Overview
- Asus, which announced Canadian availability Friday, set the Zenbook A16's MSRP at C$2,799 with sales beginning April 20 on the Asus Store.
- The 16-inch model pairs Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme 18-core chip and an 80 TOPS neural processor with a 3K 120Hz OLED display in a 1.2–1.3 kg Ceraluminum chassis.
- Asus markets over 21 hours on a charge, yet MobileSyrup measured about 6–7 hours on Balanced and 7–8 hours on Efficiency, rising to just over eight hours after an April 7 firmware update.
- Separately in India, the new Zenbook S14 with an Intel Core Ultra 9 Series 3 processor and a 14-inch 3K OLED display launched at Rs. 1,79,990 across online and offline channels.
- Reviewers credit the A16’s speed and screen but note the higher-resolution 120Hz panel and an unchanged 70Wh battery draw more power, which helps explain the shorter real-world runtimes.
