Asus has put its 2026 premium laptop lineup on sale in India, headlined by a dual-screen ROG Zephyrus Duo that starts at Rs 5,49,990 and reaches Rs 6,99,990 in its top configuration. The launch covers five machines in total: the Zephyrus Duo, Zephyrus G14, Zephyrus G16, ProArt PZ14 and TUF Gaming A14, available through Asus e-shop, Flipkart, Amazon, ROG Stores, Asus Exclusive Stores and authorised retail partners. Pre-order buyers can add bundled benefits worth up to Rs 27,299 for Rs 999, including a two-year warranty extension and three years of accidental damage protection.

The ROG Zephyrus Duo and Its Dual 16-inch OLED Screens

The Zephyrus Duo is built around two 16-inch OLED touchscreens that lift apart on a 320-degree hinge, the dual-display layout that has defined the line. Asus’s India launch pairs the flagship GX651AX-SR099WS with an Intel Core Ultra 9 386H and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU carrying 24GB of GDDR7 memory. The same SKU ships with 64GB of LPDDR5X RAM, 2TB of SSD storage, a 90Wh battery and a 250W charger.

Both panels run at 3K resolution and 120Hz with full DCI-P3 colour coverage, the second screen designed to sit just above the keyboard for chat, stream tools, or a reference window while a game or render runs on the main display. ROG Intelligent Cooling with a tri-fan thermal design handles the heat underneath.

Pricing opens at Rs 5,49,990 for the entry build and reaches Rs 6,99,990 for the RTX 5090 configuration. The two SKUs share the same chassis and screen, with the GPU and memory as the only meaningful variables. For the full configuration, see the Duo full product page.

The Zephyrus G14 and G16 Take the Mid-Range Slot

The refreshed Zephyrus G14 and G16 keep last year’s 1.5kg and 1.85kg chassis figures and run on Intel’s Core Ultra 9 386H or AMD’s Ryzen AI 9 465H, depending on the SKU. The G14 tops out at an RTX 5080 Laptop GPU and the G16 at an RTX 5090. The 2026 variants are listed on the Asus India Zephyrus lineup page.

ROG’s G14 and G16 announcement lays out the variants side by side. The Intel G14 (GU405) pairs the Core Ultra 9 386H with up to 64GB of LPDDR5X-8533 memory and up to 2TB of PCIe Gen4 storage, while the AMD G14 (GA403) uses the Ryzen AI 9 465H with 32GB of LPDDR5X-7500 and a 2TB drive. The Intel G16 carries up to 64GB of LPDDR5X-8533 and up to 4TB of PCIe Gen5 across two M.2 slots, with one slot on Gen5 and the other on Gen4. The full breakdown sits in the G14 and G16 launch article on ROG.

The displays have moved to OLED across the line, with VESA DisplayHDR True Black 1000 certification and 1,000-nit peak brightness on the panels ROG has branded Nebula HDR. The 14-inch G14 ships in 3K at 120Hz, the 16-inch G16 in 2.5K at 240Hz, and both are factory-calibrated to an average Delta E of under 1 in HDR. The Slash Lighting array on the lid has grown from 7 to 35 individually addressable zones, with battery and notification animations.

India pricing starts at Rs 2,59,990 for the G14 with an RTX 5060, climbs to Rs 3,69,990 for the RTX 5070 variant, and runs Rs 4,19,990 to Rs 5,09,990 across three G16 configurations that step from an RTX 5070 Ti to an RTX 5080.

ProArt PZ14 Leans on Snapdragon and an 80 TOPS NPU

Asus’s creator tablet, the ProArt PZ14, is the odd one out in this lineup: it runs on Qualcomm’s 18-core Snapdragon X2 Elite rather than Intel or AMD, and it weighs 0.79kg in a 9mm CNC-machined aluminium chassis. The 14-inch Lumina Pro OLED touchscreen runs at 3K (2880×1800) and 144Hz with a 1,000-nit HDR peak, full DCI-P3 and Delta E under 1. The detachable Bluetooth keyboard and bundled ASUS Pen 3.0 are included, and the chassis carries an IP52 rating alongside MIL-STD-810H durability certification.

The integrated Hexagon NPU delivers up to 80 TOPS of on-device AI performance, feeding Asus’s own StoryCube, MuseTree and ProArt Creator Hub apps. Asus has paired the chip with up to 32GB of LPDDR5X memory, up to 1TB of PCIe 4.0 storage and a 75Wh battery charged over a 68W adapter, with two USB4 ports, an SD Express 7.0 card reader and WiFi 7 handling connectivity. India pricing is Rs 2,69,990. The full spec sheet sits in the full ProArt PZ14 press release.

TUF Gaming A14 Closes the Lineup at Rs 1,99,990

The TUF Gaming A14 is the entry point in Asus’s 2026 India roster, priced at Rs 1,99,990 and aimed at buyers who want portable gaming without the Zephyrus premium. The 14-inch chassis weighs 1.48kg and pairs an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 392 processor with integrated AMD Radeon 8060S Graphics, dropping the discrete-GPU tier in favour of a unified-memory APU design.

The Max+ 392 brings 12 Zen 5 CPU cores, 40 compute units of RDNA 3.5 graphics and a 50 TOPS XDNA 2 NPU for on-device AI workloads. Memory runs through LPDDR5X at 8000MT/s, with up to 32GB reallocatable between system RAM and VRAM. The chassis meets MIL-STD-810H durability standards and supports a 95W TDP in Manual Mode for sustained gaming loads.

The A14 lands as a counterweight to the Zephyrus models, giving buyers a sub-Rs 2,00,000 entry into Asus’s 2026 laptop lineup. Pre-orders run on the same retail channels listed for the rest of the lineup, with the same Rs 27,299 benefits bundle available to early buyers.

Asus has rolled out what is its broadest 2026 laptop lineup in India, with five machines covering a Rs 5 lakh spread between the cheapest TUF A14 and the top-end Zephyrus Duo.
