Asus are renowned for their quality laptops, and two of their newest and brightest displays have recently come on the market: the Zenbook 14 OLED and the Vivobook Pro 16 OLED. Both laptops feature OLED displays, so which should you opt for? This article looks at the features and differences of both laptops to help you make your decision.
The first laptop is the ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED, powered by Intel's 13th gen Core i7-1360P processor, 14-inch (35.56 cm) 2.8K 90Hz OLED display, 16GB of RAM, 512GB SSD, Iris XE GPU, a 75WHr battery, and a Silver body weighing just 1.39 kg. It runs the Windows 11 operating system and comes with Microsoft Office 2021.
The second laptop, the Vivobook Pro 16 OLED, features Intel's 13th gen Core i5-13500H processor, a 16-inch 3.2K 120Hz display, 16GB of RAM, 512GB SSD, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card, a 96WHr battery, and a Silver body weighing 1.90kg. It runs Windows 11 and is bundled with FingerPrint software.
In terms of performance, both laptops offer excellent performance. The Zenbook 14 (with its i7-1360P processor) has more power than the Vivobook Pro 16 (which has the less powerful i5-13500H). This gives the Zenbook 14 an edge in tasks involving intensive workloads and gaming. Additionally, the Zenbook 14 has a brighter display – 2.8K 90Hz compared to 3.2K 120Hz on the Vivobook Pro 16 – meaning you'll be able to view your work more clearly.
The Vivobook Pro 16, however, does have a few advantages over the Zenbook 14. Firstly, it is larger and heavier, meaning it will stay in place more securely. Secondly, it has a more powerful GPU (Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050) which makes it better for gaming and graphics-related tasks. Finally, the battery life on the Vivobook Pro is significantly better, promising up to 8.5 hours of use compared to the Zenbook 14’s 6.5 hours.
In conclusion, both laptops offer excellent performance and bright OLED displays. For intensive tasks and gaming, the Zenbook 14 is the better option, while those who need a larger and more powerful laptop (with a longer battery life) should opt for the Vivobook Pro 16. When it comes to deciding which laptop is best for you, it really depends on your own individual needs and preferences.
