ASUS Zenbook A16: 16-inch laptop with Snapdragon X2 Elite and OLED display

ASUS has launched international sales of its new 16-inch Zenbook A16 laptop. The device features 48GB of RAM, a 70Wh battery, and a 3K OLED display with HDR support, peak brightness of 1,100 nits, and a 120Hz refresh rate. At its core lies one of Qualcomm's most powerful mobile chips: the Snapdragon X2 Elite.

This week, ASUS introduced the Zenbook A16 to the U.S. market. The model has earned praise for its performance and lightweight design, positioning it as an alternative to the existing Zenbook S16 lineup with Snapdragon X2 processors. However, the company immediately raised the price by $100, drawing criticism from users.

Although the debut took place in the U.S., ASUS has gradually begun sales in other countries. The Zenbook A16 is already available in Australia, Eurozone countries, and the U.K. All versions come equipped with the Snapdragon X2 Elite X2E-94-100 chipset, 48GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD.

The laptop offers a thoughtful balance of power and mobility. The 70Wh battery provides ample battery life, while the 3K OLED display with high brightness makes it well-suited for graphics, video, and multimedia work.

Pricing for the Zenbook A16 varies by region: in the Eurozone, it's €1,999; in Australia, A$4,299; and in the U.K., from £1,799 to £2,099 depending on the retailer. Overall, the Zenbook A16 is positioned as a premium laptop for professionals and users who prioritize high performance and a quality display.
