The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 has a better screen than the MSI Prestige 15 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design, while the MSI Prestige 15 has a better screen for software development.
When considering a laptop for general use, the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14's display offers superior resolution and brightness, making it a pleasure for everyday tasks and media consumption. For those involved in engineering and design, its ability to reproduce a wider range of colors makes it a strong choice, as accurate color representation is crucial in those fields. However, for gaming and 3D applications, the Vivobook's lower refresh rate compared to gaming-optimized laptops would result in less fluid motion, a disadvantage for fast-paced interactive environments.

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 MSI Prestige 15 offers a dazzling 4K image quality, and solid performance. The MSI Prestige 15 appears to consistently implement the guiding principle of throttling the solid and efficient hardware to such an extent that content creation succeeds perfectly. Performance-hungry tasks, on the other hand, are slowed down a little by the reduced power consumption. Conversely, this means that the case remains relatively cool and the dual fan subdued. The battery life also benefits somewhat. So the losses aren't really dramatic because full performance is still available for short bursts."
