[Redaktion]

Asus released five new laptops in the US on April 7. Now, the company has revealed higher pricing for all models, including the Zenbook 14. As a result, the larger Zenbook S16 is cheaper than its 14-inch counterpart. The Zenbook A14 and Zenbook A16 have received significant price increases, too.

That is incorrect, in Europe Asus has increased the prices with 70% from 1200 to 2000 euro for the basic model A14

The Zenbook duo went from 1700 euro to 3300 euro.

Those prices are crazy because these laptops are medior laptops they are not top models , because they only have 32gb ram , no dedicated graphic cards , and only 1tb ssd.

For 2000 euro you can have much much better laptops. I think you better wait 6 months that prices go down (black Friday).
Because now it's just a scam.

Dell and HP euro increased prices but not by 70%

I bought the Asus A14 last year and diary from battery life is not such a good laptop.
Many compatibility issues.
For ai lmstudio still can't detect the GPU or npu... Because prism can't solve fiber problems.
And using VPN software is also a problem because the tap driver that VPN software requires does not exist for arm64
When the VPN uses prism convertor my battery life goes from 15h to 8hours.
And the battery life went down from 100% to 80% in 11 months... According to Asus this is normal to loose 20% per year the first two years... It's acceptable they say, and the warranty was only 6 months on the battery even with the extended warranty that I purchased. They would only have replaced it if I lost 30%

The weird thing is that the battery health indicator in my Asus has been altered to lie (hide the defect). If you use the windows tool "powercfg /batteryreport" you will see the real degradation.
It's weird that there are no lawsuits yet for these battery problems and trying to conceal them in their software...
