But it's not the only powerful and lightweight laptop Asus unveiled at CES this week. Alongside the Zenbook A14, the company also announced five new 14-inch models, each weighing just 1.28 kg (2.82 lbs) — Jesus Christ, are they light!

The top two Zenbook 14 models feature Intel Core Ultra 9 285H processors with Intel Arc graphics and 32GB of LPDDR5X RAM.
