Our Verdict

MacBook Pro 14 (M3) vs ZenBook S 14 OLED

Apple MacBook Pro 14 M3 Pro wins on CPU and GPU performance with its 11-core M3 Pro (5 P-cores, 6 E-cores) and 14-core GPU versus the ZenBook’s 16-core Intel Ultra 7 255H and Arc 140T, delivering superior sustained workloads without thermal throttling. Choose the MacBook if you edit 4K video with Final Cut Pro — its 24GB RAM and unified memory handle large timelines smoothly, and macOS optimizes battery life to 18+ hours.

In UAE at AED 5799 vs AED 4999, the ZenBook is better because it saves AED 800 while offering Wi-Fi 7 and 1.5kg lighter weight; in India at ₹144900 vs ₹124990, the ZenBook wins on value because it cuts ₹19,910 while matching storage and offering Wi-Fi 7.
