If you prioritize portability and a lower price, the ASUS Vivobook 16X would be the right choice for you. However, if you're looking for higher screen resolution and potentially better gaming performance thanks to a faster refresh rate, the Lenovo Legion 5i Pro could be a better fit, albeit at a higher cost. Keep in mind, with the Legion 5i Pro, you might also get more robust build quality suitable for intensive tasks but this comes with increased weight, affecting portability. Both laptops have similar central processing unit and graphics card capabilities, so performance in many tasks might be comparable. Give Feedback

Tech Critter

Kok Kee | February 2023
"I think the ASUS Vivobook 16X is fantastic. Great performance, decent battery life, good keyboard and trackpad, and a massive screen – just that the screen quality itself is kinda subpar. If you’re okay with the screen, then I think this is an okay laptop. However, I’d like to see a price drop."

PCMag

Brian Westover | August 2023
"The midpriced Lenovo Legion Pro 5i Gen 8 follows some of our favorite gaming machines, including last year's model and the higher-end Legion Pro 7i Gen 8 tested earlier this year. But pedigree doesn't count for much in the computer world, and gaming laptops require a certain level of power and graphics performance to justify their prices. The Pro 5i Gen 8 just doesn't do that, offering middling CPU and GPU performance rather than the sort of muscle that would make it a great value."
