Based on the information provided, the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 offers an OLED display with higher resolution and superior color coverage, making it an excellent choice for tasks that require precise color grading, such as photo or video editing. However, it has less storage and memory than the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7i, and its battery life is shorter, which could be a drawback for users needing to work for extended periods away from a power source. The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7i, having a more recent and somewhat more powerful processor, more memory, and additional storage, is better suited for more intensive engineering or 3D/machine learning tasks. It also has a longer battery life and lighter weight, enhancing portability for daily commuting. If sheer performance and portability are priorities, the Lenovo might be preferable, while the ASUS stands out for creative work that benefits from its display qualities. Give Feedback

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."

"Among Lenovo's multiple laptop brands, the IdeaPad family is decidedly the one designed for consumers: people who want decent performance at a reasonable price. Consider, then, this laptop a paragon for the pickier members of that crowd. With a 14-inch touch-enabled display, a comfortable keyboard, an Evo-certified Intel Core i7 11th Generation CPU, and the latest Windows 11 operating system, the IdeaPad Slim 7i Pro ultraportable ($1,199 as tested) is a slick mainstream machine at a bit of a premium price, and quite capable for everyday tasks."
