Considering your needs will guide you to the right laptop. The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 is more affordable with excellent screen quality, moderate performance, and better portability due to its smaller and lighter design, making it suitable for general use. In contrast, the ASUS Zenbook Pro 17 costs more but delivers higher performance suitable for 3D rendering, machine learning, and engineering tasks, thanks to its more powerful processor and graphics card. It also has a larger screen, more storage, and memory. However, it's heavier and less portable, which could be a drawback if you move around often. Both have good battery life, but the Zenbook lasts slightly longer. Give Feedback

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 17 is very good for general use, while the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 is good.
The ASUS Zenbook Pro 17 offers a superior experience for general use due to its more powerful AMD Ryzen processor, higher amount of RAM, and larger, higher quality IPS display, which are very important factors for performance and visual clarity, and it has a bigger storage capacity which is also beneficial; however, this comes at the cost of decreased portability and a slight reduction in battery life compared to the lighter ASUS Vivobook Pro 14, making it less ideal for on-the-go usage. Additionally, the Vivobook Pro 14 has a higher screen pixel density and wider color coverage, which could appeal to users who prioritize display quality over size and resolution for general use.

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 17 and ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 are both only fair for gaming and AI, though the ASUS Zenbook Pro 17 is somewhat better.
The ASUS Zenbook Pro 17 offers better gaming and 3D performance with its Nvidia RTX 3050 GPU, which is more powerful than the integrated Intel Iris Xe GPU in the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14, and while both have high-quality screens, the Vivobook's higher screen refresh rate is trumped by the Zenbook's superior dedicated graphics card, a critical component for gaming and 3D tasks.

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 17 is very good for engineering and design, while the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 is good.
The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 offers a high-resolution OLED screen ideal for precise engineering tasks and design work, while its Intel CPU and integrated graphics provide reliable performance but less so for very demanding applications. In comparison, the ASUS Zenbook Pro 17 packs a more powerful AMD CPU and a dedicated Nvidia GPU, which provide excellent performance for more intensive engineering software and design tasks, though it has a lower screen resolution, it makes up with a larger screen and higher RAM, but is heavier and potentially less convenient for frequent travel.

The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 has a better screen than the ASUS Zenbook Pro 17 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design, while the ASUS Zenbook Pro 17 has a better screen for content creation, and software development.
When considering the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 for general use, its strong panel type, high resolution, and brightness make for a clear, sharp display that enhances everyday tasks like browsing and video streaming. For engineering and design, this laptop’s wide color gamuts ensure that designers see accurate colors, crucial for detail-oriented work; however, the Vivobook might not be the best choice for gaming and 3D applications due to its lackluster refresh rate, meaning less fluid motion and responsiveness. On the other hand, the ASUS Zenbook Pro 17, while offering a satisfactory display for general tasks and adequate color representation for professional design work, similarly falls short for gaming and fast-paced 3D environments where a high refresh rate is key for smooth visual performance.

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."
