The ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED offers a vibrant OLED display with a higher refresh rate, making it excellent for fast-motion content and everyday use. It's also slightly more affordable and has a more powerful GPU, which is beneficial for light gaming and creative work. However, it's larger and heavier, which affects its portability. On the other hand, the ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 features a versatile 2-in-1 design with a high-resolution 4K touchscreen, better color accuracy, and a more compact form factor, enhancing its portability. It also has more RAM, which is great for multitasking, and comes with Windows 10 Pro for additional business features. While it has a less powerful GPU, it's still suitable for general use and light creative tasks. If you prioritize a high-quality display, versatility, and portability, the Zenbook Flip S13 is the way to go. But if you want better performance for gaming or creative work and a larger screen, the Vivobook S 15 OLED is the better choice. Give Feedback

"The Asus Vivobook S 15 OLED excels as a capable work machine at an affordable price. It offers commendable performance, thanks to its 12th Gen Intel chip, delivers quality on-screen entertainment with its 15.6-inch OLED display, and can (kind of) get you through a full day of work. Oh, and its special Asus Antibacterial Guard is a nice touch for those who like a clean laptop."

"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."
