[CES 2026] ASUS Announces New Laptops & Desktop PC Lineup In Consumer, Business And Creator Segments

Besides the new gaming arsenal introduced in CES 2026 (which you can learn more by clicking right here), ASUS has also brought a new range of laptops and desktop PCs for general consumer and business segments under Zenbook, Vivobook and Expert series, as well as creator-focused ProArt products; there’s also an assortment of products in other categories that we’ll cover in this article.

ZenBook Laptops

Starting off with the new Zenbook DUO (UX8407), this laptop features a dual-screen design with two 14-inch 3K (2880 x 1800) OLED displays with 48-144Hz variable refresh rate, touchscreen support, and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 1000 certification, connected using a new hideaway hinge design that reduce the gap between both panels (it’s also got an integrated kickstand to lift both screens up or sideways). Since it’s a dual-screen laptop, the keyboard and touchpad have to be a separate attachment, which ASUS says uses something called MagLatch docking system with retractable pogo pins for connection.

Inside the laptop you’ll find three processor options from Intel, all operating at 45W TDP: Core Ultra X9 388H, Core Ultra 9 386H, and Core Ultra 7 355H, coupled with up to 32GB of LPDDR5X-9600 RAM and 2TB of SSD storage; there’s also two batteries split in each halves to provide a combined 99Wh capacity, a smidge below the legal flight limit to provide as much battery life as possible to power two displays, which can be demanding. All of these are packed within a chassis tipping the scales at just 1.35kg (or 1.65kg with keyboard), and measures 14.5mm thick (19.6mm with keyboard).

Up next we have the Zenbook A series and Zenbook S series, with four models. ASUS officially welcomes a new model in Zenbook A16 (UX3607OA), which, just like the refreshed Zenbook A14 (UX3407NA), are powered by the new Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 Elite series chipset. The 16-inch will use the 18-core (12P+6E) Elite Extreme variant (X2E-94-100) with higher TDP (deduced from the advertised multi-core clock speeds since Qualcomm never declares TDP ratings for its chips) and 48GB LPDDR5X RAM, whereas the 14-inch will stick to the standard Elite variant (X2E-88-100), also featuring 18 CPU cores (12P+6E) and 32GB LPDDR5X RAM.

Rounding up the Zenbook lineup is the Zenbook S series, in which the 14-inch and 16-inch each have different processors powering them. The 14-inch UX5406AA variant will feature Intel Core Ultra 9 386H processor, while the 16-inch UM5606GA – this time matching the minimalist lid design from the 14-inch – will utilize AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 for processing duties. Despite similar names, the spec between the two does differ in some ways, including storage, battery capacity, display options, and speaker layout, to name a few.

Vivobook Laptops

The new Vivobook lineup is expansive, with 12 new and refresh models announced: Vivobook 14/16 Intel (X1407AA/X1607AA), Vivobook 14/16/18 AMD (M1407GA/M1607GA/M1807GA), Vivobook 14/16 Flip (TP3407AA/TP3607AA), Vivobook S14/S16 AMD (M3407GA/M3607GA), Vivobook S14/S16 Intel (S3407AA/S3607AA), and another Vivobook S16 (S3607NA) with the Snapdragon X2 series chip, being the only Qualcomm-based model among the announced lineup.

Under Vivobook 14 and 16, Intel models will get an unspecified Intel Core Ultra 7 (Series 3) processor, whereas AMD models are all powered by the Ryzen AI 7 445 processor instead. Between 14-inch and 16-inch chassis, there’s no differences beyond the size, meaning all four variants feature the same display type (FHD+ 60Hz IPS-level), memory and storage specs (up to 32GB / 1TB, both expandable), Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, 30% larger touchpad, plus the option of 42Wh or 70Wh battery.

Note that there’s the 18-inch version exclusively powered by AMD (with options up to Ryzen AI 9 465), and it also comes with a bigger FHD+ 144Hz IPS-level panel instead. It’s also exclusively powered by a 70Wh battery, but otherwise maintains same specs as the rest of the vanilla Vivobook lineup. One small tidbit we should mention, this 18-inch laptop is surprisingly heavy despite its ultrathin nature, tipping the scales at 2.6kg. (Just for reference, my 17-inch ROG Strix circa 2021 is just 0.1kg heavier than that, and this thing is as far from “ultrathin” as you can imagine.)

Moving on, we have the Vivobook Flip series, which is pretty straightforward: the two models are 14-inch and 16-inch variants, both powered by Intel Core Ultra 9 386H processor, up to 32GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB SSD. Display-wise, both are equipped with the same FHD+ 60Hz OLED touch panel, with the size being the sole difference between the two.

As for the Vivobook S series, there are five new models spread across two sizes and three processor vendors. The four models, two each from AMD and Intel in 14-inch and 16-inch versions, all share same specs outside of CPUs involved. Intel models will be powered by either Core Ultra 7 or Core Ultra 5 (Series 3) models, whereas AMD models are all powered by Ryzen AI 7 445 processor instead – all coupled with up to 32GB DDR5 RAM and 512GB/1TB storage. Display-wise, all use FHD+ 60Hz OLED panels with 95% DCI-P3 gamut and 300 nits brightness, plus other identical features like Wi-Fi 6, larger touchpad, and 70Wh battery.

The Snapdragon-powered Vivobook S16 is the outlier, which, besides the Snapdragon X2 Elite chipset with 18-core CPU, also gets a second, optional QHD+ 144Hz IPS display with higher brightness (400 nits), but trades off in color gamut (only 100% sRGB). Unlike the other four with a secondary slotted DDR5 RAM, this model’s up to 32GB of LPDDR5X memory is all soldered; it also gets Wi-Fi 7 support, and two USB4 (Thunderbolt-compatible) ports instead of regular USB 3.2 10Gbps ports.

ExpertBook Laptops & ExpertCenter PCs

For its commercial portfolio, ASUS introduces a new flagship laptop in the form of ExpertBook Ultra (B9406), which replaces the ExpertBook B9 series of old. Processor options include Core Ultra 7 356H with 4-core integrated graphics or Core Ultra X7 358H with 12-core Arc B390 integrated graphics, both features up to 50W TDP and coupled with 32GB or 64GB LPDDR5X RAM. Display got an update with a new 14-inch 3K (2880 x 1800) anti-glare OLED display with 600 nits brightness (1400 nits peak), HDR support, 100% DCI-P3 gamut, protected under Corning Gorilla Glass. It continues to be one of the lightest laptops in its class, at a claimed 990g.

Below the flagship comes the updated ExpertBook P and B series laptops, suffixed by ‘G2’ indicating second generation. The new ExpertBook P3 G2, available in 14-inch and 16-inch variants, will be powered by AMD Ryzen 7 260 or Ryzen 7 8840HS processor, while the ExpertBook P5 G2 is available in either AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 or Intel Core Ultra 7 (Series 3) flavors. As for the B series, the ExpertBook B3 G2 is also available in both Intel (up to Core Ultra 7 vPro 366H) and AMD (up to Ryzen AI 9 HX 470) variants, whereas the ExpertBook B5 G2 is Intel-only, again with up to Core Ultra vPro 366H as its CPU options.

As for the desktop systems, ASUS announced two ExpertCenter P700 systems: the Mini Tower (PM700MG), and the P700 SFF model with an 8.6-liter chassis. The former is powered by AMD Ryzen AI 7 445, while the latter is powered by an unspecified AMD Ryzen AI 300 series processor, which should mostly behave the same as the minimally-refreshed Ryzen AI 400 series counterparts. Rounding up this segment is the ExpertCenter PN55 mini-PC, with three processor options that include Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 at 45W TDP.

ASUS NUC 16 Pro (And ROG GR70)

A quick intermission to NUCs: ASUS also brought the new generation NUC 16 Pro mini-PC, which packs Intel’s best: you can get up to Intel Core Ultra X9 388H with Intel Arc B390 integrated graphics, paired with up to 96GB of LPDDR5X-9600 RAM and dual internal fans to keep the heat away for peak performance. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, and dual 2.5GbE LAN, and internally it supports two M.2 slots housed within a new Tool-less 2.0 design, all while occupying just 5 x 4 inches (127 x 102 mm) of space.

The company also briefly introduced the ROG GR70 gaming NUC, which shares most of its characteristics as the contemporary ROG NUC, sans the Intel-only “NUC” naming as it packs an AMD processor instead. You can learn more about this model through our coverage last year by clicking here.

ProArt Laptops, Components & Displays

In the creator segment, the star of the show is the ProArt PX13 GoPro Edition (HN7306EAC), along with its standard equivalent (HN7306EA). Both laptops add to the existing lineup with no chassis changes, except for a slightly different laptop lid (for the GoPro Edition) and new processing hardware. Regarding the latter, ASUS gave the ProArt PX13 a huge upgrade by combining a previously separated CPU and GPU design into a unified chip with AMD’s flagship laptop processor, the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 with Radeon 8060S graphics, paired with a massive 128GB of LPDDR5X RAM.

The GoPro Edition also gets a dedicated GoPro hotkey that launches GoPro Player app, along with GoPro Cloud integration into ASUS’s own StoryCube content ingest software; owners also get a complimentary 12-month GoPro Premium+ subscription which offers unlimited cloud storage. Owners will also get some extras on top of the convertible laptop itself, including custom protective sleeve package, and a custom pre-cut cushioning foam which can be used as a storage case.

ASUS also unveiled the a new model under PZ series called the ProArt PZ14 (HT7407). Like the PZ13, it is also powered by Snapdragon, in this case the Snapdragon X2 Elite X2E-88-100 chipset; the chip is paired with up to 32GB LPDDR5X memory and 1TB SSD storage. Its display is a 14-inch 3K OLED touch panel with 144Hz variable refresh rate, Delta-E <1, 1000 nits HDR peak brightness (VESA DisplayHDR True Black 1000 certified), 100% DCI-P3 gamut coverage, and stylus support. It’s also got a full-size SD Express 7.0 card reader, which is good news for camera-focused creatives.

On the components side, there’s two new products: the ProArt B850-Creator WiFi Neo motherboard, and a new ProArt GeForce RTX 5090 OC Edition graphics card. Based on the limited info listed on its website, it will have dual 5GbE LAN, Wi-Fi 7, two PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots plus one PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot for SSDs, with simultaneous PCIe 5.0 x16 support on the primary PCIe slot. The GPU is an interesting one: it adopts the same double flow-through cooling design a la NVIDIA’s Founders Edition cards, which means it’s also small enough – at just 2.5 slots thick – to comply with NVIDIA’s GeForce SFF standard.

Lastly under the ProArt lineup, we have new professional displays to look at. There are three new models: ProArt Display OLED PA279CDV, ProArt Display OLED PA32UCDMR-K, and ProArt Display OLED PA27UCDMR. The PA279CDV is a 26.5-inch 4K 120Hz QD-OLED creator monitor with 99% DCI-P3 coverage, 1000-nit peak brightness, true 10-bit color, Delta-E <2, and HDR10 support. As for the other two models, they also feature 4K QD-OLED displays, though at a faster 240Hz refresh rate and even more accurate colors with Delta-E <1. The 32-inch model also gets a monitor hood and ProArt CaliCotrO MCA02 three-in-one colorimeter for further color calibration.

ZenScreen Portable Monitors

The ZenScreen portable monitor lineup includes the 16-inch ZenScreen MQ16FC, MB16FC, MB16NCG, and the dual-panel ZenScreen Duo MB14FCD. All models feature USB-C and mini-HDMI connectivity, integrated kickstands for portrait or landscape use, as well as power passthrough for devices and laptops to charge through the monitor and display content using a single USB-C connection.

The ZenScreen MQ16FC is a 16-inch OLED monitor with FHD+ (1920 x 1200) resolution, delivering 95% DCI-P3 color coverage and Delta-E <2 color accuracy; it includes dual USB-C ports, mini-HDMI, auto-rotation support, laptop battery-saving features, and up to 65W power passthrough. Meanwhile, the MB16FC and MB16NCG both feature 16-inch IPS panels – the MB16FC offers the same FHD+ resolution, while the MB16NCG provides a sharper QHD+ (2560 x 1600) resolution and a 155Hz overclocked refresh rate.

As for the ZenScreen Duo MB14FCD, this dual 14-inch display comes with a pair of FHD+ (1920 x 1200) IPS panels connected by 360-degree hinges. It supports multiple operating modes including extended desktop, split vertical display, mirrored sharing, or connect to two separate devices; combined, the two panels create a continuous 20-inch-tall workspace for multitasking or reading, and capable of extending a laptop’s setup into a triple-display workstation.

ASUS V Series Desktops

ASUS also expanded its desktop offerings several models. The first one is the V400 AiO (VM441QA) powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon X processor (the first-gen model), featuring a 24-inch Full HD display with optional touchscreen support, as well as dual 3-watt speakers. Not much is said about this model, and there’s no product page set up for it at the time of this writing.

The rest of the announced lineup are all tower PCs under the V700 and V500 line, including VM701MG, V701ML, VM501MH, V501MV, and V501SV (SFF model). The flagship VM701MG is the only model to feature latest AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 processor, with optional NVIDIA RTX 5060 graphics; the remainder of this lineup consists of refreshed models in Ryzen 200 series and Intel Core 200 series.

Chromebooks

Finally, the Chromebook lineup includes three new laptops: Chromebook CM32 Detachable, Chromebook CM15, and Chromebook CM14. All three are powered by MediaTek Kompanio 540 chipset, paired with up to 8GB of LPDDR5X-6400 RAM, while storage is maxed out at 128GB eMMC. While the displays on the CM15/CM14 line are nothing special (both use FHD panels without even the full sRGB coverage), the CM32 at least gets a decent QHD+ 120Hz panel with 600 nits of brightness to boot.

Pokdepinion: So many models to go through.
