The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 has a better screen than the Framework Laptop 13 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design, while the Framework Laptop 13 has a better screen for content creation, and software development.
The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14, with a well-calibrated display boasting higher resolution, excels in clarity and detail for both general use and engineering tasks that require precise color representation.

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."

"If you’re thinking of investing in your first Framework, now is the time. The kinks and rough edges have all been smoothed out and this is a very nice machine with a bright, upgradable future. The only reason I can think of to wait is the AMD model, which I’ll be sure to test as soon as I can get my hands on one."
