Asus Zenbook A14: Specifications, Features
Weighing in at under 1 kg, the Zenbook A14 sets the new benchmark for ultraportable Copilot+ PCs. Its elegant, lightweight design is ideal for frequent travelers, allowing them to move without being weighed down by their tech. The chassis of the laptop is crafted entirely from the brand’s innovative Ceraluminum, a sumptuously tactile material that’s 30% lighter and three times stronger than anodized aluminum. This advanced material ensures durability and portability, making it ideal for everyday use.
The material has gone through multiple tests for durability. For scratch resistance, the material is tested by placing the laptop, along with keys and coins, inside a rotating drum. Shock resistance is tested by dropping the laptop from a 50cm height, and wear resistance is evaluated by rubbing the material 18,000 times in the same place to check the color doesn’t fade. This testing ensures that Zenbook A14 remains scratch-free, resilient to shocks, and maintains its pristine looks, providing users with a laptop that is both lightweight and durable.
The Asus Zenbook A14 boasts a 14-inch FHD (1920 x 1200) OLED display with a 16:10 aspect ratio, 600nits HDR peak brightness, 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, 1,000,000:1, VESA- certified DisplayHDR True Black 600, 1.07 billion colors, 70% less harmful blue light, TÜV Rheinland-certified, SGS Eye Care Display, and a 90% screen-to-body ratio.
