ASUS Singapore has announced the 2026 iteration of its premium Zenbook 14 Copilot+ AI laptop line, with the new model sporting notable upgrades like bigger battery capacity and the latest Intel and AMD processors to make it the ultimate working companion for on-the-go users.
Combining powerful AI-enabled computing with a sleek, lightweight design decked out in the Zenbook’s signature Ceraluminum craftsmanship, the new Zenbook 14 weighs just 1.2kg and features a durable all-metal chassis, making it built for portability and mobility.
Despite its slim chassis, the laptop has made strides in battery capacity, offering up to 29 hours of battery life, keeping users powered throughout the day without the need for a charger or power port. When charging is needed, the laptop is engineered for efficiency too, complete with fast charging capabilities and a compact USB-C charger so it won’t take up too much space in a user’s bag.
Packing both power and portability, the Zenbook 14 2026 also delivers responsive performance thanks to a choice of two AI-enabled processor platforms – the Intel Core Ultra 7 355 model (UX3480AA) and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 variant (UX3480KA), both with up to a 50 TOPS NPU. Designed to support next-generation AI-enhanced experiences like AI-assisted productivity tools, intelligent search and content creation, the laptops bring the power of AI to everyday workflows while still remaining thermally efficient thanks to their larger fan setup and refined airflow design.
Rounding off the features of the new Zenbook 14 is its vibrant 16:10 ASUS OLED display with an 89 percent screen-to-body ratio, offering up to a 3K 120Hz ASUS Lumina OLED display for enhanced visual clarity and smoothness, dual speakers enhanced with Dolby Atmos to deliver immersive audio, and a suite of connectivity ports for seamless peripheral use.
ASUS Zenbook 14 (UX3480AA) starts at S$3,499 and will be available from 16th October 2026 in the ASUS Online Store and all authorised retailers islandwide, while the ASUS Zenbook 14 (UX3480KA) starts at S$3,299 and will be available in the ASUS Online Store at a later date. The laptops will come in two nature-inspired colourways – Arctic Blue and Komodo Coral. As part of its launch, ASUS will also give eligible Zenbook 14 customers three months of Google AI Pro at no extra cost, redeemable through the MyASUS app.
