For a balance of performance and portability with a vibrant OLED display, the ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED is a strong choice, especially for general use and creative tasks. It's lighter and thinner, making it more suitable for on-the-go productivity. However, if you prioritize gaming, 3D rendering, or machine learning tasks, the Eluktronics RP-15 offers superior GPU performance with its Nvidia RTX 4060, though it's heavier and has a shorter battery life. The RP-15 also provides more RAM, which is beneficial for multitasking and more demanding applications. Consider your primary use case: the ASUS for everyday tasks and content consumption with its superior screen, or the Eluktronics for more graphically intensive activities. Give Feedback

How the ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED and the Eluktronics RP-15 compare to other laptops
"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."
"To conclude, I’m genuinely impressed with Eluktronics and what they have been able to deliver with the RP-15. You see this is all about maximizing performance, cooling, and giving users the most flexible I/O, and then wrapping it into a chassis that doesn’t feel super cheap. Let’s also not forget the price point, I think they have really nailed it in that department."
