The ASUS Vivobook S 16 OLED offers a vibrant OLED display with a higher resolution and better color coverage, making it ideal for vivid visuals and media consumption, though it's larger and heavier than the MSI Prestige 14. The MSI, on the other hand, is more compact and portable, with a longer battery life, making it a better choice for on-the-go productivity. While the ASUS has a more powerful GPU suitable for light gaming and creative work, the MSI's Iris Xe graphics are adequate for general use and casual gaming. The ASUS also provides a better keyboard experience and more RAM slots for future upgrades. Consider the ASUS for its superior display and performance capabilities if you prioritize visual quality and don't mind a bulkier device, or opt for the MSI if you need a lightweight, long-lasting laptop for everyday tasks.

Tech Radar

Collin Probst | September 2022
"The MSI Prestige 14” is excellent for productivity and business use cases, but it is not ideal for creators or visual content editors. The Prestige was able to power through days of email, spreadsheets, and text documents without breaking a sweat and was a joy to use. The additional ports were a breath of fresh air, as most laptops seem to be moving towards just Thunderbolt ports. The security options made signing in effortless, with two quick, more secure, and faster options than even the most complex alphanumeric passcode."
