The best laptop of CES 2025 just launched, and it promises 32 hours of video playback

The new 2025 Zenbook A14 from ASUS featuring Qualcomm Snapdragon X processors and announced at CES 2025.

The ASUS Zenbook A14 is one of the most intriguing laptops of the year. It promises all-day battery life, has an OLED display, and is built with a novel material known as Ceraluminum. It's also one of the first PCs powered by the newly announced Snapdragon X processor. But arguably the most head-turning feature of the Zenbook A14 is its price. The laptop just launched with a starting price of $1,099 for a system with 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. A more affordable version of the Zenbook A14 will ship for $899 in March, but the model that just went on sale is worth a look.

It may seem odd to call a laptop announced and launched in January one of the most intriguing laptops of the year, but the Zenbook A14 was named the best laptop of CES 2025. That show saw several laptops from major manufacturers, many of which show promise and will be worth picking up. But the Zenbook A14 stood out among the sea of new hardware announcements this month.
