ASUS Zenbook 14 UX3480QA Launches with Snapdragon X and 19-Hour Battery Life
ASUS Japan has launched the Zenbook 14 UX3480QA, a new 14-inch laptop weighing just 1.1 kilograms. The device features Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X processor and a Ceraluminum chassis, with the company claiming up to 19 hours of battery life in real-world usage scenarios.
ASUS Japan has released the Zenbook 14 UX3480QA, a new 14-inch personal computer that weighs approximately 1.1 kilograms. The device utilizes Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X processor and features a chassis constructed from Ceraluminum, a material described by the company as combining the properties of ceramic and aluminum.
The Zenbook 14 UX3480QA is designated as a Copilot+ PC. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon X series, specifically the X1-26-100 chip. The laptop includes a 50Wh battery. According to ASUS Japan’s internal testing, the device can operate for up to 30 hours on a single charge under specific conditions.
In independent benchmarking using the UL Procyon suite, the Zenbook 14 UX3480QA demonstrated significant endurance. During the Video Playback One Hour Battery Consumption test, which involves playing video content at 150 nits of brightness with Wi-Fi enabled, the laptop lasted approximately 19 hours. This result represents a five-hour improvement over previous models.
The company noted that this battery performance exceeds typical expectations for laptops in its class. The efficiency is attributed to the low power consumption of the Snapdragon X processor and optimized thermal design. ASUS Japan stated that the device consumes only 2.6 watts during active video playback, contributing to its extended operational time.
