ASUS Philippines has officially introduced the ASUS Zenbook 14 UX3480 in the country and it brings nature-inspired colorways, on-device AI, and portability.
Starting at PHP 76,995, the ultraportable notebook gives consumers freedom of choice by offering three distinct silicon architectures across Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm Snapdragon platforms.
Ceraluminum Lid Craftsmanship and Nature-Inspired Finishes
Designed around mobility without compromise, the notebook weighs as light as 1.1kg with a slender 1.3cm silhouette. An all-metal chassis ensures durability whether you are working in classrooms, boardrooms, or coffee shops.
The laptop lid comes with ASUS-exclusive Ceraluminum, an advanced material combining the lightweight qualities of aluminum with the resilient tactile texture of ceramic. The surface repels scratches, smudges, and everyday wear to keep the chassis looking pristine over time.
Buyers can choose from three nature-themed aesthetic treatments, including Arctic Blue, Komodo Coral, and Zabriskie Beige. Each shade reflects individual style while maintaining an understated, professional elegance.
Triple Platform Choice: Intel, AMD, and Snapdragon Copilot+ PC
The Intel-powered UX3480AA model tops out with up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 Series 3 processor and a 50 TOPS NPU for demanding workflows. Meanwhile, the AMD UX3480KA edition leverages up to an AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 chip with 50 TOPS neural acceleration. For users prioritizing power efficiency, the UX3480QA variant features a Snapdragon X platform with a 45 TOPS NPU.
Vivid 16:10 OLED Visuals and Improved 35W Thermal Cooling
Front and center is a vibrant 14-inch WUXGA ASUS OLED panel boasting a 16:10 aspect ratio and an 89% screen-to-body ratio. Intel variants come equipped with touchscreen input for versatility.
Under the hood, ASUS upgraded the internal thermal cooling mechanism with a larger fan and optimized airflow channels. The cooling assembly supports up to a 35W thermal design power, representing a 25% sustained performance uplift over prior generations while resisting dust accumulation.
Users also benefit from a long battery providing up to 33 hours of endurance alongside rapid USB-C fast charging. Multimedia sessions are enhanced by Dolby Atmos dual speakers, a smart-gesture touchpad, and full I/O ports including HDMI and USB Type-A.

Launching alongside the laptop series is the companion ZenMouse MD202 wireless mouse. The accessory sports a matching Ceraluminum top cover available in Moher Gray and Scandinavian White finishes.
Equipped with Track-on-Glass optical tracking, dual-mode Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless for up to four devices, and a rechargeable battery lasting up to seven months, the mouse retails for PHP 4,995 starting mid-October.
