The ASUS Zenbook 14 Copilot+ PC has launched in the UAE, timed for the Back-to-School season. The launch is led by the Snapdragon X-powered Zenbook 14 UX3480QA, priced from AED 3,999, with AMD and Intel versions to follow.
The Zenbook 14 UX3480QA, by the numbers
The Snapdragon X chip brings a 45 TOPS NPU for on-device AI, and the whole machine weighs 1.1kg. The lid is Ceraluminum, ASUS’s ceramic-aluminium finish, offered in Zabriskie Beige and Arctic Blue for the UAE.
The 14-inch 16:10 WUXGA OLED display has an 89% screen-to-body ratio, full DCI-P3 coverage and a 0.2ms response time. Memory runs up to 16GB of LPDDR5X and storage to a 512GB PCIe Gen 4 SSD, with WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3 and the full port set: two USB-C, one USB-A, HDMI 2.1 and a headphone jack. A 50Wh battery pairs with a 68W USB-C charger.
Cooling is rated to a 35W TDP, a 25% increase over the previous generation, with a larger fan and added dust protection. Windows Hello, an IR camera and Microsoft Pluton cover the security side.
ASUS Zenbook 14 price in the UAE
The UX3480QA is AED 3,999 in Zabriskie Beige and AED 4,999 in Arctic Blue. Sharaf DG is taking pre-orders now, and the laptop is listed on ASUS’s own UAE store alongside the rest of the Zenbook line.
Buyers get three months of Google AI Pro — expanded Gemini access and 5TB of cloud storage — redeemable through the MyASUS app. Registering the laptop within 90 days activates ASUS Perfect Warranty, which adds accidental damage cover.
The AMD and Intel versions arrive later: a UX3480KA with a Ryzen AI 7 345 (50 TOPS NPU) and a UX3480AA with up to a Core Ultra 9 Series 3 (50 TOPS NPU). ASUS has not set their UAE pricing or dates.
ASUS launched the Zenbook A14 and A16 in the UAE earlier this year from AED 5,499, and the Zenbook Duo starts at AED 9,599.
The ASUS Zenbook 14 lands below both, in the price band where most Back-to-School laptop shopping happens.
