The Asus Zenbook A14 not only is the winner of a CNET Editors' Choice Award, but it's one of the lightest 14-inch laptops you can buy right now. When I first saw it at CES 2025, where it won a Best of CES Award for best laptop, I was sure this would be my new travel laptop. After all, you get an OLED screen, Snapdragon X Plus chipset, 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage in a design that's lighter than Apple's MacBook Air. While I wasn't sold on the price, the ARM-powered laptop is now on sale for Memorial Day at Best Buy. This is the first time the Asus Zenbook A14 is going on sale since its launch.
