MacBook Pro 14 (M3) vs ZenBook S 14 OLED

The Apple MacBook Pro 14 with M3 Pro (11-core CPU, 14-core GPU) outperforms the ZenBook’s Intel Core Ultra 7 255H (16-core CPU, Arc 140T GPU) in sustained workloads due to 24W continuous power vs. 60W burst, delivering faster rendering and longer peak performance without thermal throttling. Choose the MacBook Pro if you edit 4K video in Final Cut Pro — its 24GB RAM and 1TB SSD handle multi-track timelines smoothly, and its 10–12 hour battery lasts through full workdays. Pick the ZenBook if you run Windows-only apps like AutoCAD or need 32GB RAM for heavy multitasking with 16GB soldered DDR5 and Wi-Fi 7 for low-latency cloud workflows. In UAE at AED 6599 vs. AED 5899, the ZenBook wins on value because it offers 32GB RAM for just AED 700 less; in India at ₹164900 vs. ₹149990, the ZenBook wins on value because it delivers 50% more RAM at ₹14910 lower cost.
