Zenbook A14 Review: Full-Fledged AI Laptop in Featherweight Form

ASUS proves yet again that it is a top contender in today’s Copilot+ PC market with their latest and lightest AI PC to date, the Zenbook A14.

Weighing less than a kilogram, the Zenbook A14 crushes competition in terms of portability and convenience. Yet it doesn’t cut corners in screen real estate and performance, boasting a 14-inch display and a powerful Snapdragon X processor.

Before its local release here in the Philippines, ASUS gave us the opportunity to have hands-on experience with the Zenbook A14 (UX3407QA) for a week.

Here are our thoughts on ASUS’ lightest AI PC yet.

First Impressions: Peak Portability, Sophisticated Style

I was well-aware of the Zenbook A14’s next-level lightness but holding it for the first time was still a pleasant surprise.

It weighs less than a kilogram and is about 0.5” thin. On paper, it’s expected to weigh around 899g, but our test unit was even lighter at 892g.

I can easily lift it with one hand and carry it around without breaking a sweat. You’ll feel the lightness even more when you handle it with the lid open.

With this build, the Zenbook A14 easily takes the lead in the realm of ultraportable laptops. So if you’re someone who constantly carries a laptop in your bag, upgrading to ASUS’ new AI PC will instantly improve your quality of life.

The feel and style of the Zenbook A14’s chassis did not disappoint either.

Its full chassis is made of ASUS’ patented Ceraluminum™ material. It combines aluminum with ceramic’s rich texture and lightness, resulting in a fingerprint-resistant finish with weightlessness that still feels very premium.

As for its aesthetic appeal, this Zabriskie Beige variant stands out with its elegant neutral tone that’s reminiscent of sandstone and goes well with the laptop’s matte texture.

They also have the Iceland Gray variant which sports a more classic color that’s just as sophisticated.

EasyLift to a Sizeable Screen

Opening up the laptop has been made effortless with the ASUS EasyLift Hinge, which allows you to lift the lid smoothly and wobble-free with a single finger.

The laptop hinge is often an overlooked detail, but this kind of improvement was something I didn’t know I wanted until I experienced it first-hand.

Onto the screen, this new ASUS laptop has a 14-inch WUXGA IPS (1920 x 1200) display with 90% screen-to-body ratio.

This screen setup has a very good display despite not being OLED-equipped locally, which also aligns with its lower price point among flagships.

Its strength also comes from the fact that the Zenbook A14 gets to be the lightest but it didn’t resort to a smaller 13-inch screen. Instead, its 14-inch size is the right balance between substantial and compact.

The 16:10 aspect ratio even offers additional productivity advantage with its added vertical space for reading web pages and documents.

The laptop also has a snappy 60Hz refresh rate, vivid 100% sRGB color gamut, and TÜV Rheinland certification for your eye protection.

The brightness goes up to 400 nits, which is fairly bright even in well-lit areas. As long as I had shade over the laptop, there was no bothersome glare while I worked at its maximum brightness.

Its dual super-linear speakers are also pretty loud and clear for a laptop this light, which complements the display when it comes to media consumption.

Smooth Typing and Touch

Working with Zenbook A14’s keyboard and touchpad also offers comfort and convenience.

I can type away smoothly with its short key travel and quick feedback. Typing feels soft and subtly clicky. It isn’t too loud and distracting which makes it perfect for shared spaces like offices, libraries, and coffee shops.

Working alone, this laptop still has the satisfying clicks of the keyboard that further motivate my writing when in a flow state.

Working in darker environments is not a problem as the keyboard backlight has three levels of brightness.

The touchpad is also made larger, with handy smart gestures that make volume, brightness, and playback adjustments easily accessible.

Heavyweight on AI Capabilities

Under the hood, the featherweight Zenbook A14 is run by a Qualcomm Snapdragon X X1 processor that’s designed for powerful AI computing. It’s backed by 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD.

The Qualcomm Hexagon NPU also offers up to 45 TOPS that boosts its generative AI performance and speed.

You can pull up the Copilot AI Chatbot with just a click of the dedicated button beside the right Alt key. Responses are fast and concise as long as you ask it with specific and straightforward questions.

I didn’t encounter inaccurate or outdated information, and it usually adds reference links so you know you get credible sources.

Generating images is also fairly fast and precise in its details. Just make sure you write your prompts clearly and keep it within community standards.

Using the microphone to interact with the AI chatbot has also come a long way, Copilot’s speaking voice will make you think that you’re talking to an actual human. I even used Filipino to talk with it and it answered in our language.

But the Zenbook A14’s AI capabilities are not limited to the Copilot chat. It’s also equipped with a variety of built-in AI tools that make PC use more seamless and productive:

Paint Features: Generate images from text or using your own scribbles using Paint’s Cocreator. The app is also now capable of Generative Fill and Erase.
Photos App Features: Generate photos with Image Creator; turn images into different styles with Restyle Image; and turn blurry photos into crisp images with Super Resolution.
Windows Studio Effects: Control your camera’s lighting and background filter which automatically applies to all your video calls, whatever the platform.
Live Captions: Get real-time subtitles and translations on your calls.

Windows continues to develop more exciting updates for Copilot+ PCs with the following AI tools slated to further streamline your workflows and organize your digital workspace:

Recall: This app creates a timeline of your PC screen snapshots. When you need to find something you saw on your screen, whether it’s in an email, webpage, or document, you simply describe it and the AI will find it for you instantly.
Improved Windows Search: Looking for your files is no longer constrained to specific file names and content. Just describe what’s in the photo or file you’re looking for in your own words and Windows Search can now understand it.
Click to Do: This feature offers advanced options when you click on a type of content. You can swiftly rewrite and refine text, remove or blur image backgrounds, and so much more with just a click.

Even without the use of its AI capabilities, the Zenbook A14 is also an excellent daily driver PC. Working with multiple tabs is a breeze while the lightweight dual fan setup keeps the ultraportable cooled and quiet.

Its performance also doesn’t change whether it’s plugged or running on battery. Work with your PC’s full potential even when you’re out and about and far from the nearest electric outlet.

For a closer look at how this AI PC fares in terms of processing power, here are our unit’s benchmark scores:

CineBench R23 – 916 (Single-Core); 4960 (Multi-Core)
GeekBench 6 – 2110 (Single-Core); 10540 (Multi-Core)

Ports & Power for On-The-Go Professionals

When an ultraportable pushes its boundaries, connectivity is usually compromised. ASUS made sure that you still have access to PC peripherals with the Zenbook A14’s full lineup of ports.

On its left is an HDMI 2.1 port, 3.5mm combo audio jack, and two type-C USB 4 ports with display and power delivery. Meanwhile, on the right side is a single type-A USB 3.2 port.

Powering this laptop is a lightweight 48Wh battery that takes advantage of the Snapdragon X chip’s generally lower battery consumption.

The Zenbook A14 promises up to 23 hours of offline video playback, but we also tested it for its intended use.

The usual productivity tasks such as browsing the internet and typing documents consumed 11% to 13% of the battery every hour. Interacting with Copilot, the laptop lost only 5% of battery at the 30-minute mark.

As for media consumption, watching videos online decreased the battery by 9% every hour.

All these tests were done under Balanced Mode and with settings that suited my well-lit and quiet workspace: 40% brightness and 50% volume. If you want to save battery, you can always switch to Best Power Efficiency mode.

Juicing up the laptop is a very compact 65W fast charger with the Ultra Mini Universal Adapter. When powered off, I got my test unit charged from 0% to 55% in just 30 minutes, and to 86% in the 1-hour mark.

The Zenbook A14 didn’t just showcase portability through its weight, it’s also highly flexible with its array of ports, and balances lightness with long-lasting productivity.

Our Verdict: Today’s Lightest AI PC Goes Beyond The Grams

It’s an impressive feat that the Zenbook A14 achieved a featherweight form that even beats 13-inch ultraportables. And it didn’t lose its Zenbook identity in the process, remaining a full-fledged 14-inch laptop with a stylish look and even more AI capabilities.

With the Snapdragon X chip at its core, they were able to tuck in a smaller battery that doesn’t drain as fast while the dedicated 45 TOPS NPU works wonders in bringing the full power of a Copilot+ PC to your fingertips.

Whether you’re a student, an office professional, or a digital nomad, this laptop makes both physical and digital work a lot lighter without breaking the bank.

The Zenbook A14 is truly built for the kind of productivity that takes you places.

You can now get the ASUS Zenbook A14 for P65,995 inclusive of a lifetime subscription to Microsoft Office Home 2024 and 1-year access to Microsoft 365 Basic.

It also comes with an ASUS Service Package with 2-year international warranty and 1-year accidental damage protection.

Lenovo™ at MWC 2025: Expanding the Boundaries of AI-Powered Creativity, Productivity, and Innovation
Today at MWC 2025, Lenovo announced new Yoga and IdeaPad AI laptops, alongside software and innovative new proofs of concept visuals and accessories that leverage the power of AI to supercharge creativity and productivity for consumers. With a greater selection of Copilot+¹ AI PCs offering AI-enabled experiences like Windows Studio Effects, new NVIDIA GPU options for heavy-duty processing tasks, and new Lenovo Aura Edition laptops imagined with Intel that streamline the PC experience, Lenovo’s new Yoga and IdeaPad laptops make creating, completing tasks, and enjoying content seamless, simple, and fun. Lenovo’s new AI laptops, software, and concepts unveiling at MWC continue to expand on the company’s wide AI portfolio, embodying its promise to deliver Smarter Technology for All – combining cutting-edge innovation, user-centric versatility, and exceptional value to meet the needs of more consumers.

“As we push the limits of AI innovation higher than ever, it is important to remember that delivering access to AI for all is equally a core tenet of Lenovo’s philosophy. Likewise, as we endeavor to redefine the boundaries of power in technology, we must ensure that it continues to be a positive force,” said Jun Ouyang, Lenovo’s Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Consumer Segment, Intelligent Devices Group. “With the announcement of innovations like the Yoga Pro 9i Aura Edition, the IdeaPad Slim 3x, and the Lenovo Yoga Solar PC Concept, Lenovo has delivered a suite of new devices and proofs of concept that empower end users to let their creativity shine, their ‘process’ unbounded by the processing of their PC thanks to AI-powered innovation.”

Yoga Solar PC Concept (POC)—A PC Powered by the Sun

The Yoga Solar PC proof of concept is designed for those who turn any space—indoors or outdoors—into a productive workspace. The device aims to bridge the gap between functionality and environmental awareness and represents Lenovo’s vision of achieving a future where renewable energy and innovation are intrinsically intertwined. The device represents a step towards this goal by featuring a solar panel with an over 24% conversion rate—one of the highest in the industry.

This conversion rate is achieved by leveraging ‘Back Contact Cell’ technology, which moves mounting brackets and gridlines to the back of the solar cells, maximizing the active absorption. The breakthrough Dynamic Solar Tracking system constantly measures the solar panel’s current and voltage, working with the Solar-First Energy system to automatically adjust the charger’s settings to prioritize sending the harvested energy to the system, helping to ensure maximum energy-savings and system stability regardless of light intensity. Even in low-light conditions, the panel can still generate power, sustaining battery charge when the PC is idle.

This innovation allows the solar panel to absorb and convert enough direct sunlight in 20 minutes to power up to one hour of video playback on the PC². And at 15mm thin and just 1.22kg, the thin and light Yoga Solar PC Concept is the world’s first ultraslim solar-powered PC³ and is an important step in realizing Lenovo’s aspiration to empower a future where creating on a PC can be done anywhere the light touches.

Two New Lenovo Yoga AI Laptops Added to Lenovo Aura Edition—Imagined with Intel

Lenovo Aura Edition imagined with Intel is the result of a multi-year collaborative development process between Lenovo and Intel to create a set of distinct software, hardware, and AI features that streamline the PC experience and make computing a more personalized, productive, and protected experience.

Innovating Now, For the Future—Lenovo’s Newest Proofs of Concept

Lenovo’s unrelenting pursuit of bringing Smarter Technology for All extends past bringing finished devices, services, and solutions to market. By continuously pushing the boundaries of innovation, Lenovo leads the evolution of technology as a force of good for humankind. In addition to the Yoga Solar PC Concept showcased above, the following proofs of concept are a testament to this drive, and manifest Lenovo’s commitment to discovering and perfecting the most innovative and impactful technology for customers worldwide.

Solar Power Kit for Yoga (POC)—Solar Powered Mobility

Likewise inspired by the same innovative vision that manifested in the Yoga Solar PC, the Solar Power Kit for Yoga proof of concept utilizes Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) to optimize solar energy conversion to convert every captured ray of sunlight into usable power. With a detachable USB-C® solar panel that can be attached to a bag, backpack, tent, or tree, the power bank can be charged wherever there is sunlight for the solar panel to capture.

AI Display with NPU Inside – Stunning Proof of Concept Now with NPU Inside Another demonstration of Lenovo’s commitment to “smarter technology for all”,Lenovo’s AI Display, a proof of concept that leverages AI to optimize user experience, comes with a discrete NPU inside. The dNPU not only enhances the monitor’s abilities, but also empowers non-AI PCs with AI computing power. With the AI Display with NPU inside, non-AI PCs will be able to use Large Language Models, receiving commands from the user, analyzing and recognizing the intent, and allowing the Assistant to execute the request. The AI Display with NPU inside still adapts to the user’s movements by automatically rotating, elevating and tilting the screen to optimize viewing angles.

Lenovo AI Stick – Plug-in Local AI Capability

The Lenovo AI Stick is a proof of concept that allows users with a non-NPU-equipped PC access to advanced AI features such as local Large Language Models (LLM) and AI-enhanced graphics apps on their device. The Lenovo AI Stick contains a 32 TOPS NPU that connects to a PC via a USB-C Thunderbolt port, allowing the PC to leverage Lenovo AI Now¹¹ functionalities. It can also be plugged into a wall socket to unleash maximum performance for demanding AI tasks.

Smart Connect – Ecosystem Integration with AI Features

Lenovo and Motorola continue to enhance device interaction with Smart Connect’s new AI-powered features. Designed to maximize efficiency and convenience, Smart Connect now leverages Lenovo AI Now¹¹ and Moto AI in existing devices, enabling users to gather information, locate files across devices, and in tandem with Moto AI, control devices with simple voice commands like “Show me my PowerPoint slides on my PC” or “Find my receipts from October”. The solution takes advantage of natural language search to help users increase efficiency and streamline activities, seamlessly integrating ecosystems for a unified multi-device experience. Smart Connect now features third-party Android integration and a new customizable dashboard for a complete view and easy management of all connected devices.

DJI Delivers Next-Level Intelligent Smartphone Photography with Osmo Mobile 7 Series

DJI, the global leader in civilian drones and creative camera technology, today launches the Osmo Mobile 7 Series. This new generation of phone gimbal takes three-axis stabilization and intelligent tracking to new heights. Both the Osmo Mobile 7P and Osmo Mobile 7 feature DJI’s seventh-generation stabilization, ActiveTrack 7.0 technology1, and a range of intelligent features for capturing cinematic-quality footage on a smartphone.

“From award-winning filmmakers to short-form content creators, DJI continues to expand our ecosystem of creative camera technologies and push the industry forward,” said Ferdinand Wolf, Product Experience Director at DJI. “With the Osmo Mobile 7 Series’ latest advances in intelligent tracking and camera stabilization, capturing beautiful, professional content with a smartphone has never been easier.”

The Osmo Mobile 7P features a more powerful three-axis smartphone stabilizer that maintains the lightweight, portable, and robust tracking capabilities of the Osmo Mobile 6. With the new Multifunctional Module¹, creators can easily track subjects and it includes integrated light control with multiple color temperature and brightness levels. When the Multifunctional Module functions as a microphone receiver, its USB-C port can be connected to your phone to deliver high-quality audio transmission while also providing extra power. It is also easy to set up thanks to the quick one-step unfolding, integrated extension rod, and built-in tripod.

The Osmo Mobile 7 is the lightest gimbal in its class, weighing about 10 ounces (approximately 300 g). Like the Osmo Mobile 7P, it features a compact design and is easy to use, but at a more entry-level price. It also allows for quick unfolding, a built-in tripod, one-step storage, and can support the Multifunctional Module (sold separately).

Power of the Multifunctional Module

The Multifunctional Module allows creators to easily track subjects using their smartphone’s native camera, live streaming apps, and other camera apps. It can accurately maintain focus in a crowd or reacquire a subject if they re-enter the frame after leaving briefly. The module can be easily attached to the gimbal with a simple magnetic clip and controlled using hand gestures1 to take photos, start or stop recording, activate tracking, or adjust a composition.

●          Showing your palm to the module starts or stops intelligent tracking.

●          Making a “V” gesture takes a photo. It can also start or stop video recording.

●          Making a “Double L” gesture with two hands adjusts a subject’s framing.

ActiveTrack 7.0: Smarter Than Ever

When paired with the DJI Mimo app1, the Osmo Mobile 7 Series can use ActiveTrack 7.0. As DJI’s most advanced tracking technology, ActiveTrack 7.0 enables the gimbal to adjust to track subjects and follow their movements automatically, even in a crowded or active environment. Smart Capture allows the gimbal to detect multiple subjects, and users can direct the gimbal to lock onto one subject or switch to a different subject with a simple tap. Smooth tracking enables the gimbal to pinpoint the shooter’s preferred focus accurately and maintains continuous tracking even if the subject is obscured or moving rapidly.

Other Standout Features

●          Side Wheel for More Cinematic Control: Creators can adjust the focal length for a more flexible composition and a smoother zoom or switch to a manual focus. Additionally, a long press enables control over the fill light, making it easy to adjust brightness and color temperature, thus simplifying your shooting experience.

●          Compatible with Apple Watch1: Using the DJI Mimo app, creators can use their Apple Watch as a smart remote for the gimbal, remotely controlling their shoot and camera feed.

●          Up to 10 hours of operational time1.

Availability

The DJI Osmo Mobile 7P and DJI Osmo Mobile 7 is available starting February 18 at all DJI authorised retail stores across key locations including SM Aura, SM Mall of Asia, SM Megamall, SM North EDSA, SM Seaside Cebu, SM Palawan, One Ayala, Abreeza Davao, SM City Dasmariñas, and SM City Pampanga.

Garmin introduces its first large-format dive computer: Descent X50i
Garmin has updated its Descent range with the announcement of the Descent™ X50i, its largest dive computer with a vivid 3” color touchscreen display¹.

Using SubWave™ sonar technology, divers can use Descent X50i to communicate with one another underwater and monitor each other’s tank pressure, depth, and distance to keep tabs on one another when visibility may be limited². They can also explore greater depths with an integrated backup dive light, 20 ATM dive rating, and leakproof metal buttons.

“Whether scuba diving, cave diving or seeking out shipwrecks, we know how important it is to have the most accurate data at all times. Featuring a big, bright display and 20 ATM dive rating, the new Descent X50i is the perfect dive computer for technical divers and a great option for recreational divers who want to clearly see key stats and critical information while exploring the underwater landscape.” – Dan Bartel, Garmin Vice President of Global Consumer Sales

Dive-focused design

Boasting a vibrant 3” color display, Descent X50i makes it easier to read more data at a glance. The touchscreen helps make setup simple and is great for navigating maps and settings to prepare for the next adventure. To take on the most technical dives, Descent X50i includes a strong sapphire lens, leakproof metal buttons and a backup dive light that is bright enough to be used while underwater. Dual elastic bands fit comfortably and securely around the wrist and feature buckles with an arrowhead attachment for easy one-handed closure while an adjustment lock can prevent slipping.

- Tide data: Before heading out, check nearby tide data³ to stay up to date on ocean conditions.
- Dive compass: Navigate above (and below) the water with a 3D dive compass.

Above-the-surface utility

Once divers are back on dry land, the dive log lets them review data, track gear, take notes and share details via their Garmin Dive™ app. They can also use the carrying case to store their Descent X50i in between dives. To prepare for their next dive, users can take advantage of built-in GPS to navigate to over 4,000 preloaded dive site locations from around the world or add extra details – like points of interest – to dive sites with DiveView maps, an extension of the preloaded TopoActive maps.
