I’m a MacBook fan, but the new Asus Zenbooks may make Apple fans seriously reconsider their purchase – here’s why

CES 2025 It’s been an absolute battleground for laptops. From innovative form factors to supercharged specs, it’s been nice to get a glimpse of the future.

But what about the here and now? because he best MacBooks They are dominating the market, no matter what Windows makers seem to try. But we have new Zenbooks and Vivobooks from Asus, which, to be honest, may make some people reconsider. Let me explain why.

How can you read in my hands Asus Zenbook A14 reviewThis is the next version of Copilot+ vision for PC. Snapdragon X chips have achieved amazing feats in terms of performance and power efficiency.

But what if you did the same thing and put it in an incredibly thin and light form factor? Well, you get an amazing MacBook Air: it includes an OLED display and up to (alleged) 32 hours of battery life.

Of course, the Zenbook series is bigger than that and all of these will receive updates as well:

Easily the best dual-screen laptop I’ve tested, the Asus Zenbook Duo is getting an upgrade to the latest Intel Core Ultra Series 2 chips. Hopefully, this should help with battery life and make graphics performance a breeze. faster when multitasking with GPU-intensive applications.
The Zenbook S16 and Zenbook 14 make the jump to new chips from AMD (the mid-range Ryzen AI 7 350 to be specific), which should bring them down to a lower price.

What this means is also a higher level of options in the experience than the MacBook.

That’s where the sub-$600 Vivobook 14 comes in. Sure, you can feel that low cost in some areas, but not in the places that matter, as it’s still a solid machine in hand with an excellent keyboard and panel. tactile.

Watch your back, Apple!

Apple’s march with new laptops continues, but you won’t see many hardware changes because, if we’re honest, the Cupertino team hasn’t really needed them.

This is due to the solid build quality and superior durability that many Windows laptops simply don’t have. But with ceraluminum, a variety of options and pricing from Asus, could this be the year Apple really has a rival?
