The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 is a more budget-friendly option with good color accuracy and is very suitable for general use, making it a solid choice for everyday tasks. However, if you need a touchscreen, better battery life, and slightly stronger performance, especially for more demanding engineering applications or 3D work, the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED could be worth the additional cost. It also comes with Windows 11 pre-installed and more storage out of the box. Keep in mind, though, that the Zenbook is a bit heavier, which may impact portability if you plan to carry it frequently. Neither is ideal for intensive gaming, but both offer decent screens for creative work. Give Feedback

The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED and ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 are both good for general use.
The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 is suitable for general use due to its decent CPU and RAM, but with its screen quality and portability being less impressive compared to its counterpart; on the other hand, the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED stands out with a higher screen quality and improved portability along with a good CPU and RAM, making it a better option for general use that requires a balance of performance and ease of carrying around. While both laptops provide adequate performance for everyday tasks, the Vivobook's flaws in key areas make the Zenbook 14X OLED a more appealing choice, especially considering battery life, which is significant for users who need their device to last through a full day of work or classes without recharging.

"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."

"While one of the more budget-friendly configurations of the Asus Zenbook 14X OLED may make a compelling case as a top value pick, it’s difficult to be disappointed with the more expensive model we reviewed here. At its core, for all models, it’s a luxury-built laptop with extreme portability and a gorgeous OLED display. Our unit rocks with a snappy Core i9 processor for getting real work done, and the discrete GPU—even if it has a clear power ceiling—is a bonus for creative pros."
