Are there any alternatives?

There are a host of larger laptops that are sold to a “content-creation” audience. The closest in price and performance is the HP Envy 15, though it’s not as powerful and is a bit more expensive.

　　The 14-inch Acer Swift X is a good alternative. Though it’s smaller, it features similar performance at almost the same price. It lacks the tremendous OLED screen, of course.

　　Lastly, if you have the money for it, the XPS 15 or XPS 17 won’t let you down — they’ll just cost you an arm and a leg.

　　

How long will it last?

The Vivobook Pro 16X OLED should be a solid laptop for five or six years, though you won’t be able to get a warranty for that long. The components inside, though, are high-end and should be able adequately to power workloads, games, and applications for many years.

　　

Should you buy it?

Yes. It’s a laptop with high-end components at an amazingly affordable price.
