Asus is releasing its latest Zenbook 14 (UX3480) in India on November 5th. Following a recent launch in Europe, the new laptop introduces a proprietary chassis material and offers a wide selection of internal processors from three different chipmakers.
The laptop comes with Asus’s proprietary Ceraluminum finish, which combines the properties of aluminum and ceramic to offer better resistance to scratches, fingerprints, and everyday wear. It features a lightweight and portable design, weighing just 1.1kg and measuring 1.39cm thick. Asus offers the laptop in three nature-inspired colors: Arctic Blue, Komodo Coral, and Zabriskie Beige.
Internally, Asus is taking a broad approach to its silicon. Buyers aren’t limited to a single processor brand. The Zenbook 14 can be configured with a Snapdragon X, an AMD Ryzen AI 7 345, or up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 Series 3 processor. This covers the current generation of mobile chips across both ARM and x86 architectures. All of these configurations include neural processing units (NPUs) capable of up to 50 TOPS, which meet the hardware requirements for local AI tasks and Microsoft’s standard for Copilot Plus PCs.
Regarding battery life, Asus claims the laptop can reach up to 33 hours on a single charge. As with all manufacturer battery estimates, real-world usage will likely yield lower numbers depending on screen brightness and workload. However, the inclusion of newer, efficiency-focused chips, particularly the ARM-based Snapdragon option, should provide standard all-day usage without needing a charger.
The Zenbook 14 will be available starting at 12:00 PM on November 5th. Asus has not yet released the full retail pricing for each specific processor configuration, but the company confirmed it will offer financing plans. These include no-cost EMI options starting at ₹7,333 per month for 18 months, as well as longer 24-month plans, placing the laptop in the premium pricing tier for the Indian market.
In related news, Asus has recently launched the ProArt GR1X Mini PC powered by Nvidia’s RTX Spark Superchip, along with the ProArt P16 and P14 laptops featuring Nvidia RTX Spark graphics and 120Hz OLED displays.
