Display & Design

One of the exciting aspects of witnessing advanced features become more prevalent in high-end laptops is the hope that these features will eventually trickle down to more affordable options. In this regard, Asus has been leading the way in incorporating impressive displays into their laptops, and the new Vivobook 14X OLED is a prime example.

The Vivobook 14X OLED features a gorgeous 14-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2880x1800 pixels. The OLED technology ensures vibrant colours, deep blacks, and excellent contrast, providing an immersive visual experience. Whether you're editing photos, watching movies, or working on spreadsheets, the display on this laptop kept me glued to it.

Admittedly, there isn't much else to highlight about this laptop. Compromises were inevitably made throughout the rest of the chassis to meet the price target, and the high-resolution display does have its trade-offs, notably in terms of battery life.

Coupled with 16GB of RAM, it handled demanding tasks with ease, allowing me to run multiple applications simultaneously without experiencing any lag or slowdowns.

Storage is another area where this laptop shines. With a spacious 1TB SSD, you'll have ample room to store all your files, documents, photos, and videos. The SSD not only provides generous storage space but also offers faster boot times and snappy responsiveness, making file transfers and application launches swift and seamless.
