ASUS has just unveiled their 2026 lineup in Malaysia, and it’s clear the company is going all-in on AI-powered Copilot+ PCs. Whether you’re a power user who needs dual screens, a traveler who demands ultra-light portability, or a creator who wants seamless GoPro integration, there’s something new for you. Let’s break down each model and help you figure out which one fits your needs.
Zenbook DUO: The Dual-Screen Powerhouse
The Zenbook DUO (UX8407AA) is the star of the show, and it’s genuinely unlike anything else on the market. This laptop features not one but two 14-inch 3K OLED displays — both using ASUS’s Lumina Pro OLED technology with 144Hz refresh rate and 500 nits brightness.
Under the hood, you’ll find an Intel Core Ultra X9 Series 3 processor with 16 cores capable of reaching 5.1GHz. The 99Wh dual-battery system is one of the largest in any laptop, meaning you can actually use both screens all day without hunting for a power outlet. The detachable Bluetooth keyboard lets you use it as a tablet or a traditional laptop, giving you flexibility in how you work.
The chassis uses ASUS’s Ceraluminum material — a premium blend of ceramic and aluminum that’s lightweight, durable, and resistant to fingerprints. A new hideaway hinge reduces the gap between the two screens, and the integrated kickstand lets you position the laptop comfortably in various modes.
For Malaysian users, the 99Wh battery is particularly relevant. Whether you’re working from a cafe in Kuala Lumpur, on a flight, or at a co-working space, that all-day battery life means one less thing to worry about. The dual-screen setup is perfect for professionals who need to reference documents while writing, compare data across spreadsheets, or keep communications open while working on other tasks.
The pre-order bundle includes Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones worth RM1,799 — a solid added value if you’re in the market for premium noise-cancelling headphones anyway.
Who should buy this: Developers, designers, content creators, and professionals who need serious multitasking capability in a portable form factor.
Zenbook A16: Big Screen, Tiny Weight
The Zenbook A16 (UX3607OA) makes a bold claim: it’s the first laptop powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme — the most powerful chip Qualcomm has ever produced for laptops. Despite having a spacious 16-inch 3K OLED display, it weighs just 1.2kg. To put that in perspective, that’s lighter than many 14-inch laptops.
The display itself is impressive — 120Hz refresh rate with 1100 nits peak brightness and 100% DCI-P3 color gamut. The Snapdragon chip delivers 80 TOPS of AI performance, which means it can handle AI-powered tasks locally without needing cloud connectivity.
The 70Wh battery claims over 21 hours of operation on a single charge. For travelers and digital nomads who need a large screen without the bulk, this is genuinely compelling.
Who should buy this: Users who want maximum screen real estate in an ultra-light package, travelers who need all-day battery, and anyone who values portability without sacrificing display size.
Zenbook A14: The Ultralight Champion
If the A16 seems too big, the Zenbook A14 (UX3407NA) goes even further with a weight under 1kg — specifically 0.99kg. It’s made possible by the full Ceraluminum chassis that delivers exceptional rigidity while keeping the mass down.
Despite the tiny footprint, it still packs the 18-core Snapdragon X2 Elite processor with 80 TOPS AI performance. The 70Wh battery is good for up to 35 hours of offline video playback according to ASUS’s claims. The 14-inch FHD+ OLED display offers 600 nits brightness and full DCI-P3 coverage.
Who should buy this: Travelers who prioritize weight above all else, users who need the most portable machine possible without sacrificing performance, and anyone who wants a true ultralight laptop.
Zenbook S14: Premium Everyday Portable
The Zenbook S14 (UX5406AA) occupies the premium ultraportable space. At just 1.1cm thin and 1.2kg, it’s remarkably svelte while still delivering the Intel Core Ultra 9 Series 3 processor with 16 cores and a 50 TOPS NPU.
The 14-inch 3K OLED touchscreen offers 120Hz refresh and 1100 nits brightness — that’s brighter than many dedicated monitors. Intel Arc Graphics handles visual tasks, and the Copilot key provides instant access to Windows AI features.
The pre-order bundle throws in a Harman Kardon Luna Portable Bluetooth Speaker worth RM799, adding value to an already competitive package.
Who should buy this: Professionals who want premium materials and design, everyday users who want power and portability in equal measure, and those who prefer Intel processors over Qualcomm.
Zenbook S16: AMD Powerhouse
For users who prefer AMD, the Zenbook S16 (UM5606GA) delivers. It features the AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 processor with 10 cores and 50 TOPS NPU performance, paired with Radeon 880M graphics.
The 16-inch 3K OLED display runs at 120Hz with 1000 nits brightness. The 83Wh battery provides ample runtime, and at 1.5kg, it’s reasonable for a 16-inch machine.
This model is already available in stores at RM7,999 — the most affordable way to get a large-screen Zenbook with current-generation AI hardware.
Who should buy this: AMD fans, users who want the largest Zenbook screen at the lowest price, and those who prefer AMD’s integrated graphics.
ProArt GoPro Edition: Creator’s Dream Machine
The ProArt GoPro Edition (HN7306EAC) represents a unique collaboration between ASUS and GoPro, designed specifically for content creators who use GoPro cameras.
Powered by the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor with 50 TOPS NPU and up to 128GB of unified memory, this machine can run 120 billion parameter AI models locally. That’s desktop-class AI performance in a 13-inch convertible.
The 3K OLED touchscreen supports stylus input, and the ASUS DialPad provides intuitive control for creative applications. But the real differentiator is software: the preloaded StoryCube app is the first Windows application with GoPro Cloud integration and 360-degree video support. It uses AI to categorize footage by activity — surfing, biking, snowboarding — and can organize clips by time, device, or location from your GoPro’s GPS data.
The GoPro Hotkey launches the GoPro Player with one touch, and the AI-powered search lets you find footage instantly. There’s also a GoPro HERO included in the early bird bundle worth RM999.
Who should buy this: Content creators who use GoPro cameras, video editors who need powerful local AI processing, and creators who want seamless integration between their camera and editing workflow.
ProArt PX13: Alternative Creator Option
The standard ProArt PX13 (HN7306EA) offers similar power without the GoPro focus. It uses the same AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor with 64GB of unified memory, the same 3K OLED display with stylus support, and the same ASUS DialPad.
The key difference is the software: instead of GoPro-focused features, you get MuseTree for text-to-video generation and the full suite of ASUS creator apps including StoryCube and Creator Hub.
At RM11,999, it’s RM3,000 cheaper than the GoPro Edition while delivering most of the same hardware capabilities.
Who should buy this: Creators who don’t use GoPro but need powerful AI hardware, video editors who want local AI acceleration, and professionals who need a versatile convertible for creative work.
