ASUS is giving its popular Zenbook series a fresh update with the introduction of the Zenbook 14 (UX3480), an ultraportable laptop that combines refined craftsmanship, AI-powered performance and impressive battery endurance in a sleek, lightweight package.
Designed for users who move between work, study and leisure, the new Zenbook 14 puts portability and everyday convenience at the forefront. Weighing just 1.2kg, it promises the freedom to work from almost anywhere, while its distinctive Ceraluminum finish brings a more personal touch to premium laptop design.
Available with AMD or Intel processors, the new model also embraces the growing role of artificial intelligence in everyday computing, making it a versatile companion for productivity, creativity and entertainment.
A Stylish Take on Portability
One of the Zenbook 14’s biggest attractions is its design. Housed in a slim all-metal chassis, the laptop features ASUS’ signature Ceraluminum lid, a material that combines the durability of aluminium with a distinctive ceramic-like texture.
Beyond its premium appearance, Ceraluminum is engineered to resist scratches, fingerprints and everyday wear, making it particularly appealing for users who frequently carry their laptops between meetings, classrooms and cafés.
The latest generation also introduces two nature-inspired colours — Arctic Blue and Komodo Coral — offering a refreshing alternative to the conventional silver and grey finishes commonly seen on laptops.
At approximately 1.3kg for the listed Singapore configurations, the Zenbook 14 is light enough to slip into a backpack or tote bag without adding unnecessary bulk.
AI Performance for Everyday Productivity
Under the hood, the Zenbook 14 offers a choice between two AI-enabled processors.
The AMD-powered Zenbook 14 (UX3480KA) features the Ryzen AI 7 345 processor with a dedicated neural processing unit capable of up to 50 TOPS of AI performance. Meanwhile, the Intel-powered Zenbook 14 (UX3480AA) comes with the Core Ultra 7 355 processor, offering up to 49 TOPS of NPU performance.
Both are Copilot+ PCs, designed to support AI-enhanced Windows experiences and compatible productivity applications. From intelligent search and content creation to video conferencing and multitasking, the dedicated NPU helps accelerate supported AI tasks while improving power efficiency.
ASUS has also refined the laptop’s cooling system with a larger fan and improved airflow. The updated thermal design supports up to 35W of thermal design power, a 25 per cent increase over the previous generation, helping maintain consistent performance during more demanding workloads.
OLED Visuals for Work and Entertainment
The Zenbook 14 features a 14-inch ASUS Lumina OLED display with a spacious 16:10 aspect ratio, giving users more vertical screen space for documents, spreadsheets and creative applications.
The Intel configuration offers a particularly impressive 3K (2880 x 1800) OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 0.2ms response time, 100 per cent DCI-P3 colour coverage and up to 1,100 nits of peak HDR brightness. Its VESA DisplayHDR True Black 600 certification further enhances contrast and detail when watching HDR content.
The AMD model features a Full HD+ (1920 x 1200) OLED display with a 60Hz refresh rate and the same wide DCI-P3 colour coverage.
Both configurations benefit from OLED’s deep blacks and vibrant colours, making them suitable for everything from presentations and photo editing to streaming movies after work.
Complementing the visuals are dual speakers with Dolby Atmos support, designed to deliver a more immersive listening experience.
Built for Life Away From the Desk
Battery endurance is another major highlight, with ASUS claiming up to 29 hours of battery life for the Zenbook 14 range. Actual endurance will depend on the configuration, applications and usage conditions.
Both Singapore configurations feature a 70Wh battery and support USB-C charging through a compact 68W adapter, making it easier to travel without carrying a bulky power brick.
Connectivity is equally practical, with USB-C, USB Type-A, HDMI and a 3.5mm audio jack providing flexibility for external displays, storage devices and accessories. The Intel model includes Thunderbolt 4, while the AMD version features USB4 connectivity.
A precision touchpad, comfortable keyboard and Full HD infrared camera with Windows Hello facial recognition round out the everyday experience. Microsoft Pluton security and Windows Studio Effects also add convenience for users who regularly work remotely or attend virtual meetings.
Eligible customers will receive three months of Google AI Pro at no additional cost, redeemable through the MyASUS app. The subscription provides expanded access to Google’s Gemini AI tools and includes 5TB of cloud storage.
