Pros and Cons

Dell Inspiron 14 5425

Strengths

The step up from a 720p camera to a 1080p camera with 30 frames per second is nice to see.
Having an AMD Ryzen 5 5625U processor and eight gigabytes of ram installed is a good configuration.
The 256GB NVMe type SSD provides decent storage for the laptop.
Upgrading the memory from single-channel DDR4 3200 to dual-channel would be beneficial, especially with a larger storage upgrade.
The inclusion of an AMD Vega-based graphics core (Vega 7) is a good option in this mainstream 15-watt based laptop.

Weaknesses

The lack of a dual-populated RAM configuration at the lower end of the memory scale may be limiting for some users.
The single DDDR4 3200 module installed as standard is only upgradable if going for 16 gigs or higher, which is not ideal for those who want to upgrade sooner.
The graphics are based on the AMD Vega architecture (Vega 7), rather than the newer RDNA2-based GPU found in other laptops like the Rembrandt chips.
The bios is up to date for December 21st, 2021, but there might be updates available after this review is written.
The laptop does not offer a configuration with more RAM and storage as desired by the reviewer.

Asus Vivobook Pro 16X OLED

Strengths

The massively faster HX core i9 CPU that scores up to 69 percent higher in Cinebench is a big upgrade compared to last year's model.
A brand new 16-inch 16x10 3.2 K QHD OLED panel running at 120 hertz is a great feature.
Up to an RTX 470 GPU provides fast gaming, 3D rendering and video editing performance.
The battery life is decent with a large 90Whr battery that can fast charge from zero to fifty percent in just 30 minutes.
The Wi-Fi Solution on the market with an Intel Wi-Fi 6E adapter ensures reliable high-speed connections.
It comes with Dolby Atmos sound system, which sounds loud and clear.

Dell Inspiron 14 5425

The Dell Inspiron 14 5425 boasts an AMD Ryzen 5 5625U processor, 8GB of RAM, and a Vega-based graphics core. The laptop also features a 256GB NVMe SSD, a 1080p webcam, and Windows 11 Home installed. My first impressions suggest this is a solid mid-range option, with performance that's sure to meet the needs of casual users. However, it remains to be seen whether its capabilities will hold up against more demanding tasks and competing laptops in the market.

Asus Vivobook Pro 16X OLED

The ASUS Vivobook Pro 16X OLED is a powerhouse laptop that checks all the right boxes. With its 69% performance boost thanks to the HX Core i9 CPU and an RTX 4070 GPU, it's a game-changer for creatives and gamers alike. Add to that a stunning 3.2K QHD OLED display running at 120Hz, up to 64GB of DDR5 RAM, and a massive 92Wh battery, and you have a laptop that's hard to ignore. But does it live up to its lofty expectations?
