The ASUS Vivobook S 14 OLED offers a vibrant OLED display with a resolution that's sufficient for most tasks, and it's priced more affordably, making it a solid choice for general use and multimedia consumption. Its performance is good for everyday tasks and it has a number pad, which is handy for data entry. However, its gaming and engineering capabilities are limited due to its GPU, and it has fewer USB-C ports. On the other hand, the ASUS Zenbook Flip S13, while more expensive, provides a high-resolution 4K touchscreen display with excellent color coverage, suitable for more detailed visual work. It's also a 2-in-1 convertible, offering versatility for those who need both laptop and tablet functionality. It has a more powerful processor and integrated graphics, which will serve better for light gaming and machine learning tasks. It's more portable, has a better webcam score, and includes more RAM and storage out of the box. However, its battery life is shorter and it lacks a dedicated GPU, which means it won't perform as well in intensive gaming or specialized engineering tasks compared to laptops with dedicated graphics cards. If you prioritize portability, versatility, and a superior display for visual tasks, and you're willing to pay a premium for it, the Zenbook Flip S13 is the way to go. But if you're looking for a more cost-effective option with a stunning OLED screen for general use and entertainment, the Vivobook S 14 OLED is a great choice. Give Feedback

Charles Jefferies | January 2023
"The Asus Zenbook S 13 Flip is an ultra-sleek 2-in-1 convertible. A gorgeous OLED screen and lightweight magnesium chassis make this convertible a traveller’s dream. Its SSD isn’t fast, but it won’t hold you back in everyday use. Its battery life also isn’t class leading, but it’s hardly off the pace. Overall, the Zenbook S 13 Flip OLED holds its head high in the premium convertible category and is a smaller alternative to the Spectre x360 13.5 and the Yoga 9i Gen 7."
