SAVE $250: The Asus Zenbook A14 (Snapdragon X Plus, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) usually retails for $999.99, but Best Buy has it on sale for just $749.99 (or 25% off) as of June 11. That's a new record low.


Best Buy has been working hard to offset the Asus ZenBook A14's $100 tariff price hike this spring. Weeks after slashing its new $999 MSRP by $200 in late May, the retailer currently has it on sale for $250 off. That discount brings it down to just $749.99 — a 25% savings and a new all-time low.

One might recall the Zenbook A14's debut at CES 2025, where it took home our Best of CES award in the laptop category for its unique construction and long battery life. Its matte-texture chassis is made from a magnesium-aluminum alloy called "Ceraluminum" that's durable, scratch-resistant, and impervious to fingerprints, but it's no clunker. The Zabriskie Beige base configuration featured in Best Buy's deal weighs only 2.4 pounds, making it a third of a pound lighter than the new 13-inch M4 Apple MacBook Air. Other design highlights include a 14-inch OLED display and a gesture-controlled trackpad.

As for that battery life, Asus has rated this Copilot+ PC at up to 32 hours per charge. Mashable has yet to put it through our official battery life test — stay tuned — but if it can get within eight hours of that advertised number, it'll be the longest-lasting laptop we've ever tried (dethroning the 13.8-inch Microsoft Surface Laptop 7).

The base ZenBook A14 is powered by a Snapdragon X Plus processor that scored on par with previous-gen MacBook Airs' M3 chips when I ran it through Primate Labs' Geekbench 6 CPU benchmark. It comes with 16GB of memory and 512GB of SSD storage, which are ideal specs for a daily driver.
