In early 2020, the Corona pandemic swept the world, marking a major turning point in the history of modern work. As the virus spread, companies around the world were forced to close their offices and shift their employees to working from home to keep them safe. Terms like "remote work" and "virtual meetings" have become part of our daily lives, as companies have relied on technology to ensure business continuity.

But as the pandemic subsided and the world began to recover, many companies began to gradually return to working from offices. However, the pandemic has left a lasting impact on work culture, with flexibility and hybrid work options (a mix of working from home and office) becoming a key part of many organizations' policies.

People gradually began to return to the offices, and return to the use of public transportation and the emergence of many so-called "Commuters", a category of people who work in jobs that require being always on demand, whether in the office, public transportation, or anywhere else, they need their laptop as a companion always adjacent to them, looking for a lightweight laptop with a long battery life to be their daily companion.

From here, ASUS took the opportunity and produced a laptop that combines power and modern technology, as it presented a powerful device, powered by artificial intelligence, lightweight, and a very long battery life of up to 32 hours, to meet the needs of the Commuters category, whether they are students moving between lectures, office workers working remotely, or even professionals who work on the go. This device is specially designed to be an ideal companion for everyone who needs high performance and flexibility without sacrificing efficiency or comfort.

The weight of only 980 grams ?! Is this possible? The first time I carried the neat case, I found that the case was so light that I wondered, "Is something wrong? But after opening the box, I found the laptop in place normally, and the surprise was when I started reading the technical specifications. The first thing that caught my eye was the weight of the device: only 980 grams!

Yes, this laptop is not the lightest in the world, but it is definitely the lightest Copilot+ PC in the world. This means that it is not only a lightweight device, it is also powerful, intelligent, and of course fast.

Going back to weight, after some research on why the device is lightweight, ASUS design engineers used Ceraluminum, a revolutionary material they had used before in many devices such as the Zenbook S13 and Zenbook S14, but in those previous devices, only the screen cover was made of Ceraluminum. In the Zenbook A14, the entire device is made of this advanced material.

Ceraluminum is the result of ASUS' investment of four full years of research and audit, with the aim of achieving the best result from the combination of ceramic and aluminium materials. The result is a new, environmentally friendly, non-fingerprint-proof, abrasion-resistant, shock-resistant and scratch-resistant, and extremely strong yet at the same time incredibly lightweight. This innovation makes Zenbook A14 not only a technologically advanced device, but also an example of how technology and design can be combined to achieve a unique user experience.

The result is a laptop with a simple and comfortable design weighing 980 grams that defies gravity, since we are talking about the design, we can quickly talk about the exits and entrances of the device, weighing 980 grams and thickness of only 1.5 cm. I didn't expect many inputs and outputs but somehow ASUS added
a full-size HDMI 2.1
output, allowing it to be connected to external displays in HD.

Full-size USB-A 3.2 port, ideal for connecting external memory devices.

Two USB-C 4 inputs, which support lightning-fast data transfer and device charging or connecting additional monitors.

3.5mm output for connecting external speakers or headphones.

Display: An amazing visual experience as usual from ASUS One of the top reasons why you fall in love with Zenbook A14 at first sight is the screen. As usual in the ASUS Zenbook class, the display here is ASUS Lumina OLED, a display of exceptional quality.

The display covers 100% of the DCI-P3 hue, meaning colors are incredibly accurate and vivid, whether you're editing photos or watching a movie. In addition, the screen-to-device ratio is 90%, providing an immersive viewing experience with ultra-thin side bezels.

The screen resolution is FHD+ (1920x1200) ensuring high clarityBreaks. The monitor is also SGS and T V Rhineland certified, which ensures that harmful blue light on the eye is reduced, making prolonged use more comfortable.

The screen is certainly one of the most prominent strengths of this device, but we wished it had come with a refresh rate higher than 60 Hz, especially with the global trend towards higher refresh rates to improve the browsing and gaming experience. However, the color quality, screen clarity, and response rate of 0.2ms largely compensate for this aspect.

An immersive audio experience As for sound, the experience is no less impressive, integrated into the laptop two Super Linear speakers that ensure purer and more stable sound with support for Dolby Atoms and Snapdragon sound, which are technologies that make the sound immerse you in your favorite entertainment with sound that moves around you with amazing realism in music and content viewership.

Performance: More stable, more supportive, smarter with up to 32 hours

of battery life Here is the new ARM architecture built on which the Qualcomm snapdragon X Elite processor is built into the ASUS Zenbook A14, Qualcomm is the new player in the laptop processor market, and the only one to adopt the new ARM64 architecture for more stable performance with full support for Windows 11, unbeatable battery life up to 32 hours and a distinctive artificial intelligence experience thanks to the presence of the NPU chip Built-in inside the processor.

The Snapdragon X Elite chip is a 12-core processor with a frequency of up to 3.4 GHz along with 32 GB RAM at a speed of 8448 and an internal space of the type SSD M.2 NVME size of 1 TB and a speed of up to 7000 Mbps as shown in the Crystal disk

tests As for the performance of the processor, we tested the processor on the Cinebench R24 program and we obtained.....
