The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 offers a balance of performance and portability at a lower midrange price, making it suitable for general use and light engineering tasks with its Intel i5 processor and OLED screen. It's not designed for intensive gaming or high-end engineering work but provides a good display and battery life for everyday tasks. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 16, while pricier, delivers a larger OLED touchscreen with higher refresh rate and better color coverage, catering to users who prioritize screen quality for tasks like content creation or entertainment. Its Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and ample RAM make it adept at handling multitasking and light gaming, though it may not match the performance of dedicated gaming laptops. It's also more portable due to its slim design and offers the versatility of a 2-in-1 form factor. If you value a high-quality display and the flexibility of a convertible laptop for general use and light gaming, and you're willing to pay a premium for these features, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 16 is the way to go. However, if you're looking for a more cost-effective solution that still offers a good balance of performance and battery life in a compact size, the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 is a solid choice.

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."
