Asus' Zenbook A14 features a 1,200p OLED panel, a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus SoC, 16 GB of soldered RAM, and a 512 GB user-upgradable SSD. The laptop is impressively light at just 2.4 lb, but it still delivered impressive battery life in our tests thanks to the 70 Wh cell.

Best Buy is presently offering the Asus Zenbook A14 for just $599.99, a 40% discount from its launch price. It's equipped with a 14-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 1,920 × 1,200, a 60 Hz refresh rate, 100% DCI-P3 coverage, and a peak HDR brightness of 600 nits, confering it a VESA DisplayHDR True Black 600 certification.

Under the hood, there's a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus X1P-42-100 chipset featuring eight Oryon CPU cores boosting up to 3.4 GHz, along with 16 GB of LPDDR5X-8533 memory and a 512 GB PCIe 4.0 SSD occupying the sole M.2 2280 slot (Crucial 4 TB SSD curr. $229.99 on Amazon).

Connectivity consists of two USB4 ports (40 Gbps transfer rate, DisplayPort Alt Mode, Power Delivery), a 10 Gbps USB-A, one HDMI 2.1 (limited to TMDS), as well as a 3.5 mm combo audio jack. On the wireless side of things, there's support for Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.

The notebook's magnesium-aluminum alloy body measures 12.23 × 8.42 × 0.63 inches (310.7 × 213.9 × 15.9 mm) and weighs only 2.4 lb (1.09 kg), yet it packs a 70 Wh battery pack that can charge at up to 65 W with the included USB-C adapter.

If the Asus Zenbook A14 piqued your interest, be sure to check out our review of it, as we appreciated its robust chassis and good battery life. Among its shortcomings would be the display exhibiting PWM flickering and lack of RAM expandability.
