Asus is gearing up to make waves at the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas with the debut of a groundbreaking addition to its Zenbook lineup. The company has teased a new ultra-thin, ultra-lightweight laptop that it claims is the world’s lightest Copilot+ PC, promising an impressive battery life of up to 32 hours.
According to an official statement from Asus, the upcoming laptop is designed to provide “a seamless blend of elegance and functionality,” catering to professionals, content creators, and everyday users alike. While exact details about the laptop’s specifications remain under wraps, its extraordinary battery endurance could position it as a game-changer for frequent travelers and mobile professionals.
The new laptop will be part of the Zenbook series, which already features innovative models like the Zenbook S14, powered by Intel’s Lunar Lake-based Core Ultra processors, and the Zenbook S16, equipped with AMD’s Ryzen AI chips. Speculation suggests that the unparalleled battery life of this new model may be attributed to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X platform, known for its energy-efficient performance. However, Asus has yet to confirm this.
Battery life claims like Asus’ ambitious 32-hour figure are often tested under optimal conditions—minimal background processes, light tasks, and reduced screen brightness. Real-world usage typically yields slightly lower results. For instance, our tests of Lenovo’s ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 with the Snapdragon X Elite processor achieved approximately 21 hours of battery life, falling short of Lenovo’s 24-hour claim but still setting a benchmark for endurance in practical scenarios.
When it comes to weight, Asus’ new laptop will face stiff competition from industry heavyweights like LG and Fujitsu. LG’s Gram series, celebrated for its portability and lightweight design, boasts models that weigh under 1kg while delivering robust performance. Similarly, Fujitsu’s Lifebook UH-X series, weighing under 900 grams, is a top contender for professionals seeking a lightweight yet durable solution.
Asus has announced that all details, including specifications, pricing, and availability, will be disclosed at its AIways Incredible launch event on January 7. The event will also be streamed live globally, allowing tech enthusiasts worldwide to get a first look at this innovative laptop and other new products from Asus.
With the promise of unmatched portability and record-breaking battery life, Asus’ latest Zenbook model could redefine expectations for modern laptops, offering a glimpse into the future of mobile computing.
