ASUS Zenbook 14 UM3406KA-QD135WSM | 14" OLED | Ryzen™ AI 7 350 Processor | Radeon™ Graphics | 16 GB RAM | 512 GB SSD | WIN 11

or

Acer Swift 14 SF14-51-553D | 14.5" OLED | Intel Core Ultra 5 228V | Intel ARC Graphics | 32GB RAM | 1TB SSD | WIN 1

I prefer the build quality of the Zenbook. However, here in our country it is only limited to 16GB and 512GB storage.

Do you have any recommendations instead buying either one of the laptops that I mentioned above?

In terms of performance the ZenBook is better. But 16 GB RAM is only good if you don’t multitask or don’t do a lot of RAM intensive tasks.

You can try to get a Lenovo laptop- like the yoga 7 , IdeaPad 16 , the Thinkpad X9 or just wait for a few months and get a newer ZenBook model. Maybe they supply the new model with 32 GB RAM.

What’s your max budget? and what are your use cases?
