Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 to be good for engineering and design, while the HP Victus 15 is only fair.
The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 is well-suited for engineering and design due to its OLED screen with higher color accuracy and resolution which is beneficial for detailed graphics work, along with a capable CPU and integrated graphics that support less demanding tasks. In comparison, the HP Victus 15 is also recommended for these fields as it boasts a more powerful dedicated GPU for intensive design simulations and a larger screen, but it's heavier and has a lower color accuracy, important to consider if portability and screen quality are crucial to your work.

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 HP Victus 15 is great for gaming. It's available with Intel 12th Gen. CPUs and NVIDIA discrete graphics, which are powerful enough to provide a smooth gaming experience in demanding AAA titles at 1080p. It has a nice keyboard and a fast SSD, as well as Wi-Fi 6 and Ethernet connectivity for low-latency online gaming. Unfortunately, its 144Hz display has a slow response time causing noticeable ghosting, and it doesn't support variable refresh rate to reduce screen tearing."
