ASUS Zenbook 14 UX3480 Philippines: Price, Specs, and New Colors

The ASUS Zenbook 14 UX3480 Philippines launch is official, with prices starting at ₱76,995 for the Snapdragon model and topping out at ₱129,995 for the Intel Core Ultra 9 version. ASUS Philippines unveiled the new lineup on October 7, 2026, and units are already on shelves at ASUS Exclusive Stores nationwide.

The headline here is choice. You get three processor platforms (Intel, AMD, and Snapdragon), all certified as Copilot+ PCs, all wrapped in a 1.1kg body with a Ceraluminum lid. ASUS also added three new colorways: Arctic Blue, Komodo Coral, and Zabriskie Beige. Every model ships with a 14-inch WUXGA OLED panel, 16GB or 24GB of LPDDR5X memory, and a 512GB SSD.

For Filipino students, freelancers, and office workers who carry a laptop between jeepney rides, coffee shops, and meeting rooms, the Zenbook 14 UX3480 pitches itself as the thin-and-light that does not punish your shoulders or your battery anxiety.

Ceraluminum and the New Colors: Built to Age Well

ASUS frames this Zenbook around one idea, voiced at the launch by Rachelle Lozares, Consumer Notebook Product Marketing Lead at ASUS Philippines: “The goal isn’t perfection. The goal is to help the laptop age better over time.”

That philosophy lives in the Ceraluminum lid. It is an ASUS-exclusive material with a ceramic-like feel, and ASUS claims it resists scratches, smudges, and everyday wear. If you have owned a laptop that looked tired after six months inside a backpack, you know why this matters. A lid that keeps its finish means a laptop that still looks presentable in year three, and one that holds resale value better on Facebook Marketplace.

The colors carry nature-inspired names. Arctic Blue covers the Intel and AMD models. Komodo Coral, a warm pinkish-orange, is exclusive to the Snapdragon version at launch. Zabriskie Beige, also Snapdragon, arrives later in Q4 2026. If you want a Zenbook 14 Komodo Coral or Zabriskie Beige unit, you are buying Snapdragon. No Intel or AMD model comes in those shades for now.

At 1.1kg, this is a laptop you can carry all day across EDSA commutes, campus hallways, and Makati coworking spaces without feeling it by lunch.

Zenbook 14 Intel vs AMD vs Snapdragon: Which One Fits You?

Every Zenbook 14 UX3480 is a Copilot+ PC, so all three get Windows AI features like intelligent search and AI-assisted productivity. The differences come down to raw power, app compatibility, and price.

Intel (UX3480AA), ₱106,995 to ₱129,995. The top model runs the Intel Core Ultra 9 386H with 24GB of RAM, the most memory in the lineup. Both Intel units get the touchscreen OLED, which no other configuration has. Pick Intel if you edit photos and video, run heavier creative apps, or want the widest software compatibility with zero guesswork.

AMD (UX3480KA), ₱86,995 to ₱94,995. The Ryzen AI 7 345 carries a 50 TOPS NPU, matching Intel’s AI headline number for less money. The Ryzen AI 5 330 at ₱86,995 is the entry point for buyers who want full x86 compatibility without paying Intel prices. For most office workers and students, this is the value pick.

Snapdragon (UX3480QA), ₱76,995. The cheapest way into the Zenbook 14 and the only route to the new colors. The Snapdragon X X1 26 100 runs on Arm, which usually means strong battery life and cool, quiet operation. The catch: some older Windows programs, niche printer drivers, and certain games may not run or may run through emulation. Check your must-have apps before buying.

ASUS also upgraded the cooling across the board. A larger fan, refined airflow, and added dust protection support up to 35W TDP, a 25% jump over the last Zenbook 14. In practice, that should mean less throttling during long work sessions in a humid Manila afternoon.

Display, Audio, and Ports: No Dongle Drama

The 14-inch WUXGA OLED panel uses a 16:10 aspect ratio, giving you more vertical space for documents, spreadsheets, and web pages than a standard 16:9 screen. The screen-to-body ratio reaches up to 89%, so the bezels stay slim.

Dual speakers with Dolby Atmos handle Netflix and Zoom calls, while a larger smart-gesture touchpad and backlit keyboard round out the input side.

The port selection deserves credit. Every Zenbook 14 UX3480 includes USB-C, USB Type-A, HDMI, and an audio combo jack. That means you can plug into a classroom projector, a USB flash drive, or a wired headset without hunting for an adapter. Thin laptops love to cut ports. This one kept them.

Bundle and ASUS ZenMouse MD202 Price Philippines

Every unit ships with a generous bundle:

• ASUS No. 1 Quality and Service Package
• ASUS laptop sleeve
• Lifetime license of Office 2024 Home
• 1-year Microsoft 365 Basic with 100GB cloud storage
• Up to 700GB ASUS Cloud Storage
• 3 months of Google AI Pro

The lifetime Office license alone saves you a few thousand pesos compared to buying it separately.

ASUS also launched the ZenMouse MD202, a wireless mouse with its own Ceraluminum top cover designed to match the Zenbook. It comes in Moher Gray and Scandinavian White, supports Bluetooth and 2.4GHz, pairs with up to four devices, and uses a Track-on-Glass sensor. Battery life reaches up to seven months, and one minute of USB-C charging gives up to 16 hours of use. DPI adjusts from 800 to 4200 via the MyASUS app. The ASUS ZenMouse MD202 price in the Philippines is ₱4,995, available from mid-October exclusively at ASUS Exclusive Stores.

Where to Buy Zenbook 14 Philippines

The ASUS Zenbook 14 UX3480 is available starting October 7, 2026 at official ASUS Exclusive Stores nationwide. The Intel and AMD models come in Arctic Blue, and the Snapdragon model comes in Komodo Coral. The Zabriskie Beige Snapdragon unit follows later this Q4 2026.

For online stock and price checks, look for the ASUS official stores on Shopee and Lazada. Note that the prices above are introductory SRPs, and resellers may set their own pricing.

TechPatrol Verdict

The ASUS Zenbook 14 UX3480 does not reinvent the thin-and-light laptop. It refines it, and that is the smarter move. The Ceraluminum lid addresses a real complaint about premium laptops looking worn after a year, the full I/O kills the dongle habit, and the three-platform lineup lets you pay for exactly the performance you need.

Our early pick for most Filipino buyers is the AMD Ryzen AI 5 330 model at ₱86,995: full app compatibility, solid AI performance, and a ₱20,000 saving over the cheapest Intel unit. Choose Snapdragon at ₱76,995 if battery life and the Komodo Coral color matter more than legacy software. Go Intel only if you need the touchscreen or the Core Ultra 9 muscle.
