3 reasons the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 OLED is an all-around laptop

04/08/2022

When it comes to laptops, some have their own specialties and carry certain features and specs. Some might target gamers, while other models cater more to business users with a more toned-down look and modest features.

What we have right here is the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 OLED (M3401). It comes in this unassuming form factor that might make you think it’s your usual coffee shop laptop but inside, it’s equipped with specs that can help you from your Excel sheet to editing videos and even running resource-heavy games.

If you’re looking for your next laptop that can do all these things and yet remain stealthy in public, read on. Here are three reasons why the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 OLED is a great all-around laptop.

Detailed images, spacious screen

The Vivobook Pro 14 OLED comes with a 2.8K resolution so you get detailed images and sharp picture quality. This makes streaming videos or browsing images a lot more interesting and provides a deeper appreciation of the content you’re consuming.

Plus, it has a 14-inch screen size so it’s bigger than other notebooks and with its 16:10 aspect ratio, you get more space vertically. This comes in handy when I’m editing videos as there is now more room for each window or even when I just have multiple windows open on my browser.

With these in mind, users benefit from its size and resolution whether they are using the laptop for productivity with its spacious screen real estate or for leisure and its detailed 2.8K resolution.

Accurate display color for color grading

As content creators, we value displays that show accurate colors. Sometimes in our photos or videos, we want to convey certain looks or emotions and these are done via color grading.

With its OLED panel, it’s able to reproduce colors that are more vibrant and blacks that are deeper than, say, when viewed on an LED screen.

The display also comes with 100% DCI-P3 color gamut so it has a wider color palette – therefore producing more accurate colors. And with its PANTONE validated display, you’re sure that the colors you’re getting have been verified and certified.

Use it for gaming or content creation

With the Vivobook Pro 14 OLED, you get the freedom to use it both for work and play. Under the hood is up to AMD Ryzen 9 CPU with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 graphics. This tandem makes sure that it can handle processes you throw at it whether it’s rendering heavy graphics for your video or running game titles smoothly with minimal hiccups.

And with up to 16GB RAM and up to 1TB SSD storage, you get capable components that will help ensure you experience a smooth performance throughout. To further sweeten the deal, the laptop boasts Harman Kardon speakers so you get loud and decent audio even by using its built-in speakers.

BONUS: Productivity-focused features

Apart from its really capable specs, the Vivobook Pro 14 OLED also comes with features and other hardware that allow its users to focus more on work and get stuff done not just faster, but also more secure.

For one, you can easily attend online meetings with no hassle thanks to its WiFi 6 capability that makes sure your connection is stable with no signal drops. We know how frustrating things could get when everyone in the video conference couldn’t hear or see you properly.

And speaking of attending video calls, it comes with a built-in HD webcam with its own privacy shutter so that you only need to check if the orange dot is visible to ensure that no one can see you on and off a call.

This is a great addition for users like me who sometimes get a bit paranoid about anyone nonconsensually looking through my webcam.

To add to those, ASUS brought its cool NumberPad 2.0 here which can be accessed with a simple press of a button. This transforms the trackpad into a digital Number Pad for those whose work involves a lot of numeric input.

Finally, its array of available ports also help with one’s productivity. With three USB-A ports, USB-C, a full-size HDMI, and even a microSD reader, it’s got most of what you’ll need to either transfer files or connect to other devices and help with office presentations, for example.

Final thoughts

The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 OLED starts at PhP 47,995 for the base model and includes a three-month subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud. Check here for the complete list of authorized stores.

I spent a good amount of time working and playing on it and I could say that it’s a great all-around laptop. You may read our full review or watch it in video form below for a more detailed breakdown of its capabilities.

Whatever it is you do – whether as creative editing videos or someone who works a lot with numbers – the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 OLED can adapt to your needs and can take on a number of different tasks, most of the time without breaking a sweat.
