For a balance of performance and portability with a focus on engineering tasks, the ASUS Vivobook 16X is a solid choice with its more powerful processor and dedicated Nvidia GPU, though it's heavier and has a lower PPI screen, which might affect visual tasks. The Vivobook S 16 OLED, on the other hand, offers a superior OLED display with higher resolution and better color coverage, making it ideal for general use and entertainment, but it may fall short for intensive engineering or gaming activities due to its less powerful Intel Arc GPU. Consider the Vivobook 16X for its performance edge and the Vivobook S 16 OLED for its superior display and slightly more compact design. Give Feedback

Tech Critter

Kok Kee | February 2023
"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."
