Asus took the wraps off four new Zenbook 14 Copilot AI laptops at Computex 2026. The lineup covers all three major processor architectures, giving buyers a choice between AMD, Intel, and Qualcomm chips. That flexibility matters for anyone shopping for a thin-and-light with dedicated AI hardware.
Four models span AMD, Intel, and Qualcomm chips
The four models carry the model identifiers UX3480KA, UX3480GA, UX3480AA, and UX3480QA. The UX3480KA runs an AMD Ryzen AI 7 345, while the UX3480GA steps up to an AMD Ryzen AI 9 465. The UX3480AA uses an Intel Core Ultra 9 Series 3, and the UX3480QA is powered by a Snapdragon X. All four are built around the same 14-inch chassis with Ceraluminum covers.
Spec comparison
| Spec | UX3480KA (AMD Ryzen AI 7) | UX3480GA (AMD Ryzen AI 9) | UX3480AA (Intel Core Ultra 9) | UX3480QA (Snapdragon X) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AI TOPS | 50 | 50 | 50 | 45 |
| Weight | 1.2 kg | 1.2 kg | 1.2 kg | 1.1 kg |
| Display | 60 Hz OLED | 3K 120 Hz Lumina OLED | 3K 120 Hz Lumina OLED | 60 Hz OLED |
| Battery life | up to 21 h | up to 21 h | up to 17 h | up to 21 h |
AI compute varies slightly between the platforms. The AMD and Intel models deliver 50 TOPS of AI performance. The Snapdragon X variant offers 45 TOPS. That difference is small but worth noting for users who run local AI workloads. The laptops weigh 1.2 kg for the Intel and AMD versions, while the Qualcomm models come in at 1.1 kg.
Display and battery options vary by configuration
Display options split across the range. The Ryzen AI 7 and lower-end Snapdragon variants ship with a 60 Hz OLED panel. The higher-tier models can be configured with a premium 3K 120 Hz Lumina OLED display. All units include an FHD IR camera for facial login, a keyboard with 1.7 mm key travel, and a dedicated Copilot key. Battery life reaches up to 17 hours on the Intel model and up to 21 hours on the others, according to Asus.
Asus offers the Zenbook 14 Copilot AI in three colors: Zabriskie Beige, Komodo Coral, and Arctic Blue. The Ceraluminum material resists scratches and smudges. The laptops meet military-grade durability standards.
Asus has not yet announced pricing or availability for the 2026 Zenbook 14 Copilot AI series. Asus will share more details closer to launch. Asus confirmed the models will launch later this year.
