Asus Zenbook A14 vs Apple MacBook Air 13 (M4): close, but no cigar
Apr 30, 2025
I recently gave the Apple MacBook Air 13 (M4) a rare perfect 5-star rating and called it the best 13-inch laptop you can buy today. And I stand by that review, because the MacBook Air 13 really is as close to perfect as you’ll find in a small laptop.
But the Asus Zenbook A14 also impressed me, with its really light weight that avoids feeling flimsy, and its combination of a beautiful OLED display and excellent battery life. Is it good enough to dethrone the MacBook Air 13?
