, while stylus support and the Asus DialPad add more hands-on control for creative apps. Despite all this, it weighs just 1.39kg and meets MIL-STD 810H durability standards.
The all new Zenbook Duo is here
Last month, Asus had teased the all-new Zenbook Duo on social media and had revealed that the laptop will be showcased during CES. And now the wait for many tech enthusiasts comes to an end. The brand has unveiled the all new Zenbook Duo which comes with two 14-inch OLED displays to make multitasking seem like a piece of cake. The company says that the laptop comes with an improved hinge which reduces the gap between the two screens. There are also features like ScreenXpert tools and immersive audio aimed to make this more than just a novelty device.
The new Zenbook Duo is powered by Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors with integrated AI acceleration, and targets power users who thrive on multiple windows and workflows.
The brand also launched the Zenbook A16, which combines a large 16-inch 3K OLED display with a lightweight 1.2kg chassis. The productivity laptop is powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme processor. With an 80 TOPS NPU and promised all-day battery life, it is positioned as a strong option for commuters and mobile professionals who want a big screen without the usual bulk.
