PASIG CITY, Philippines (Mar 2026) — ASUS just dropped its 2026 Zenbook lineup in the Philippines, and it is one of the stronger premium laptop launches the local market has seen this year. Three models are on the table, each targeting a different kind of power user, with prices starting at PHP 129,995.
Zenbook DUO — the dual-screen multitasker
The Zenbook DUO is the headline act. It carries two 14-inch 3K ASUS Lumina Pro OLED touchscreen displays, each running at 144Hz, with 70% less gap between the screens compared to the previous generation. The result is a dual-display setup that feels more like one continuous workspace than two separate panels.
The laptop supports five usage modes — standard Laptop Mode, Dual-Screen Mode, Dual-Screen with Virtual Keyboard, Desktop Mode, and Sharing Mode — making it adaptable to a wide range of workflows. It is built from full Ceraluminum in Moher Gray, a material ASUS says is up to 30% lighter and three times more durable than regular metal, coming in at just 1.96cm thin.
Under the hood is an Intel Core Ultra 9 Series 3 processor with a 50 TOPS NPU, qualifying it as a Copilot+ PC with full Windows 11 AI feature support. Battery life is rated at up to 32 hours on a single screen and up to 18 hours with both displays active, backed by a dual-battery system.
The Zenbook DUO launches at PHP 179,995 and comes with 32GB LPDDR5X RAM, 1TB SSD, a lifetime Office 2024 Home license, one year of Microsoft 365 Basic with 100GB cloud storage, and ASUS’s Quality and Service Package covering a two-year international warranty and one-year accidental damage protection.
Zenbook S14 — the thinnest Zenbook ever
At 1.1cm thin and 1.2kg, the Zenbook S14 is the slimmest Zenbook ASUS has ever made. It features a 14-inch 120Hz ASUS Lumina OLED display with 1,100 nits of brightness and runs on the same Intel Core Ultra 9 Series 3 processor with a 50 TOPS NPU as the DUO.
Despite its slim frame, it packs a 77Wh battery rated for up to 27 hours of use — enough for a full workday and then some without hunting for an outlet. The Ceraluminum lid comes in Antrim Gray, and connectivity includes two Thunderbolt 4 ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, HDMI 2.1, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
The Zenbook S14 launches at PHP 129,995 with the same bundled software and warranty package as the DUO.
Zenbook A16 — the featherlight 16-inch
ASUS also unveiled the Zenbook A16, a 16-inch laptop that weighs just 1.2kg — making it one of the lightest laptops in its screen size class. It features a 16-inch 3K ASUS Lumina OLED display at 120Hz, built in a full-Ceraluminum chassis in Zabriskie Beige.
The A16 runs on a Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme processor with an 80 TOPS NPU, which ASUS claims delivers up to 69% faster performance and up to 110% faster AI processing compared to competing chips. Battery life is rated at up to 21 hours.
The Zenbook A16 has not yet received a Philippine price or release date and is listed as coming soon.
Where to buy
The Zenbook DUO and Zenbook S14 are available now at ASUS Stores nationwide, each bundled with an exclusive ASUS laptop sleeve alongside the software and warranty inclusions. More details at the official ASUS website and ASUS Philippines social media pages.
