The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED is less expensive and lighter, making it more portable, with an OLED screen for vibrant colors and contrast. It's good for everyday use and has a high-resolution touchscreen. Conversely, the Eluktronics RP-15, while more expensive and heavier, comes with more RAM and a dedicated GPU, making it better suited for gaming, 3D work, or engineering tasks that require more graphical power. The choice depends on whether portability and cost-saving are priorities, or if better performance in demanding applications justifies the higher price and weight. Give Feedback

The Eluktronics RP-15 is good for gaming and AI, while the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED is only fair.
The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED, with its integrated Intel GPU and 120Hz screen refresh rate, offers modest gaming and 3D performance suitable for casual play, while the Eluktronics RP-15, equipped with a more powerful Nvidia RTX GPU and a higher 165Hz refresh rate, is cut out for more serious gaming and demanding 3D tasks. Additionally, the Zenbook focuses on screen quality with an OLED panel, and the RP-15 balances performance with a good quality IPS display, catering to different user preferences for visuals versus gaming capabilities.

The Eluktronics RP-15 is very good for engineering and design, while the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED is good.
The Eluktronics RP-15 is better suited for engineering and design because it has a more powerful CPU and GPU combination which are very important for such tasks, and double the RAM of the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED, enhancing its ability to handle complex processes. Although the ASUS has a high-quality OLED screen for sharp and vibrant visuals, the RP-15's superior processing power, especially the inclusion of a dedicated Nvidia graphics card, makes it very good for demanding engineering software and any design work that may benefit from better graphic rendering capabilities.

The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED has a better screen than the Eluktronics RP-15 for general use, and engineering and design.
In general use, the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED offers deep contrast and vibrant colors due to its OLED panel, while its high resolution provides sharp imagery, and sufficient brightness ensures easy visibility. For engineering and design, this laptop's ability to display a wide range of colors is crucial for precision work, and the OLED panel represents color gamuts like DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB accurately. However, for gaming and 3D applications where fluid motion is key, the Zenbook's lower refresh rate may not deliver the smoothest experience, making it less ideal despite its good resolution and panel type.

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."

"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."
