Asus Zenbook A16 - 2026

At the time of writing, the Asus Zenbook A16 is easily the best full-sized slim and superlight laptop on the market. It weighs next to nothing, has a superb OLED screen, an excellent sound system, and the looks and build quality are second to none.

The Asus Zenbook A14 and A16 are mightily impressive ultraportables with great designs, stellar ergonomics and tasty OLED panels. But they take the fight to Apple in two different ways. While the 14-inch offers a solid balance of performance and power efficiency, the X2 Elite Extreme in the A16 turns that turbo up a notch at the expense of battery life — becoming an uber light prosumer system.

The Asus Zenbook A16 houses a speedy Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme, but has a cheap-feeling chassis for its price, and it doesn't last long enough on a charge.

The Zenbook A16 is the lightest 16-inch ultraportable we’ve seen yet, and it’s surprisingly capable thanks to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X2 chips.

The 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.
