Zenbook A14 (UX3407)
The Zenbook A14 (UX3407) sets a new standard for ultra-light AI laptops, weighin

For those who are not familiar with Ceraluminum, this is a recyclable aluminum-ceramic material, exclusively developed by ASUS and recently announced. This material is 30% ligh
ter but 3 times more durable than conventional aluminum alloy, makin
g Zenbook A14 not only thin and light but also extremely durable, effectively resistant to scratches, wear and stains. Not to mention, the Ceraluminum shell is non-slip, so it feels quite sturdy in the hand.
In actual experience, it must be affirmed that the super light weight of Zenbook A14 gives a feeling of excitement when using. For example, when needing to take the device from the table, the writer only needs to use one hand to lift it up gently. In addition, the nature of the working environment often involves leaning on the sofa, so the writer appreciates Zenbook A14 even more, the product is "light as silk" when placed on the lap, stomach or chest.
The entertainment experience on this laptop is also quite satisfying with a high-contrast Lumina OLED screen, and a super-linear speaker system that delivers impressive surround sound effects. The Full HD resolution of this screen cannot be called super sharp, but it is enough for a portable laptop for office work. In return, the maximum brightness of 600 nits with HDR can be used well even when sitting slightly against the sun in a garden cafe.

With this product, ASUS also became the first laptop company to bring Qualcomm's Snapdragon X series processor to Vietnam, specifically the X1-26-100. This ARM-based processor with integrated artificial intelligence (AI) achieves 45 TOPS (45 trillion calculations per day) combined with 16GB DDR5 RAM and 512GB SSD, ensuring optimization for AI tasks right on the device instead of depending on online services, from AI image processing with Canva to AI video editing on CapCut,...
However, for the writer personally, AI is too obvious for most PCs, laptops and even smartphones released in 2025. What is more noteworthy about the Zenbook A14 is the battery life of up to 32 hours of continuous video playback, according to the company's announcement. In practice, using a mixture of multiple tasks and intermittently (listening to YouTube Music, typing, surfing the web, texting, etc.), the writer found the battery life to be really "strong" and felt secure to use without charging when starting the day at 100% and in the afternoon at 67%.
Zenbook 14
Different from the gentle style of Zenbook A14 (UM3406), Zenbook 14 model exudes strength with a solid alloy surface with diagonal lines that have a dark - light effect like rays of light. Thanks to the shell that is about 10% thinner than the previous generation, the overall machine is still quite impressive when the thickest position is only 14.9mm. Although Zenbook 14 is 228g heavier than Zenbook A14, it is not a big problem when the writer can still hold it with one hand.
