Pros and Cons

Asus TUF Dash F15 FX517

Strengths

The new Asus TUF Dash F-15 fx517 is indeed pretty thin and light, especially given its hidden gaming nature.
It meets the military-grade a10h standards despite the smaller chassis.
The keyboard has a 1.5 millimeter travel distance and a numpad section, with wasd keys that are transparent.
The touchpad offers excellent gliding and tracking while also having a much larger surface area compared to last year's model.
There are three panels to choose from, including a 144Hz refresh rate IPS panel and a 165Hz QHD resolution panel that covers 100% of the ultra-wide DCI-P3 gamut.
The battery life is very good, allowing it to reach almost 9 hours of web browsing or a bit less than 7 hours of video playback.

Weaknesses

It reached almost 60 degrees Celsius on the outside when put under heavy load in its predecessor model, and we weren't happy about that.
The base display option may not be the best for color-sensitive work, but it goes easy on the battery life.
If you need maximum performance, you'll have to make the notebook use the discrete GPU, which can boost the frame rate by up to 30%.
The top configuration has an RTX 3070 with 105 watt TGP, which is more than 30% higher than the fx516's best GPU.
The cooling system can still get quite hot under heavy load, although it's improved from its predecessor model.
We'd like to see even more potential unleashed from the CPU via software update.

Asus Zenbook 14 OLED

Strengths

Excellent single and multi-core performance, on par with or even better than the MacBook Air
Feature-rich compared to the MacBook Air, including touchscreen display, a superior OLED screen, and pen support
Great keyboard and touchpad
Very good battery life for its class
Improved performance over previous models like Lunar Lake
Not adding too much bulk or weight
Excellent value for its price point

Weaknesses

Screen burn-in and PWM issues with OLED displays
Only the SSD is upgradable, while RAM is soldered into the motherboard
Potential battery life compromise if opting for the 2.8K OLED 120 Hz display option
