Asus has launched its new Zenbook 14 in Spain, with prices starting at 799 euros. The 1.1-kilo laptop claims more than 21 hours of battery life and includes built-in AI tools.
The Zenbook 14 arrived in Madrid after its first showing at Computex 2026. The 14-inch laptop weighs 1.1 kilos and promises more than 21 hours away from a charger. That is Asus's main pitch.
One version uses Qualcomm's Snapdragon X platform. The wider family also comes with Intel and AMD hardware. Spanish reports confirm that the laptop has reached the local market, with prices starting at 799 euros for the Snapdragon X configuration.
Asus lists the Zenbook 14 family in three platform versions: Intel Core Ultra, AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 and Qualcomm Snapdragon X.
Asus sees the laptop as a machine for work, creative tasks and leisure. Portability is not a side feature here. The company has built the product around a low weight and a long claimed battery life.
The body uses Ceraluminum. Asus says the material keeps the chassis light and resistant. The computer still has the familiar shape of a 14-inch laptop. It is not a smaller device built only for occasional use.
The battery figure matters most.
The Spanish launch price starts at 799 euros for the base Snapdragon X version. Asus also cites up to 30 hours of video playback for the Snapdragon configuration, while other launch materials refer to more than 21 hours in a mixed-use scenario; the figures describe different testing conditions.
Asus says the Zenbook 14 can run for more than 21 hours. The company says that capacity can cover long working periods without a charger. Its announcement does not give extra testing conditions for that figure.
Asus gives a separate figure in its own materials. The Snapdragon version can deliver more than 30 hours of video playback. The two claims describe different uses and testing conditions.
For people who move between home, work and travel, the combination is easy to understand. The laptop is light. The battery claim is long.
The display is a 14-inch FHD OLED panel. Asus has also added Copilot, Cocreator and Recall. These Windows AI tools are part of the Snapdragon-based model's pitch.
AI is the second major part of the package after battery life. Asus presents the computer as a direct work tool, not simply as a faster or lighter laptop. Its Copilot+ PC positioning puts the Zenbook 14 within the wider move toward Windows laptops with dedicated AI features.
Adrià Pascual, SYS Country Head of Asus, said the company now sees the challenge as more than a question of raw performance. He linked the Zenbook 14 to a market where users expect one portable computer to handle professional tasks, creative work and entertainment.
Asus also points to its own investment figures. The company says it has more than 17,000 employees. Of that total, 5,500 work in research and development, while more than 1,000 specialise in artificial intelligence.
Asus reports a 41% increase in revenue and a 57% rise in net profit. The manufacturer places those figures alongside its growing focus on AI.
The Zenbook 14 has a clear formula. One configuration uses Snapdragon X. The laptop weighs 1.1 kilos and has a Ceraluminum body. Its OLED screen and claimed battery life complete the package.
The AI tools fit Asus's 2026 strategy. The simpler consumer argument is stronger. A lightweight 14-inch laptop that can stay away from the charger for most of a long day gives mobility a measurable advantage. That is where Asus sees the future of portable PCs.
