The ASUS Vivobook 14 has a better screen than the Lenovo V15 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design, while the Lenovo V15 has a better screen for content creation, and software development.
If you're prioritizing a good display for everyday tasks like browsing and watching videos, the ASUS Vivobook 14, while not top-notch, offers a more satisfying visual experience than the Lenovo V15 due to better panel quality, resolution, and brightness. For engineering and design work where color accuracy is crucial, the ASUS's fair color gamut coverage will serve you better than the Lenovo, but neither are ideal for professional color work. In the realm of gaming or working with 3D applications, the ASUS falls short with its refresh rate and would not be as smooth as gaming-specific laptops, while the Lenovo V15 lags even more, making both a compromise for serious gaming or 3D rendering tasks.

PORTABILITY SCORE

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Lenovo V15 to be good for general use, while the ASUS Vivobook 14 is only fair.
The ASUS Vivobook 14, with an Intel i5 processor, 8GB RAM and an IPS screen, provides a balanced experience for general use but is somewhat limited by its smaller storage capacity and screen quality compared to the Lenovo V15, which boasts a more powerful AMD Ryzen 5 processor, double the memory, and a larger screen, albeit with lower screen color fidelity and portability due to its TN panel and heavier weight. While the Vivobook may appeal to those seeking portability with a very good heat management system, the Lenovo V15 offers increased performance and storage capacity for more demanding general use applications, despite its lower battery life and screen color accuracy.

The ASUS Vivobook 14 and Lenovo V15 are both only fair for engineering and design.
The ASUS Vivobook 14, with its Intel i5-1235U CPU, 8GB of RAM, and Intel Iris Xe graphics, alongside an IPS screen, is fair for engineering and design due to moderate performance capabilities and a quality display, but with less memory and storage compared to some alternatives. In comparison, the Lenovo V15 boasts a higher capacity AMD Ryzen 5 5500U, 16GB of RAM, and AMD Vega 7 graphics, paired with a TN screen, making it similarly fair for such tasks as it offers more memory and storage, but with lower screen quality and potential portability limitations.

Marvin Gollor | April 2022
"The strengths of the Lenovo V15 G2 AMD lie in its expandability of the RAM and allowing you to use two SSDs, in its performance that goes beyond everyday applications thanks to AMD's hexa-core CPU and Vega-7 iGPU, in its good keyboard, and its relatively robust case. In addition, the battery life of the office laptop is also acceptable, and the device stays cool and relatively quiet."
