ASUS Zenbook A14
The ASUS Zenbook A14 is the one I’m most excited about right now because Snapdragon X2 Elite plus improved Windows on ARM compatibility finally feels like a real alternative to the MacBook Air. It’s lighter than the Air, has better ports (USB4, full HDMI, headphone jack), and you can even upgrade the SSD yourself.
Pros
- +Light chassis and strong value versus similarly priced competitors
- +Better port selection (USB4, full-size HDMI, headphone jack)
- +User-upgradeable SSD
- +Windows on ARM app support is much better in 2026 (more native apps, AVX2 emulation)
Cons
- -OLED is only 60Hz
- -Full performance numbers weren’t finalized in this video (full review coming)
What Matthew Moniz says
“The Asus ZenBook A14 is running Qualcomm's newest Snapdragon X2 Elite at a similar price point to the MacBook Air13, but you're getting more for your money”
