The ASUS Vivobook Go 15 is more affordable and offers basic performance suitable for simple tasks like browsing and document editing, with lower storage capacity and modest screen quality. However, its battery life is shorter, and it lacks advanced features. The Lenovo Slim Pro 7 14, on the other hand, is pricier but delivers high performance for engineering, 3D work, and casual gaming, thanks to its powerful processor and dedicated graphics. It also has a higher-resolution, brighter display with better color accuracy, touch support, longer battery life, and it's lightweight, enhancing portability. Choose the ASUS for cost-effective basic use or the Lenovo for demanding applications and better multimedia experience. Give Feedback

"The Lenovo Slim Pro 7 is an attractive, portable laptop that’s ideal if you need a combination of CPU and GPU performance. It also nails the fundamentals with solid connectivity, an enjoyable keyboard, a large touchpad, and top-notch webcam. Display quality is a weakness, but it’s an acceptable compromise for the laptop’s extremely competitive $1,199 MSRP. The Slim Pro 7 is a versatile, affordable laptop and hard to beat for the price."
