Featherweight Asus Zenbook A14 has MacBook Air in sight, but it’s complicated

Since we first heard the terms Copilot+ PC and AI PC, things have really moved forward. If the Qualcomm chip powered Asus Zenbook A14 is anything to go by, it is clear the Taiwanese computing giant has retrained its guns on the Apple MacBook Air. More so, because the toolset is in place. Chip maker Qualcomm has a big role to play, with last year’s Snapdragon X Elite now being joined by the Snapdragon X chips for comparatively lower priced laptops. The timing may well be a coincidence, considering Apple has just refreshed the performance and portability defining MacBook Air portfolio.
