Sixteen-inch OLED, weighing 1.1 kg. ASUS Zenbook A16 discounted by 12 thousand

Sixteen-inch laptops usually weigh around two kilograms – this one weighs 1.1 kg, which is less than most fourteen-inch models. The ASUS Zenbook A16 now costs 18 490 Kč with code ALZADNY40 instead of 30 816 Kč and offers a large OLED display in a body you’ll barely feel in your backpack.

👍 Get it if you want a large screen for work but don’t want to carry a heavy laptop, and you appreciate long battery life.
🤔 Hesitate if you need specific software or play games – it runs on ARM architecture and is the basic version of Snapdragon X.
💰 Price: 18 490 Kč for a 16″ OLED weighing 1.1 kg; add a 45–68 W adapter if you don’t have a more powerful USB-C charger.

Big display without the big weight

This is the main reason why the Zenbook A16 is worth noting. Until now, it was true that whoever wanted a sixteen-inch screen had to settle for a heavy machine – ASUS circumvented this thanks to its all-metal unibody design, which is only 16.5 mm thin. The display is a 16″ OLED with a 16:10 aspect ratio and 95% DCI-P3 coverage, giving you more vertical space for documents and ensuring accurate colors. The TÜV Low Blue Light certification protects your eyes during long work sessions.

Inside, an octa-core Snapdragon X works with 16 GB of LPDDR5x memory and a 512GB SSD. Thanks to the power-efficient ARM architecture and a 70 Wh battery, expect battery life for a full workday and more, with the laptop barely heating up and remaining quiet. The NPU with 45 TOPS performance meets the requirements for Copilot+ Windows features. The connectivity is generous for such a thin machine: two Thunderbolt 4 ports, USB 3.2, HDMI, and a memory card reader, plus Wi-Fi 6E, a Full HD webcam with Windows Hello, and a backlit Czech keyboard.

What to expect

This configuration uses the entry-level version of Snapdragon X (X1-26-100) with a frequency of 2.97 GHz – it’s more than enough for office work, browsing, video calls, and streaming, but not for demanding editing or gaming. And as with all laptops with ARM chips, it’s true that most common software runs natively, but specialized or older programs are better to verify before purchase.

Would you take a sixteen-inch laptop with you on the go if it only weighed a kilogram?
