Unload: Sub-1kg all-Ceraluminum design 

Weighing in at under 1 kg, Zenbook A14 sets the new benchmark for ultraportable Copilot+ PCs. Its elegant, lightweight design is ideal for frequent travelers, allowing them to move effortlessly without being weighed down by their tech.  

The chassis is crafted entirely from our innovative Ceraluminum, a sumptuously tactile material that's 30% lighter and three times stronger than anodized aluminum. This advanced material ensures durability and portability, making it ideal for everyday use. The nature-inspired color palette adds a sophisticated touch to the minimalist looks, aligning with the Zenbook tradition of timeless design. 

Ceraluminum undergoes rigorous lab testing to meet tough real-world conditions. For scratch resistance, the material is tested by placing the laptop, along with keys and coins, inside a rotating drum. Shock resistance is tested by dropping the laptop from a 50cm height, and wear resistance is evaluated by rubbing the material 18,000 times in the same place to check the color doesn't fade. This robust testing ensures that Zenbook A14 remains scratch-free, resilient to shocks, and maintains its pristine looks, providing users with a laptop that is both lightweight and exceptionally durable.
