An absolutely stacked device in terms of hardware, the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14X OLED isn’t your standard Vivobook. Powered by the high-performing Alder Lake H-series and the RTX 30-series graphics, there isn’t a thing that the laptop couldn’t handle.

Today we present you with LaptopMedia’s top 5 picks about the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14X OLED (N7401).
ASUS Vivobook Pro 14X OLED (N7401): Full Specs / In-depth Review
3 reasons to BUY the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14X OLED (N7401)
1. Design and build quality
The Vivobook Pro 14X OLED has a fully aluminum chassis, with next to no branding, except for the plaque on the lid that has an ASUS VivoBook inscription on it. The device is well built, as both the lid and the base are very rigid and show little to no flex at all. The whole laptop has a matte black finish which makes for a stealthy appearance when paired with the minimal design. The whole base has chamfered edges, with a different slightly glossier look. In terms of dimensions, the Vivobook Pro 14X OLED weighs only 1.68 kg and a profile of 17.9 mm.
2. Cooling
The cooling setup inside is quite capable of maintaining a consistently high load. It’s got two heat pipes that cover the CPU and GPU, along with two fans on the left and right sides. All in all, it looks like a miniaturized gaming laptop setup.
Max CPU load
Intel Core i7-12700H (45W TDP) | 0:02 – 0:10 sec | 0:15 – 0:30 sec | 10:00 – 15:00 min |
---|---|---|---|
ASUS Vivobook Pro 14X OLED (N7401) | 3.00 GHz @ 2.61 GHz @ 76°C @ 80W | 2.99 GHz @ 2.59 GHz @ 84°C @ 80W | 2.60 GHz @ 2.37 GHz @ 72°C @ 60W |
The setup takes great care of the Core i7-12700H, with high wattage and clock speeds, while temperatures remain low. Even in prolonged loads, the laptop does very well, so tasks like video rendering can be handled effortlessly.
Real-life gaming
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti | GPU frequency/ Core temp (after 2 min) | GPU frequency/ Core temp (after 30 min) | GPU frequency/ Core temp (Max fan) |
---|---|---|---|
ASUS Vivobook Pro 14X OLED (N7401) | 1577 MHz @ 69°C @ 50W | 1586 MHz @ 66°C @ 50W | – |
The GPU manages to max out its entire 50W power limit while remaining cool. Clock speeds are adequate as well, but what’s, more important, is that they are stable.
Gaming comfort
The base gets a bit warm, while noise from the fans can become audible, especially if you fancy the “Performance” preset.
3. Display
The 14.5-inch 2.8K OLED panel on the front has a 120Hz refresh rate and a 1ms response time, which even gaming laptops have a hard time reaching. As it uses OLED tech, the blacks are very deep, while the viewing angles are very comfortable. It reaches 387 nits while showing full sRGB and DCI-P3 coverage.
The color accuracy doesn’t improve a lot even with our Design and Gaming profile.
The lowest we can get is inside the DCI-P3 color space with a D65 white point, which results in a dE value of 2.2.

Praca biurowa
Office Work powinien być używany głównie przez użytkowników, którzy spędzają większość czasu patrząc na fragmenty tekstu, tabele lub po prostu surfując. Profil ten ma na celu zapewnienie lepszej wyrazistości i jasności poprzez utrzymanie płaskiej krzywej gamma (2.20), natywnej temperatury barwowej i percepcyjnie wiernych kolorów.
Projektowanie i gry
Profil ten skierowany jest do projektantów, którzy zawodowo zajmują się kolorystyką, a także do gier i filmów. Design and Gaming wykorzystuje panele wyświetlaczy do granic ich możliwości, czyniąc je tak dokładnymi, jak to tylko możliwe w standardzie sRGB IEC61966-2-1 dla stron internetowych i HDTV, przy punkcie bieli D65.
Health-Guard
Health-Guard eliminuje szkodliwą modulację szerokości impulsu (PWM) i redukuje negatywne niebieskie światło, które wpływa na nasze oczy i ciało. Ponieważ jest on dostosowany do każdego panelu, udaje mu się zachować percepcyjnie dokładne kolory. Health-Guard symuluje papier, dzięki czemu nacisk na oczy jest znacznie zredukowany.
