ASUS launched the new Zenbook 14 (UX3480) in India on 5 November 2026. It comes in three versions with different processors, and prices start at Rs 1,36,990 for the Snapdragon X model. The most expensive version, with the Intel Core Ultra 9 chip and a brighter 3K OLED screen, costs Rs 1,67,990.

Prices in India

All three versions have 16GB of LPDDR5X memory and a 512GB SSD, and come with Windows 11 Home and Microsoft Office Home 2024. The colours are Arctic Blue, Komodo Coral and Zabriskie Beige. The prices and specifications here come from reports of the launch, and ASUS's own spec pages may list more detail.

Key features

• Display: the Core Ultra 9 version has a 3K ASUS Lumina OLED touchscreen at 120Hz that reaches up to 1,100 nits in HDR and covers 100% of the DCI-P3 colour range.
• AI performance: the NPU, the chip part that handles on-device AI, offers up to 50 TOPS on the AMD and Intel versions and up to 45 TOPS on the Snapdragon version.
• Battery: ASUS claims up to 33 hours of battery life, but it has not said which version or test that figure applies to. A 30-minute USB-C charge is said to give about 50%.
• Build: the Ceraluminum body is aluminium with a ceramic-like finish. ASUS says it is about 30% lighter and three times stronger than regular aluminium, and the laptop is thin at about 1.39cm. It meets the US military durability standard MIL-STD-810H.
• Other: a backlit keyboard with a Copilot key, dual speakers with Dolby Atmos, and an FHD camera with infrared for Windows Hello face login.

Where to buy and offers

The laptops are sold through ASUS stores, the ASUS e-shop, Amazon, Croma, Reliance Digital, Vijay Sales and other partners. ASUS lists no-cost EMI from Rs 7,611 a month for 18 months and low-cost EMI from Rs 6,471 a month for up to 24 months. Those are monthly instalments and not the price. No bank or cashback offers were reported, and a sale start date was not given.

ASUS also launched the Zenmouse MD202 mouse with a Ceraluminum top cover at Rs 6,999.

Which version should you pick?

The Snapdragon X version is the cheapest, and it has the smallest battery of the three at 50Wh. If you want a touchscreen and a bigger battery, the AMD version is Rs 20,000 higher. The Core Ultra 9 version costs Rs 11,000 more again and adds the sharper, faster screen. Memory and storage are the same on all three, so the choice comes down to the screen, the battery and the chip you prefer. We have not tested these laptops.

The port list was not given in the reports, and it varies by version, so check ASUS's page before you buy. We will update this post when ASUS shares more.
