The laptop Asus really wanted to call the Zenbook Air (if it weren’t for an “easily spooked” legal team) is back in two sizes — the Zenbook A14 and A16 with Snapdragon X2 Elite upgrades under the hood. It’s clear that they have the M5 MacBook Airs in their sights, so do they take the fight to Apple and win? Not anymore.
The A14 was primed to take on the 13-inch M5 MacBook Air, and at the original price of just $50 more than Apple's laptop, the competition was tight. Now the cost has been hiked to $1,349 ($250 more), the Cupertino crew can breathe a sigh of relief as the smaller Air remains untouched atop the throne.
