The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED offers an OLED display with higher resolution, more vibrant colors, and faster refresh rate for more fluid visuals, which is excellent for media consumption and general use. It's less expensive and lighter, but it has less battery life and less RAM than the Dell Latitude 5431. The Dell, on the other hand, provides longer battery life, more RAM for better multitasking, and a more professional appearance. It also includes Windows 11 Pro with more business features, which could be beneficial for business users. If portability and battery life are priorities for extended work sessions, consider the Dell; if a superior screen for visual tasks and savings are more important, the ASUS could be the preferable option.

PCMag

Matthew Buzzi | September 2023
"While one of the more budget-friendly configurations of the Asus Zenbook 14X OLED may make a compelling case as a top value pick, it’s difficult to be disappointed with the more expensive model we reviewed here. At its core, for all models, it’s a luxury-built laptop with extreme portability and a gorgeous OLED display. Our unit rocks with a snappy Core i9 processor for getting real work done, and the discrete GPU—even if it has a clear power ceiling—is a bonus for creative pros."
