If top-notch portability and a higher resolution touchscreen display are priorities, and you’re fine with a higher price, the ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 would suit you with its lighter weight and longer battery life. However, if you're looking for a cost-effective option that still offers a high-quality display and solid performance for daily tasks and light engineering work, consider the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14, noting that it’s heavier and has a slightly shorter battery life. Keep in mind that neither are built for intensive gaming, but both can handle general use, lighter 3D tasks, and some engineering software. Give Feedback

Marc Herter | July 2022
"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."

"The Asus Zenbook S 13 Flip is an ultra-sleek 2-in-1 convertible. A gorgeous OLED screen and lightweight magnesium chassis make this convertible a traveller’s dream. Its SSD isn’t fast, but it won’t hold you back in everyday use. Its battery life also isn’t class leading, but it’s hardly off the pace. Overall, the Zenbook S 13 Flip OLED holds its head high in the premium convertible category and is a smaller alternative to the Spectre x360 13.5 and the Yoga 9i Gen 7."
