The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 offers a high-resolution OLED display, which is great for vibrant colors and contrast, making it suitable for creative work. It's more portable and has a slightly better battery life. The ASUS Vivobook S 15, however, offers more storage, higher RAM, and a stronger main processor, which is better for intensive tasks like engineering, 3D rendering, and machine learning. The Vivobook S 15 is less portable due to its larger screen and slightly heavier weight. Bear in mind that the Vivobook Pro 14 generally costs a bit less but you're sacrificing processing power and storage space. Give Feedback

The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 has a better screen than the ASUS Vivobook S 15 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design, while the ASUS Vivobook S 15 has a better screen for content creation, and software development.
The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 offers a high resolution and bright display that makes it suitable for general use and engineering tasks where clarity and color accuracy are key, while its lower refresh rate might not be ideal for gaming and 3D applications that require smoother visuals. Conversely, the ASUS Vivobook S 15, while providing adequate screen quality for both general and engineering use with fair resolution and reasonable brightness, may not deliver the sharpness and color fidelity expected by professionals, and similarly, its screen falls short for gaming and 3D due to a less impressive refresh rate. For users engaging in engineering and design, the Pro 14's better coverage of color gamuts ensures more accurate color representation, which is less of a priority for the S 15, aligning it more with everyday tasks.

"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."

"Internals make Asus VivoBook S15 laptop a compelling option. The Asus multimedia laptop may look rather below-average with its modest black chassis, lack of a dedicated GPU, limited RAM and meagre port selection without Thunderbolt support. But your impression of the device will start changing once you set your eyes on its high-contrast OLED capable of producing deep blacks and highly accurate colours. And your opinion will change completely when the VivoBook is switched on. The AMD CPU can effortlessly keep up with powerful rivals from Intel. The integrated Radeon graphics blows away Intel's iGPU when it comes to graphics workloads such as rendering and simpler games."
