Now, I look forward to testing both of these and seeing where Asus position them price-wise. I expect the Intel variant to cost a pretty penny at well over 3K USD/EUR, especially with all tech being more expensive in 2026 due to the RAM/SSD situation, while the AMD model should offer better value, hopefully around 1800-2000 USD/EUR or even lower.

14.00:
14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact.
In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.
