The ASUS Vivobook 16X is generally less expensive and includes a number pad on the keyboard, which may be convenient for spreadsheets and data entry, but its lower price reflects its lower screen resolution and slightly smaller battery capacity. In contrast, the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" has a higher-resolution display and longer battery life, which would be beneficial for video editing and general multimedia work. Both laptops are equipped with the same GPU, offering good performance for 3D rendering, machine learning, and gaming, with the Lenovo slightly outperforming in these areas. The Legion Slim 7 also boasts a higher refresh rate, providing smoother visuals in fast-paced games. If you prioritize screen quality and battery life, and don’t mind spending more, the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 may be a better choice. However, if you want to save money and prefer a device with a number pad, the ASUS Vivobook 16X could be suitable for your needs. 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."

NotebookCheck

Benjamin Herzig | November 2022
"The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 is a slim Legion notebook that is just as excellent with Nvidia & Intel. However, the Legion Slim 7i slightly sullied by lacklustre battery life. You get a slim aluminium chassis, great input devices, decent port selection, fast high-quality WQXGA display and great performance. Supporting Thunderbolt 4 is one advantage of the Intel/Nvidia model tested in this review. Moreover, this variant has slightly higher CPU performance as well as better GPU performance in certain applications (e.g. CUDA-based apps). The Lenovo Legion S7i is thin, premium and performant – but less efficient than its AMD counterpart."
