ASUS Vivobook 16X vs LG Gram 17

The LG Gram 17 offers a larger, higher-resolution screen with superior color accuracy and a more robust battery life complemented by its lightweight design, enhancing portability and making it very good for general use. In contrast, the ASUS Vivobook 16X, while solid for general use with a strong CPU and dedicated GPU, is heavier and has a shorter battery life, which may compromise portability and long-term use away from a power source.

PerfectRec’s Gaming and AI Score strongly emphasizes graphics processing capability, while also taking into account other factors that impact suitability for gaming and AI work.

PerfectRec’s Content Creation Score takes into account the many different features of the laptop that make it more or less suitable for photo editing, video editing and other content creation tasks.

PerfectRec’s Software Development Score takes into account the many different features of the laptop that make it more or less suitable for software developers.

The ASUS Vivobook 16X and LG Gram 17 both have displays with resolutions and panel types that provide crisp, clear images and wide viewing angles, making them suitable for general use and detailed engineering work which benefit from high pixel density and accurate color reproduction. However, their screens might lack the high refresh rates preferred for smooth visuals in gaming and 3D modeling, which can be crucial for a seamless experience in fast-paced scenarios. Additionally, while both screens can reproduce colors well for engineering and design tasks, professionals working in color-critical applications might find the displays' color gamut coverage less than ideal when compared to specialized monitors designed for high-end color work.

Battery life estimate is based on a mix of common use patterns. More portable and higher performing laptops tend to have less battery life.

The ASUS Vivobook 16X is very suitable for engineering and design due to its powerful Intel i7 CPU, dedicated Nvidia RTX GPU, and high-quality IPS display, providing strong performance for demanding software and detailed visual work, though it's heavier compared to the LG Gram 17 which offers good engineering performance with its own capable Intel i7 CPU, integrated graphics, and a higher-resolution lightweight IPS screen, making it highly portable but less fit for graphically intensive tasks. While both have ample RAM for multitasking, the Vivobook's dedicated GPU and high-refresh rate screen give it an edge in complex visual tasks, whereas the LG Gram 17's superior portability and screen resolution benefit users on-the-go with less demanding graphical needs.
