When choosing between the ASUS Vivobook 14 and the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14, consider your specific needs. The Vivobook Pro 14 has a higher-resolution OLED screen with a wider color range, better for creative tasks like photo and video editing. It also boasts a larger battery, potentially offering longer use between charges, and a higher build quality. Meanwhile, the Vivobook 14 is slightly more portable due to its lighter weight and has a budget-friendly price. If you prioritize a vibrant display and longer battery life for creative or entertainment purposes, the Vivobook Pro 14 may be worth the extra cost. However, for everyday use such as browsing or document work, and if budget is a concern, the Vivobook 14 will likely suffice. Give Feedback

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 to be good for general use, while the ASUS Vivobook 14 is only fair.
The ASUS Vivobook 14 offers decent CPU performance and moderate battery life for general use, alongside a good portability score; however, its screen quality is limited to an IPS panel with lower color coverage and brightness compared to the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14, which boasts a superior OLED display with higher resolutions and color accuracy, making it a better option for visual tasks, despite having a slightly heavier build and less battery life. Both models are equipped with the same RAM and storage, but the Pro model's higher quality display, keyboard, and speaker make it more suitable for multimedia use at the expense of shorter battery duration and less portability..

Marc Herter | July 2022
"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."
