Overview
- Best Buy’s early Black Friday promotion cuts the Zenbook A14 from about $1,000 to $549–$550, the lowest price reported this week.
- Reviewers cite outstanding longevity, including a WIRED test that played video for over 20 hours at full brightness.
- The 2.1‑pound chassis uses Asus’s Ceraluminum material, and this model includes a 14‑inch OLED display and a 70Wh battery.
- Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Plus with an on‑device NPU qualifies it as a Copilot+ PC, running many apps natively on ARM with Prism translation for others.
- Performance suits web, office work, and media, but modern AAA games or heavy graphics tasks are a poor fit, and the RAM is soldered while the M.2 SSD is user‑replaceable.
