Besides having the best saturation, the OLED panel is validated by PANTONE, so it has the best color accuracy.

It weighs less than 1.5 kilograms, so it is quite portable even though the main outer body panel uses metal.

The rest is pretty much the same, including the two color options as well as interesting accents on some of the buttons and the unique ASUS logo on the outside of the body.
All variants of the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 & 15 OLED are designed to be suitable for voice calls, thanks to AI noise canceling technology that can reduce ambient noise.

And for the GPU, the Pro 14 OLED variant uses the NVIDIA GTX 1650, while the Pro 15 OLED is the same as the Pro 14X OLED series, aka RTX 3050.
