EN→NLAsus Zenbook A16 is a bit of a step into the future. It features Qualcomm’s new flagship Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme chip, an 18-core ARM-based processor designed to put Windows PCs on par with Apple Silicon. The result is a fantastic professional laptop. You get truly exceptional battery life, along with solid performance during pretty much all work-based tasks. There is some light gaming capability, and the Asus Zenbook A16 also does a half-decent job as a portable cinema when the work day is done, thanks to its stunning 16-inch 3k display. Cosmetically, the Asus Zenbook A16 is pretty stylish and has a pleasing tactile feel when you’re working on it. It’s absolutely feather-light too, weighing up to two pounds less than some of its direct competitors. Couple with a solid warranty offer, and you have one of the most competitive laptops in the $1,500 to $2,000 bracket.

EN→NLI'd wholeheartedly recommend the ASUS Zenbook A16 (2026) laptop to anyone who wants a lightweight laptop that doesn't sacrifice power for portability. While it's not a strong choice for gamers, it's well-suited for professionals, content creators, and people who regularly multitask across apps. If you're hoping for a true desktop replacement, I'd look elsewhere. But if you need a travel companion, its outstanding AI integration, 18-core CPU, and full-day battery life make this a standout in the slim laptop category.

EN→NLThe Asus Zenbook A16 is my favorite laptop of the year (so far), but it's going to take something really special to surpass it. It's got the power, the style, and the portability that any great thin-and-light needs, but it packs in a 16-inch display to get work done in the process. The improvements Qualcomm has made in a year with the Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme are impressive, not just for bypassing all the CPU benchmarks set by other manufacturers, but also the quantum leap in the Adreno GPU since last year's lackluster offering. This is a fantastic laptop, with every piece of the puzzle to make it a polished whole.

EN→NLWith its stellar application and AI performance, the Zenbook A16 is a modern laptop well equipped for today's demands and those of tomorrow. Because even if you aren't using your laptop to perform AI tasks now, you might next week, next month or next year. And the laptop's huge display and unbelievably thin-and-light-yet-rigid design puts it in the nexus of productivity and portability. The 16-inch OLED provides a wonderful work surface, and the sub-three-pound weight makes the Zenbook A16 an easy travel companion.

EN→NLAt $1,999.99 US, the ASUS Zenbook A16 is a very high price for what most people will get out of the device. If you are someone putting that neural processor to work, the Zenbook A16 is a fantastic buy, but for people who just want a laptop to browse, write and watch media, what you are really paying for are the quality-of-life aspects of the laptop. The lightweight, the fingerprint-free surfaces and the amazing screen are the luxuries you get from the Zenbook, but the performance may be more than you really need for the price. The ASUS Zenbook A16 impressed me with both its design and performance, but while it will be a great machine for many users, its high-end specs and price may make it feel like overkill for the average consumer.

EN→NLI'm convinced that if you want a 16-inch laptop in 2026, the Zenbook A16 is one of the best options available. Now, look, the price of the A16 isn't something most folks can look around. But a laptop with 18 cores and 48GB RAM for $1,700/£2,100 isn't something you can sniff at. If you bought an equivalent desktop, you'd easily be looking at more than $2.5K, if not much more. It's realistically a snip at this price, given how much CPU processing you get and the sheer volume of RAM at today's prices. The Asus Zenbook A16 is a remarkable machine. It shouldn't exist in the way it does — a 16-inch laptop with an 18-core CPU, 48GB RAM, and a stunning 3K display that somehow weighs just 1.2kg and lasts all day on a single charge. Yet here we are. The A16 is a great bit of kit. The Ceraluminum chassis punches well above its weight, the keyboard is a pleasure to type on, and the port selection is perfect for most scenarios. The 3K 120Hz display is wonderful, perfect for work and play, and very easy on the eyes. I can't lie that the screen bezels could be better, though. Gaming on the Asus Zenbook A16 wasn't great, and local LLM and AI tool support remains hit and miss on Snapdragon, but that will also change in time as Qualcomm's powerful chips feature in more devices. NPUs are all the rage, but there aren't enough apps specifically devoted to the hardware yet. But none of that changes the core proposition: this is one of the most capable and portable 16-inch laptops on the market currently. If you need serious processing power on the go and don't want to sacrifice portability to get it, the Zenbook A16 delivers in a way very few laptops can. It's expensive, but it earns every penny.

EN→NLAs the Asus Zenbook A14 was put on the right track to take on the MacBook Air last year, this year’s A14 and A16 march forward when it comes to performance, but while the A16 shows up strongly with pro level performance in a skinny body, the A14 takes a step back in value for money. For great ultra-portable all-rounders, Apple stays, and if you’re loyal to Microsoft’s OS and want that same experience, the Zenbook A14 is a good (if expensive) alternative. Meanwhile, the A16 sets a new precedent for a thin and light pro machine that bridges the gap between MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, but the stamina suffers because of it. And with adjusted pricing showing the gap widening in bang for buck between Apple and Asus, what was a shoe-in for two of my favorite systems of the year has left me feeling indifferent.

EN→NLNeither Qualcomm nor Apple can particularly claim to be battery kings. Laptops with the latest x86 chips are similarly capable of running all day. One of the best laptops for battery life we’ve tested is the 2026 Dell XPS 14. The laptop has a special LG-made LCD screen that will lower to 1Hz refresh rates when displaying static content. Whatever battery benchmarks you may find online will not relate to real-world longevity, depending on how you use your laptop. So you’re left with a choice. You could get this laptop knowing you’ll be constraining yourself. You may face unforeseen consequences. And yes, you’ll be limiting your gaming potential. And for all that, you may still have a great laptop that may get even better thanks to the Valve-endorsed Fex x86 on ARM emulator. Just know that if you don’t get it now, I can’t guarantee the Zenbook A16 will stay $1,700 for much longer.

EN→NLYes. With the Acer Swift 16 AI, we were impressed with how a 16-in laptop could deliver great performance and big-screen usability in such a slim and light package. Asus's new rival gives you even more power on tap in an even slimmer, lighter body. The screen is incredible and the sound impressive, and there's little reason for business users to avoid the Snapdragon architecture these days unless they're running legacy software or specific hardware that needs an x86 processor to run. Games may be a different story, but for professional purposes, the Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme does an outstanding job. In fact, the only reason to hold back is the price. £2099 is reasonable for a laptop with these capabilities and this performance, not to mention the generous 48GB of RAM, but that price point moves the Zenbook A16 out of the more affordable market segment of the original A14. Next to the Acer Swift 16 AI, it might look pricey. Given the performance and all-around quality, the A16 justifies the extra, and this is the top-of-the-range spec. Less expensive versions should be coming down the line.

EN→NLQualcomm has come a long way in a single processor generation. Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme is a fantastically powerful yet efficient chipset that also addresses most of the software concerns around its predecessor. It either keeps pace or bests the Intel and AMD competition on Windows, and comfortably matches some of Apple’s beefiest processors for outright oomph. It should absolutely be in the conversation for anyone looking for a do-anything ultraportable that can go all day away on battery power alone. The Zenbook A16 puts the chip in a great light, with amazingly portable yet sturdy build, gorgeous display and ample connectivity. It’s not perfect: the somewhat slippery keyboard takes some getting used to and I’ve heard better sound from other thin and light laptops. The high-end CPU commands a high price, too – one not everyone needs to pay if they’re mainly doing basic desktop tasks. That said, it’s now the first laptop that comes to mind for a Windows-powered alternative to a tricked-out 15in MacBook Air or M5 Pro-powered 17in MacBook Pro.

EN→NLIn the Zenbook A16, Asus has managed to make what I feel confident in labelling the least cumbersome 16-inch laptop I've ever personally tested – and one of the first that didn't feel inconvenient compared to a 14-inch alternative. That's a bigger testimonial than it sounds, but it was only slightly let down by the Ceraluminum finish that I can't quite vouch for. Pricing is also an impossible-to-ignore factor, and it might mean that the showstopping Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme chipset isn't a smart choice for the vast majority of people – it does bring hugely impressive performance (but spotty gaming coverage). That makes what feels like a mainstream contender more niche in reality, but some of the step-down versions (and the A14, of course) are likely to be more unqualified winners. As it stands, Asus' 16-inch Zenbook is a sleek beauty – so if you're after Windows laptop in such a size, then the A16 is a surefire high-end option.

EN→NLThis Zenbook A16 is a peculiar product. Let’s get one thing straight and clear: when it comes to Snapdragon Windows laptops, it’s still all about how the software that you’re planning on running works on this hardware. Or whether it works at all. Software compatibility has improved over the last year, but the experience is still not entirely what’s offered with x86 Intel/AMD hardware, especially when it comes to older software or localized/specialized programs. On the other hand, standard apps work fine, smoothly and efficiently on this hardware, and I still believe Snapdragon laptops are at their best in the mid-range segment, for casual everyday use.

EN→NLThe Asus Zenbook A16 (2026) is one of the most complete ultrabooks you can purchase, with fantastic performance from its Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme processor, a dazzling 16-inch OLED screen and fantastic endurance. You will have to pay quite a premium for it, though. The LG Gram Pro 16 is the closest rival here, trading out the Snapdragon chip for a more modest eight-core Intel Core Ultra 7 258V and switching to an IPS screen rather than OLED. You get as light a chassis, too, and longer battery life, while saving a few hundred pounds or dollars. Likewise, the Acer Swift 16 AI features a high-res OLED screen and solid endurance, although it sacrifices some performance and is heavier, but it is virtually half the price of the Asus choice. The Zenbook A16 (2026) is a fantastic Arm-based Windows ultrabook, just as long as you’ve got the dough to pick one up. For more options, though, check out our list of the best laptops we’ve tested.

EN→NLIwent into 2025 incredibly amped to review ASUS's 2.2-pound ZenBook A14, only to be disappointed by the lackluster performance of its Snapdragon X chip. I'm still a bit heartbroken, to be honest. But now ASUS is back with a revamped A14 and a larger 16-inch ZenBook A16, both of which sport new Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme chips. The A16 is slightly heavier at 2.6 pounds and 2.9 pounds, but it still competes with LG’s Gram Pro 16. And thanks to Qualcomm's new hardware, it's actually speedy enough to compete with Intel and AMD ultraportables. Take everything I initially liked about the ZenBook A14 last year — its thin design and portability, its smooth "Ceraluminum" case and its bold OLED screen — stretch it out a bit, and you've got the ZenBook A16. There's an understated beauty to its design that's far more intriguing than ASUS's mainstream notebooks, like the ZenBook 14 OLED from a few years ago, and it's not trying as hard to impress as ASUS's typical gaming notebooks. It's similar to the company's gorgeous Zephyrus G14 and G16 machines, which feel high-end without needing too much gaming bling.
