The ASUS Vivobook S 16 OLED offers a vibrant OLED display with a higher resolution and better color accuracy, making it ideal for visual tasks and media consumption, though it has a lower refresh rate compared to the Razer Blade 14. It's also more affordable and lighter, enhancing its portability. However, its performance is more suited for general use and light engineering tasks with its Intel Core Ultra 7 processor and Intel Arc graphics. It lacks the gaming aesthetics and advanced connectivity options like Thunderbolt ports found in the Razer Blade 14. On the other hand, the Razer Blade 14 is a powerhouse designed for gaming and intensive tasks with its AMD Ryzen 9 processor and Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti graphics, offering superior performance for 3D rendering, machine learning, and engineering applications. It has a faster refresh rate for smoother gameplay and includes Thunderbolt connectivity, which is absent in the ASUS. The Razer is pricier and slightly heavier, which may affect its portability, but it comes with premium features like a vapor chamber cooling system for better heat management during intense gaming sessions. In summary, if you prioritize a stunning display, general productivity, and value for money, the ASUS Vivobook S 16 OLED is a strong contender. But if raw performance, gaming capabilities, and advanced features are what you seek, despite the higher cost and weight, the Razer Blade 14 is the laptop for you. Give Feedback

Allen Ngo | May 2022
"After making a huge splash with the original 2021 model, it's expected that the 2022 refresh would be more of a minor update to an already impressive machine. It adds a higher resolution webcam (720p to 1080p), faster CPU (Ryzen 9 5900HX to Ryzen 9 6900HX), faster GPU (RTX 3070/3080 to 3070/3080 Ti), faster RAM (DDR4-3200 to DDR5-4800), faster M.2 SSD support (PCIe3 x4 to PCIe4 x4), newer WLAN module (Killer AX1690i to Qualcomm WCN685x), and a MUX switch for the new integrated Radeon 680M GPU. It's indubitably an upgrade especially in terms of single-thread processor performance."
