The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 is generally less expensive and offers a remarkable OLED display with high resolution, which is great for vibrant colors and contrast, especially beneficial for photo and video work. It has decent performance for everyday tasks and a good portability score due to its lighter weight. However, its performance may be limited for intensive engineering or 3D/machine learning applications. In contrast, the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 has better gaming and overall performance capabilities with a higher-refresh-rate IPS screen, a more powerful processor, and a dedicated graphics card. It's suitable for gaming and resource-intensive tasks but is heavier and usually more expensive, affecting its portability and cost considerations. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 15.6" is good for gaming and AI, while the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 is only fair.
The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 15.6" outperforms the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 in gaming and 3D tasks primarily because it has a superior GPU in the Nvidia RTX 3060 compared to the integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics in the ASUS, as well as a higher screen refresh rate of 165Hz versus 90Hz, which makes for smoother visuals during fast-paced action. While the ASUS has a high-quality OLED screen with higher resolution, the Lenovo's combination of a high-end dedicated GPU and faster refresh rate makes it better suited for gaming and graphics-intensive applications.

The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 has a better screen than the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 for general use, and engineering and design, while the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 has a better screen for content creation, and software development.
If you prioritize a vivid and sharp display for everyday tasks or professional design work, the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 stands out due to its high-resolution panel that provides excellent clarity and color reproduction. Its superior ability to represent a wide range of colors makes it well-suited for precision tasks like photo editing or graphic design where color accuracy is paramount. However, for gaming or 3D modeling, where fast-paced visuals benefit from smoother transitions, the lower refresh rate of both the ASUS and Lenovo laptops could hinder performance, making them less ideal choices for those specific activities.

How the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 and the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 15.6" compare to other laptops
"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 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."
