The ASUS Vivobook 15X 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.
For general use, the ASUS Vivobook 15X offers adequate clarity and visibility due to its fair resolution and brightness, making everyday tasks like browsing and video streaming pleasant, whereas the Lenovo V15's lower resolution and brightness result in a less crisp and vibrant display. In engineering and design, where color accuracy and range are crucial, the Vivobook 15X's fair color coverage supports a reasonable level of detail and color fidelity, while the Lenovo V15's limited color gamut may hinder the accuracy of detailed visual work. When it comes to Gaming and 3D, the high refresh rate is key for smooth motion, and the ASUS Vivobook 15X's lower refresh rate, despite fair resolution and panel type, underperforms for fast-paced visuals compared to laptops with higher refresh rates.

The Lenovo V15 and ASUS Vivobook 15X are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The ASUS Vivobook 15X and Lenovo V15 are fair for gaming and 3D applications mainly because both have integrated GPUs that are modest in performance, and screens with a refresh rate limited to 60Hz, hindering the potential for smoother gameplay. Additionally, while both feature IPS and TN panels respectively, screen quality is only acceptable, and paired with their CPUs, these laptops offer reasonable but not outstanding performance for tasks with graphics demands.

The ASUS Vivobook 15X and Lenovo V15 are both only fair for engineering and design.
The ASUS Vivobook 15X has a good combination of CPU, GPU, and RAM for general engineering and design, but it has a lesser RAM and storage capacity compared to the Lenovo V15, which offers twice the RAM and storage, which could be preferable for more complex tasks and projects. While both have fair screen quality, with the ASUS featuring an IPS panel for better viewing angles, the Lenovo's TN panel may offer less color accuracy but provides a higher contrast ratio; however, the ASUS is newly released with more current hardware, which might aid in better long-term performance for similar tasks.

"All in all, my day on the Vivobook had its ups and downs. It is a really pretty and well-built device, and it had all of the functionality I needed to get me through my browser-based workload. But the speakers weren’t my favorite, and the battery life was just too short."

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."
