Earlier this year, ASUS announced the launch of the new ZenBook A16, a high-powered Windows laptop that runs on Qualcomm’s new ARM silicon. With that in mind, the A16 is finally available to buyers in the United States, with pricing starting at $1999.99; This also includes several other ZenBook models ZenBook A14, ZenBook S16, ZenBook S14And zenbook 14.
However, that being said, the A16 does come with a highly impressive specs sheet, the highlight of which is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme chip, which has proven to be a formidable processor even compared to Apple’s M-series chips. It is coupled with 48GB of LPDDR5X RAM, making it ideal for both work and play.
The laptop also has a 70Wh lithium-polymer battery, which on paper can last up to 21 hours on a single charge, though we’d bet real-life use will still make a significant difference.
Additionally, you also get a 16-inch display with an OLED touchscreen, which comes with a sharp 3K (2880 x 1800) resolution along with a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 1100 nits of peak brightness. As far as laptop displays go, this is definitely one of the best you can find on the market, especially considering the high price.
In terms of design, the ZenBook A16 comes with what ASUS refers to as a “Ceraluminum” chassis, which despite being a larger machine, manages to stay relatively light at 1.2 kilograms (2.87 pounds). It is available from tomorrow Via ASUS Official Store As well as partner retailers.
