The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 offers an OLED display with higher resolution for crisp visuals, making it suitable for tasks where vivid color and detail are important. In contrast, the Lenovo Flex 5 14 sports a 2-in-1 convertible feature allowing it to be used as a tablet, ideal for versatility in use cases like note-taking or presenting. The Lenovo also offers double the storage and memory, which is beneficial for multitasking and data-intensive tasks. If battery life is a priority, the Lenovo might have the edge, while the ASUS is lighter for easier portability. Choose ASUS for display quality and portability, or Lenovo for multipurpose use, more storage, and likely better battery life. Give Feedback

The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 has a better screen than the Lenovo Flex 5 14 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design, while the Lenovo Flex 5 14 has a better screen for content creation, and software development.
For general activities like web browsing or watching videos, the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14's screen offers sharp images and vibrant colors due to its high resolution and brightness, making it more appealing than the Lenovo Flex 5 14. When it comes to engineering and design work, which requires precise color representation for tasks like photo editing or CAD, the ASUS's wider color gamut coverage ensures more accurate color production compared to the Lenovo. However, for gaming and 3D rendering, where smooth motion is key, the lower refresh rate on the ASUS makes it less ideal, as a higher refresh rate found on other models would provide a more fluid experience.

The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 and Lenovo Flex 5 14 are both good for engineering and design.
The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14, with its OLED screen, offers better screen quality for engineering and design tasks, and the CPU and integrated graphics are suitable for moderate tasks; however, the Lenovo Flex 5 14’s AMD Ryzen 7 CPU and Vega 8 graphics provide strong performance as well, plus it comes with more RAM which is crucial for multitasking and complex software, and it has a touchscreen which adds versatility for designers. While the Vivobook's OLED screen provides high color accuracy and contrast, useful for detail-oriented design work, the Flex 5 enjoys higher portability due to its 2-in-1 convertible design, and additional memory, essential for engineering software, yet has a less vivid IPS screen which may affect color-sensitive tasks.

Marc Herter | July 2022
"The Asus Vivobook Pro 14 OLED is a Pantone Validated laptop that packs a lot of processing power. The Asus VivoBook Pro 14 OLED's highlight is its outstanding display: Featuring a 3K resolution in the 16:10 format and nearly a 100% coverage of the Display P3 color space, the display hardly leaves anything to be desired. The Asus laptop also shows impeccable rates in terms of general system performance. Combined with long battery life, low noise emissions, and relatively good speakers, the laptop can be recommended to users who can accept compromises in terms of connectivity."

"The highlight of the latest IdeaPad Flex 5 14 is clearly its AMD CPU. The octa-core Ryzen 7 5700U is insanely fast even when compared to the best Tiger Lake Ultrabooks in the market or even Core H CPUs in many gaming laptops. It's a lot of raw processing power for what is supposed to be a budget 14-inch convertible. If your daily workloads can benefit from extra multi-thread CPU performance, then look no further than the inexpensive AMD-powered Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14. For regular on-the-road browsing or video streaming, however, a slimmer and lighter 10th gen Core Yoga, Spectre, or XPS would be a more balanced option."
