The ASUS Zenbook 14 (UX3480) is now on sale in the Philippines, starting at ₱76,995. The new thin-and-light laptop line went on sale on October 7 at ASUS Exclusive Stores nationwide, according to Gadget Pilipinas. Every model pairs a 14-inch OLED display with a Copilot+ PC processor, and buyers can pick between Intel, AMD, and Snapdragon versions of the same design.
Copilot+ PC is Microsoft's label for Windows laptops with an NPU (a chip section dedicated to AI tasks) fast enough to run Windows AI features on the device itself. All six Zenbook 14 variants clear that bar.

Same body, three different chip platforms
The shared hardware is the main draw. Every variant has a 14-inch WUXGA (1920 x 1200) OLED panel in a 16:10 shape with an 89% screen-to-body ratio, LPDDR5X memory, and a 512GB SSD. The chassis is all-metal with a Ceraluminum lid, weighs as light as 1.1kg, and measures 1.3cm thin. ASUS rates the battery for up to 33 hours, and it charges over USB-C.
There are real differences between the three platforms:
- Intel models are the only ones with a touchscreen, and the Core Ultra 9 version is the only one with 24GB of memory. Intel's NPU reaches 50 TOPS (trillions of AI operations per second).
- AMD models also hit 50 TOPS on the Ryzen AI 7 345, at a lower price than the Intel pair.
- Snapdragon models run Windows on Arm with a 45 TOPS NPU and anchor the line at ₱76,995.
Cooling got attention too. A larger fan and improved airflow let the laptop sustain up to 35W of processor power, which ASUS says is a 25% uplift in sustained performance over the previous model. Ports cover USB-C, USB-A, HDMI, and a 3.5mm audio jack, and the dual speakers carry Dolby Atmos tuning.
Freebies and the ZenMouse
Every purchase includes a bundle: a protective sleeve, a lifetime license for Office 2024 Home, one year of Microsoft 365 Basic with 100GB of cloud storage, up to 700GB of ASUS cloud storage, three months of Google AI Pro, and the ASUS No. 1 Quality and Service Package.
ASUS is also selling the ZenMouse MD202 separately at ₱4,995 from mid-October. It connects over Bluetooth or a 2.4GHz dongle, pairs with up to four devices, and runs up to seven months on a charge.
Which one makes sense for Filipino buyers?
The ₱76,995 Snapdragon model is the obvious entry point, and its 45 TOPS NPU still qualifies for every Copilot+ feature — just check that the specific apps you rely on run well on Windows on Arm before committing. The ₱94,995 Ryzen AI 7 345 configuration looks like the value pick for most people, matching the Intel models' 50 TOPS NPU for ₱12,000 less than the Core Ultra 7. Only the two Intel variants offer touch, so if that matters, the real starting price is ₱106,995. For context on where ASUS is positioning its Philippine lineup this season, the company also brought its ROG G1000 gaming desktop to the Philippines earlier this month.
No third-party retailers have been named yet, so ASUS Exclusive Stores are the only confirmed channel at launch, and the Zabriskie Beige Snapdragon unit is listed as coming soon.
