Asus is giving its ProArt 2-in-1 lineup a notable performance boost by moving the ProArt PZ14 to Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon X2 platform. The upcoming ProArt PZ14 is powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite (X2E-88-100), a 3 nm chipset that delivers a major jump over the Snapdragon X Plus X1P-42-100 found in the ProArt PZ13. In benchmark testing, this upgrade translates to roughly 70% better performance, positioning the PZ14 as a far more capable option for creators who want a thin, versatile machine without sacrificing speed.
Battery life also gets attention this generation. Asus is pairing the new chip with a larger battery, increasing capacity by about 7% compared with the previous model. For users who spend long stretches editing, sketching, or working on the go, that extra headroom could make the ProArt PZ14 a more practical daily companion—especially in a 2-in-1 form factor designed for flexibility.
On the pricing side, Asus has already opened pre-orders in China. The ProArt PZ14 starts at CNY 12,999 (around $1,900) for a configuration with 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage, discounted from an original list price of CNY 13,999 (about $2,049). That early pricing suggests Asus is trying to make the new model more competitive despite the substantial platform upgrade.
International availability also appears to be close. Asus has confirmed Eurozone pricing for higher-memory versions, with a 32 GB RAM model set at €2,499 (about $2,929) in Spain and €2,699 (about $3,165) in Italy. The company has already listed the ProArt PZ14 in both markets, a strong sign that wider rollout is imminent and that the device should soon be available beyond China and Europe.
For anyone tracking the best new 2-in-1 laptops for creative work, the Asus ProArt PZ14 is shaping up to be a meaningful step forward—combining a next-generation Snapdragon X2 Elite processor, a modest but welcome battery increase, and confirmed pricing across multiple regions.
