To maintain performance in a slim chassis, ASUS equipped the laptop with a CNC-machined 3D vapor chamber cooling system, along with dual IceBlade fans designed to keep noise levels below 25 dBA during operation.

Zenbook 14 focuses on portability and everyday productivity
Meanwhile, the ASUS Zenbook 14 (UM3406GA) is positioned as a more portable option for users who prioritize mobility.

- AMD Radeon graphics
For battery endurance, the Zenbook 14 is equipped with a 75Wh battery, which ASUS claims can last up to 25 hours on a single charge.
