If you prioritize gaming or intensive engineering software, the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 has a strong graphics processor and superior performance for such tasks, but it's heavier and has a shorter battery life. The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 is more portable, offers longer battery usage for general tasks, and comes with a high-resolution OLED screen which is great for vivid colors and sharp visuals, though it's less suitable for demanding games or engineering applications due to its less powerful processor and onboard graphics. Keep in mind the TUF Gaming F15 will cost more but may suit your performance needs better, while the Vivobook Pro 14 is more budget-friendly and could suffice for typical use and media consumption.

The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 is very good for engineering and design, while the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 is good.
The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 is considered very good for engineering and design because it has a high-performing CPU, ample RAM, an advanced GPU, and a high-quality screen, which are critical for demanding tasks like 3D modeling, simulations, and rendering. In contrast, the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14, while still good, offers a mid-range CPU and GPU, making it less powerful but more portable and quieter, suiting those who prioritize a balance between performance and convenience.

The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 has a better screen than the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 for content creation, while the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 has a better screen for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
When considering general use like browsing or watching videos, the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 provides sharper images and brighter displays due to its higher resolution and panel quality, which outperforms the TUF Gaming F15. For engineering and design tasks, professionals often require accurate color representation, and the Vivobook Pro 14 offers a wider color gamut coverage, essential for these tasks, unlike the TUF Gaming F15. However, gamers and 3D designers would find the TUF Gaming F15's lower refresh rate less smooth for fast-paced visuals, while the Vivobook, despite having similar limitations, does not compromise here as it's not primarily targeted at this audience.

How the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 and the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 compare to other laptops
"Aside from all the chassis updates, the new TUF Gaming is most notable for its much higher TGP target of 140 W compared to only 95 W on the previous generation. PC makers everywhere are using the same GeForce GPUs this year since Nvidia has yet to launch the successor to the mobile RTX 3000 series. The more demanding processors of the new TUF Gaming has directly impacted battery life and the size of the AC adapter. Don't expect runtimes to be longer than on the previous generation under most conditions and be prepared to carry around an even larger AC adapter than before."
"The Asus Vivobook Pro 14 OLED is a Pantone Validated laptop that packs a lot of processing power. The Asus VivoBook Pro 14 OLED's highlight is its outstanding display: Featuring a 3K resolution in the 16:10 format and nearly a 100% coverage of the Display P3 color space, the display hardly leaves anything to be desired. The Asus laptop also shows impeccable rates in terms of general system performance. Combined with long battery life, low noise emissions, and relatively good speakers, the laptop can be recommended to users who can accept compromises in terms of connectivity."
