ASUS Philippines has launched the latest Zenbook 14 UX3480, expanding its ultraportable lineup with Intel, AMD, and Snapdragon processor options, new nature-inspired colors, Copilot+ PC capabilities, and a lightweight all-metal design.
Available in Intel UX3480AA, AMD UX3480KA, and Snapdragon UX3480QA configurations, the new Zenbook 14 combines the brand’s Ceraluminum craftsmanship with AI-powered performance, ASUS OLED displays, full I/O connectivity, and up to 33 hours of battery life.
“The goal isn’t perfection. The goal is to help the laptop age better over time,” said Rachelle Lozares, consumer notebook product marketing lead at ASUS Philippines. “At the heart of the new Zenbook 14 is a simple philosophy: great design is not about adding more. It’s about refining what matters.”
LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN WITH CERALUMINUM
Designed for users who work, learn, and connect from different locations, the Zenbook 14 weighs as little as 1.1kg and features a slim, all-metal chassis.
Its lid uses ASUS-exclusive Ceraluminum, a material developed to combine durability with a ceramic-like tactile finish. The latest generation introduces three nature-inspired colors: Arctic Blue, Komodo Coral, and Zabriskie Beige.
Ceraluminum is engineered to resist scratches, smudges, and everyday wear, supporting ASUS’ emphasis on a notebook that maintains its appearance over time. The design is complemented by up to 33 hours of battery life, fast charging, and a compact USB-C charger that can also power compatible everyday devices.
THREE PROCESSOR PLATFORMS FOR COPILOT+ PC
The Zenbook 14 UX3480 is offered across three processor platforms, with each configuration certified as a Copilot+ PC and equipped with a dedicated neural processing unit.
The Intel-powered Zenbook 14 UX3480AA is available with up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 Series 3 processor and an NPU delivering up to 50 TOPS. The AMD UX3480KA offers up to an AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 processor with a 50 TOPS NPU, while the Snapdragon UX3480QA uses a Snapdragon X processor with a 45 TOPS NPU.
The three platforms support AI-assisted productivity, search, content creation, multitasking, and other Copilot+ PC experiences. Users can therefore select a configuration based on their preferred processor platform while retaining the broader Zenbook 14 design and feature set.
UPDATED COOLING FOR SUSTAINED PERFORMANCE
ASUS has also updated the laptop’s thermal system with a larger fan and refined airflow intended to move heat more efficiently during sustained workloads.
Additional dust protection helps maintain consistent operation, while the system supports up to a 35W TDP, representing a 25% increase over the previous generation.
The combination is intended to balance performance, thermal management, and quieter operation in a chassis designed primarily for mobility.
OLED DISPLAY AND FULL I/O
The Zenbook 14 features an ASUS OLED display with a 16:10 aspect ratio and up to an 89% screen-to-body ratio. Philippine configurations offer WUXGA OLED displays, with selected models adding touchscreen functionality.
Dual speakers enhanced with Dolby Atmos handle audio, while a larger smart-gesture touchpad and backlit keyboard support everyday navigation and productivity.
Connectivity includes USB-C, USB Type-A, HDMI, and an audio combo jack. The full set of ports is intended to reduce the need for additional dongles when connecting common peripherals.
INTEL, AMD, AND SNAPDRAGON CONFIGURATIONS
The Intel lineup begins with the Zenbook 14 UX3480AA-U2477WSM, equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 355 processor, 16GB LPDDR5X memory, 512GB SSD, and 14-inch WUXGA OLED 16:10 touchscreen. It carries an introductory price of PHP106,995.
A higher-spec Intel UX3480AA-U2489WSM configuration uses the Intel Core Ultra 9 386H processor, 24GB LPDDR5X memory, a 512GB SSD, and the same 14-inch WUXGA OLED touchscreen. It is priced at PHP129,995.
For AMD, the UX3480KA-U1135WSM pairs the AMD Ryzen AI 5 330 processor with 16GB LPDDR5X memory, 512GB SSD, and 14-inch WUXGA OLED 16:10 display for PHP86,995. The Ryzen AI 7 345-powered UX3480KA-U1137WSM, also with 16GB memory and 512GB SSD, is priced at PHP94,995.
The Snapdragon UX3480QA-U1004WSM features the Snapdragon X X1 26 100 processor, 16GB LPDDR5X memory, 512GB SSD, and WUXGA OLED 16:10 display at PHP76,995. A Zabriskie Beige UX3480QA-U1204WSM with the same core specifications and price is scheduled to arrive later in Q4 2026.
THREE COLORS FOR THE PHILIPPINE LINEUP
At launch, the Intel and AMD models are available in Arctic Blue, while the Snapdragon configuration comes in Komodo Coral.
Zabriskie Beige will expand the Snapdragon lineup later in the fourth quarter. The three colors build on the Zenbook 14’s design direction, using its Ceraluminum finish as both a durability feature and a visual differentiator.
PRODUCTIVITY BUNDLES INCLUDED
Each Zenbook 14 comes with the ASUS No. 1 Quality and Service Package and an ASUS laptop sleeve.
The bundle also includes a lifetime license of Office 2024 Home, a one-year Microsoft 365 Basic subscription with 100GB of cloud storage, up to 700GB of ASUS Cloud Storage, and three months of Google AI Pro.
