The ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 offers a high-resolution 4K display with an IPS panel, which is excellent for detailed visual work and general use, though its color accuracy is slightly less than the Samsung. It's equipped with an Intel i7 processor and integrated Iris Xe graphics, providing solid performance for everyday tasks and some light engineering work, but it may struggle with more demanding 3D tasks. Its 60Hz refresh rate is standard, suitable for general use but not ideal for fast-paced gaming or high-speed motion content. The ASUS is also a 2-in-1, offering versatility for those who need both laptop and tablet functionality.
On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 14 features an OLED display with a higher refresh rate of 120Hz, delivering vibrant colors and smooth visuals, which is particularly beneficial for fast-motion content and gaming. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor and Adreno 750 graphics are optimized for efficiency and longer battery life, making it a strong contender for general use and excellent portability. However, its performance in 3D rendering and engineering tasks might not match the ASUS due to the latter's more powerful Intel CPU. The Samsung also comes with Windows 11, offering a more recent operating system experience.
In summary, if you prioritize a superior display for media consumption and everyday tasks, along with longer battery life and a newer OS, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 14 is the way to go. However, if you need a bit more processing power for light engineering tasks and prefer a 4K resolution with a versatile 2-in-1 design, the ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 would be the better choice.

How the ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 and the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 14 compare to other laptops
"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."
