Asus’ lightweight 16-inch Zenbook A16 challenges the MacBook Air

Asus released the final Zenbook A16 with a 16-inch 2880×1800 120Hz OLED and Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme.

The reviewed US configuration costs $1,599.99 and includes 48GB soldered RAM and a 1TB SSD.

Benchmarks show strong multi-core CPU performance versus the M5 MacBook Air, and real-world editing felt fast even on battery.

The laptop lasted an eight-hour mixed-use workday and includes an SD card slot plus a full set of ports.
