“Capable and highly portable”: Asus’ new Zenbook is certainly easy to carry around — but I don’t think it’s the best model in the line

The new Zenbook 14 is a capable workaday machine, and its unique construction and ultra portable design really shine. However, one of its biggest problems is the Zenbook A14, a very similar laptop to the Zenbook 14 in almost every way, except it has a much longer battery life. Considering it and other keen rivals occupy a similar price point, you may be better off spending your money elsewhere.

Pros

+Unique colorways and materials
+Lightweight, portable form
+Capable everyday performance

Cons

-Keyboard flexes as you type
-Mediocre battery life
-A14 might be better value
