Asus' magnesium-alloy, Qualcomm-based Zenbook aims squarely at the MacBook Air, and I went hands on with it at CES 2025 to see how it might compare.

Asus just revealed new Asus Zenbook A14, which looks like the best MacBook Air alternative for the Windows crowd we’ve seen in quite some time.

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.

The Asus Zenbook A14 is a new entrant to the Zenbook lineup. It's cheaper and lighter than the MacBook Air and sports more than two USB-C ports.

The Asus Zenbook A14 is the lightest Copilot+ PC to date, with configurations set to launch in January and March starting at $899. But is it worth your time? Let’s find out.

In case you don’t know, CES is going on right now, and we’ve seen some amazing announcements already. ASUS, hot off of announcing its Vivobook 14 and Vivobook 16, just announced a device that might make you reconsider picking up that Macbook Air.
