This $649 Windows laptop competes with my MacBook Air (and does a few things better)

The Asus Zenbook A14 is one of my favorite laptops of 2025: a gorgeous OLED display, long-lasting battery, and ultralight form factor. Right now, it's $350 off at Best Buy.

• The Asus Zenbook A14 with 16GB of memory is on sale at Best Buy for $649 - the lowest price we've seen yet.
• It's a fantastic balance of innovation and value with a brilliant OLED display, competitive hardware, and a satisfying physical form.
• While its use case is clearly defined, the laptop has its limits when it comes to high-end performance.
