No-cost EMI starts at ₹7,611 per month for up to 18 months. Low-cost EMI starts at ₹6,471 per month for up to 24 months. The lower monthly instalment has a longer repayment period and should not be treated as the lower total cost.
The model code matters here because the display changes with the processor. UX3480AA is the Intel option, with up to a Core Ultra 9 386H and a 14-inch 2880 × 1800 OLED touchscreen. Its 120Hz refresh rate gives smoother scrolling, while ASUS quotes up to 1,100 nits HDR peak brightness. That peak figure does not describe full-screen brightness in every application.
The AMD UX3480KA uses a Ryzen AI 7 345 and a 1920 × 1200 OLED touchscreen at 60Hz. It supports a stylus, but the pen is not included. The Snapdragon UX3480QA has a Snapdragon X X1 26 100 processor and a 1920 × 1200, 60Hz OLED display without the touchscreen specification of the other two.
Both FHD+ panels are rated at up to 300 nits. All three displays have a 16:10 aspect ratio and 100% DCI-P3 colour coverage. Buyers who specifically want 3K resolution and 120Hz should choose the Intel model rather than assuming those features apply across the range.
Intel and AMD versions offer up to 50 TOPS of NPU performance, while the Snapdragon model offers up to 45 TOPS. The NPU runs supported AI tasks on the laptop. Its rating alone does not establish overall speed or performance in a particular app.
Arctic Blue, Komodo Coral and Zabriskie Beige are the colour options. The Ceraluminum finish uses ASUS’ ceramic-aluminium material, with a textured surface designed to resist everyday marks. ASUS also lists MIL-STD-810H testing. These durability features do not make the laptop immune to accidental damage.
The Snapdragon version weighs 1.10kg, compared with 1.30kg for the Intel and AMD models. Dimensions are listed at 31.11 × 21.58cm, with thickness ranging from 1.39cm to 1.69cm. That 200g difference may matter to someone carrying a laptop throughout the day.
Intel and AMD models have a 70Wh battery, while the lighter Snapdragon model uses a 50Wh battery. All three include a 68W USB-C charging adapter. ASUS claims up to 33 hours of battery life for the range and up to 50% charge in 30 minutes. Actual runtime depends on the model, screen brightness and workload; these are manufacturer claims, not our test results.
Every model includes USB-A, HDMI 2.1 TMDS, a 3.5mm audio jack and two USB-C connections. The Intel version has Thunderbolt 4 on one USB-C port. AMD gets USB4 on one port, while the Snapdragon version has two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C ports. USB-C display output and power delivery are supported.
A backlit keyboard with a Copilot key, a gesture-enabled touchpad and dual speakers with Dolby Atmos are included. The FHD infrared camera supports Windows Hello face sign-in. The 16GB onboard RAM specification is worth considering before purchase if your work regularly needs more memory.
The ZenMouse MD202 has a Ceraluminum top cover and supports Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless connectivity. It can pair with up to four devices, which suits a desk shared between a laptop and another computer. The sensor can track on glass, and DPI settings range from 800 to 4200 through MyASUS.
MyASUS also allows scroll-click shortcuts and battery monitoring. ASUS rates the switches for up to 50 million clicks and claims up to 16 hours of use from a one-minute USB-C charge. A low-battery indicator turns on below 20%. Those endurance figures remain manufacturer ratings rather than independently tested results.
The Intel model makes the clearest case for buyers who want the sharper, smoother display. AMD offers touch and stylus support at a lower price, while Snapdragon is the lightest and least expensive option. Check support for your essential Windows apps, peripherals and drivers before choosing the Arm-based Snapdragon version.
For office work, travel and regular video calls, the weight and screen differences are more useful buying guides than the AI label alone. Buyers who need more than 16GB of RAM, a gaming-focused machine or a lower-cost laptop should compare other options before spending over ₹1.36 lakh.
