The ASUS Vivobook 15X offers a lower midrange price point and is often significantly less expensive than the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 14, making it a more budget-friendly option. It has a larger 15.6-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080, which is suitable for general use and everyday tasks. The AMD Ryzen 5 7530U processor and integrated Vega 7 graphics provide decent performance for everyday computing and light gaming or engineering tasks. With 8GB of RAM, it's capable of handling multitasking, though heavier applications may benefit from more memory. The laptop is somewhat portable, but its size and weight are more suited for stationary use. Battery life is average, lasting around 8 hours of typical usage. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 14 comes at a midrange price and often costs significantly more than the ASUS. It features a premium 14-inch OLED display with a higher resolution of 2880 x 1800 and touchscreen capabilities, offering vibrant colors and deep blacks, which is excellent for media consumption and creative work. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite X1E80 processor and Adreno 750 graphics are designed for efficient performance, suitable for general use and light to moderate creative tasks. With 16GB of RAM, it's well-equipped for multitasking and more demanding software. The Samsung is more portable, with a thinner and lighter design, and offers a longer battery life of up to 10 hours, making it ideal for on-the-go use. Additionally, it has a 2-in-1 convertible design, allowing it to function as both a laptop and a tablet. In summary, if you prioritize portability, battery life, a high-quality display, and have more demanding performance needs, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 14 is the better choice, despite its higher cost. However, if you're looking for a more affordable laptop for everyday tasks and are okay with less portability and a shorter battery life, the ASUS Vivobook 15X is a solid option. Give Feedback

"All in all, my day on the Vivobook had its ups and downs. It is a really pretty and well-built device, and it had all of the functionality I needed to get me through my browser-based workload. But the speakers weren’t my favorite, and the battery life was just too short."
