Asus has added a new high memory configuration to its Vivobook 14 2026 lineup on its official JD storefront. Running on the third generation Intel Core Ultra 5 325 processor built with 18A silicon, the laptop pairs 24GB of RAM with 512GB of solid state storage. The new variant carries a starting price of 6,499 yuan (approx. $968 USD) for the domestic market.
Under the hood, the system runs on an 8 core and 8 thread layout split evenly between 4 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores. Boost clocks climb up to 4.5GHz with 12MB of L3 cache, backed by integrated Xe3 graphics. Local artificial intelligence tasks are handled by a built in NPU delivering 47 TOPS of computational performance. Thermal management relies on Asus IceCool hardware capable of sustaining a 40W power release. Users can swap between quiet, standard, and performance modes instantly with the Fn plus F shortcut.
The visual setup is built around a 14 inch 2.5K IPS panel at 2560x1600 resolution. The screen is sharp. It features a variable refresh rate running from 30 to 144Hz, 400 nits of peak brightness, and full 100% sRGB color reproduction. It also carries certifications for low blue light output and flicker free operation, alongside a dedicated monochrome reading mode for documents. The entire package fits into an all metal sandblasted chassis that measures 15.9 millimeters thick and weighs roughly 1.25 kilograms. It opens flat to 180 degrees and complies with standard MIL STD 810H durability testing.
Power comes from a 70Wh battery rated for up to 22.9 hours of continuous video playback or 20.1 hours of simulated office workloads. Charging flexibility is a major strength here. The system accepts wide voltage USB C power from 5 to 20V, allowing you to recharge using common phone chargers or portable battery banks. Physical connectivity includes 2 USB A 3.2 ports, an HDMI 2.1 TMDS port, 1 full function USB C 3.2 port, 1 full speed Thunderbolt 4 port, and a standard 3.5mm audio jack. This setup lets you run external monitors and storage drives without a hub.
