Asus has announced a special event at CES 2025 in Las Vegas, where it plans to unveil a new ultra-thin laptop. Touted as the world's lightest Copilot+ PC, the device is also said to boast an impressive 32 hours of battery life.
Ultra-thin Design and Ambitious Battery Life
According to Asus, the new laptop will offer "a perfect blend of elegance and functionality" for professionals, creators, and everyday users. While specific design features and detailed specifications have not been released, the 32-hour battery life claim is certainly ambitious. Given this, speculation is that the laptop could be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon X platform.

Competition in the Lightweight Laptop Market
The new laptop will join the Zenbook series, which already includes models with Intel's Lunar Lake and AMD's Ryzen AI processors. However, it's crucial to remember that real-world battery life often differs from manufacturer claims. Competitors like LG's Gram series and Fujitsu's Lifebook UH-X series also excel in portability and light weight.
Launch Event at CES 2025
All final details, including specifications and pricing, will be revealed during Asus’ AIways Incredible launch event on January 7th, which will be streamed live.
