The ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 is a versatile 2-in-1 convertible with a premium build and a high-resolution touchscreen that can pivot to be used in tablet mode, making it suitable for presentations and on-the-go use. It also typically offers better display quality and battery life, suited for professionals who need a machine for long hours without charging. However, if you need a laptop for heavy-duty tasks like gaming or video editing, the HP Victus 15 with its dedicated graphics card could serve you better. Bear in mind, the Zenbook is much lighter and slimmer than the Victus, enhancing portability but at a significant cost difference. Choose the Zenbook for premium build and flexibility or the Victus for more demanding graphics tasks at a lower price point. Give Feedback

The ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 has a better screen than the HP Victus 15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 likely offers a high-resolution display and excellent color accuracy, making it suitable for detailed work in engineering and design, but its refresh rate is lower which isn't ideal for gaming or 3D applications that benefit from smoother motion. Conversely, the HP Victus 15 may provide sufficient resolution and acceptable color reproduction for everyday tasks and some design work, but it too lacks the high refresh rate sought after by gamers and professionals using 3D programs. Both are compromised for gaming and 3D by their panel technology not being geared towards high frame rates, which is crucial for a fluid visual experience in fast-paced scenarios.

Charles Jefferies | January 2023
"The Asus Zenbook S 13 Flip is an ultra-sleek 2-in-1 convertible. A gorgeous OLED screen and lightweight magnesium chassis make this convertible a traveller’s dream. Its SSD isn’t fast, but it won’t hold you back in everyday use. Its battery life also isn’t class leading, but it’s hardly off the pace. Overall, the Zenbook S 13 Flip OLED holds its head high in the premium convertible category and is a smaller alternative to the Spectre x360 13.5 and the Yoga 9i Gen 7."

"The HP Victus 15 is great for gaming. It's available with Intel 12th Gen. CPUs and NVIDIA discrete graphics, which are powerful enough to provide a smooth gaming experience in demanding AAA titles at 1080p. It has a nice keyboard and a fast SSD, as well as Wi-Fi 6 and Ethernet connectivity for low-latency online gaming. Unfortunately, its 144Hz display has a slow response time causing noticeable ghosting, and it doesn't support variable refresh rate to reduce screen tearing."
