The Zenbook A14 is basically Asus' answer to the MacBook Air, with Asus representatives even telling me that the "A" very unofficially stands for Air. It's a 14-inch model with an incredibly light weight of just 2.16 pounds (or 0.98 kilograms if you live in a civilized country). This base model is running on a Snapdragon X chip with 16GB of RAM, and though the 1200p display is a gorgeous OLED panel, it doesn't have a touchscreen. It's packing 512GB of storage.
You can read all about this laptop in Chris Hoffman's review of it for PCWorld. In short, it's tiny, it's featherlight, it has a unique "ceraluminum" finish that makes it stand out, and the battery life is absolutely astonishing—70 watt-hours in a laptop this small gives it a full 24 hours in a standardized battery test. For downsides, that 8-core Snapdragon X chip (the slowest of these Arm-based options) won't blow anyone away, and it might just refuse to play some 3D-based games. (Note that this model sold by Best Buy isn't the same one in the review. It's a lighter sand color and has half the RAM and storage, 16GB/512GB, respectively.)
