The rivals, side by side

HP Chromebook Plus 14in
A fraction of the price and lighter to carry, but it runs ChromeOS only and cannot handle pro video or coding workloads

ASUS Zenbook A14 14in
A light Copilot+ laptop with a sharp OLED screen, but far less power, memory and storage for professional work

Who should buy it: Buy it if you do professional video, code or design work and want Apple's fastest laptop chip with a big, bright screen.

Who should skip it: Skip it if your work is documents, browsing and video calls — a much cheaper laptop does that just as well.
