On the performance side of things, the IPS LCD variant of the Asus Zenbook A14 is powered by Qualcomm’s 8-core Snapdragon X chipset, while the OLED model gets the more powerful 12-core Snapdragon X Elite unit.
Both models come with Qualcomm’s Hexagon NPU that can deliver up to 45 Tera Operations Per Second (TOPS) and is paired with 32GB of LPDDR5x-8448 RAM and 1TB of PCIe Gen 4 SSD.
With great performance comes great cooling, right? Well, with the Asus Zenbook A14, you get a dual-fan thermal system, which enables up to 45W chipset power while maintaining quiet operation.

Connectivity-wise, the IPS LCD model packs WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3, while the OLED model is equipped with more advanced WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. Both variants come out of the box with FHD webcams, along with two speaker units.
