The 16-inch QHD plus 240 hertz display is a great option
Ultra low profile mechanical keyboard was great with excellent feedback
Excellent CPU and GPU performance as well as Competitive Gaming performance

Asus VivoBook Pro 14X OLED

Strengths

The entire configuration is getting more confusing by the day, but I personally pick this laptop at a price range of 47999 because I really do love it.
I'll personally pick this laptop...because I really do love it a lot.
The display has really good color accuracy overall.
Not having flickering on the screen itself means that my eyes will be less strained.
This keyboard is technically the same one as the Vivobook Pro 15, but I like even more because it doesn't have a number pad so my left hand doesn't have to shift it here just to type
The virtual trackpad feature works literally the same as the Pro Art Studio Book 16 OLED
For the price of 4799 I'll pick this laptop over the ASUS Vivobook Pro 15 Oled M3500Q because this laptop for some reason it feels a lot more refined, more comfortable to use and not having a number pad really changes the whole experience a lot for me in terms of comfort
