The ASUS Vivobook 16X has a more powerful processor and graphics card, making it better for demanding tasks such as gaming and engineering work.

The Vivobook Pro 14 is also less expensive but comes with less storage and a less capable processor and internal graphics, which limit its performance for intensive tasks. Give Feedback

The ASUS Vivobook 16X has a better screen than the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 for software development, and content creation, while the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 has a better screen for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
The ASUS Vivobook 16X offers larger screen real estate that benefits engineering and design tasks where detail and workspace are crucial, but its modest refresh rate limits its appeal for gaming and 3D applications that rely on smooth motion. The Vivobook Pro 14, while having a smaller display, boasts superior color accuracy and range, making it preferable for color-sensitive work in design, but like the 16X, falls short in gaming due to a refresh rate that doesn't cater to fast-paced visuals. For general use, both screens provide clear and bright imagery, but the Pro 14 edges out with better resolution for sharper images and a panel that shows more accurate colors.

"I think the ASUS Vivobook 16X is fantastic. Great performance, decent battery life, good keyboard and trackpad, and a massive screen – just that the screen quality itself is kinda subpar. If you’re okay with the screen, then I think this is an okay laptop. However, I’d like to see a price drop."

"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."
