Asus Vivobook Pro 14 OLED Review: Makes Content Creation And Consumption Priority

Asus' Vivobook series of laptops are known for their thin-and-light design along with affordable price tags. The company makes a multitude of laptops under its Vivobook series, which includes entry-level devices, gaming laptops, and devices for content creators.



Asus India has now officially launched their first "Pro" laptop in the Vivobook series -- the Asus Vivobook Pro 14, which is one of the most affordable "Pro Grade" laptops from the company, meant for content creation.

I have been using the Asus Vivobook Pro 14 OLED with the Intel Core i5-11300H CPU and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 GPU. The laptop retails in India for Rs. 79,990. Here is the full review of the Asus Vivobook Pro 14 OLED, which is one of the first laptops in India with a 14-inch 1440p OLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate.

The Asus Vivobook Pro 14 OLED looks a lot like other Vivobooks that Asus launched this year. On top of that, there are some design elements such as an embossed Asus Vivobook logo at the back. There is also a different finish on the enter button, which also gives the Asus Vivobook Pro 14 OLED a unique character.

The bezels on the Asus Vivobook Pro 14 OLED aren't the thinnest that we have seen this year; however, they are not the thickest either. Even in terms of I/O, the Vivobook Pro 14 OLED has everything that one might expect from a laptop of this class -- dual USB-A ports, USB Type-C ports, HDMI port, 3.5mm headphone jack, microSD card slot, and a DC port.

Given how this laptop is targeted towards content creators, the brand should have included a full-sized SD card slot rather than a microSD card slot. Despite having a dedicated graphics card, the device just weighs at 1.4KG, which makes it an excellent companion for people who are always on the move.

For the entirety of using the Asus Vivobook Pro 14 OLED, it almost felt like an ultrabook, due to the lightweight design and the 14-inch display. The design and weight ensure that the Asus Vivobook Pro 14 OLED gives you all the computing capability that is also easy to carry even in a sling bag.

The display is definitely the highlighting factor of the Asus Vivobook Pro 14 OLED. The laptop not only has an OLED display, but it has a 1440p 90Hz OLED display with Pantone validated color calibration. The display has a 16:10 aspect ratio, again an important factor for content creators.

Besides, this is also a 90Hz panel capable of reproducing a peak brightness of 600nits with support for HDR. The display has 100 percent DCI-P3 colorspace coverage, making it a colorful and color-accurate panel.

With a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1, the blacks look blacker, the reds, greens, and blues look punchier without feeling oversaturated. The display also has additional features like the blue light reduction for eye care, 0.2ms response time, and is capable of producing 1.07 billion colors.

A color-accurate display is important for both content creators and content consumers. Even if you are into gaming, you will appreciate the popping colors and high-contrast color profile that OLED reproduces when compared to laptops with LCDs.

I watched plenty of movies and web series on the Asus Vivobook Pro 14 OLED and was happy with the overall performance of the display. Another important aspect of an OLED display is that it consumers less power when compared to other types of display, which will result in improved picture quality.

Having a 90Hz display also makes the Asus Vivobook Pro 14 OLED a sort of gaming laptop, albeit, the GTX 1650 might not be the most powerful GPU you might find on a gaming laptop of this price range. Again, those machines definitely won't have a display that could even come closer to the 2K 90Hz OLED display on the Vivobook Pro 14 OLED.
