The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" is very good for general use, while the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 is good.
The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 has less RAM and a less powerful CPU compared to the Lenovo Legion Slim 7, which has double the RAM and a higher-end CPU, contributing to the Legion's better performance for general use. Although the Vivobook has an OLED screen which is superior in color quality, the Legion offers overall higher performance, more storage, and better build quality, while both have similar battery lives and portability scores.

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" is very good for gaming and AI, while the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 is only fair.
The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" offers superior gaming and 3D performance primarily due to its high-end Nvidia RTX 4060 graphics card and a screen refresh rate of 240 Hz, which provide smooth visuals and fast rendering for complex games and 3D tasks. In contrast, the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14, equipped with an integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics card and a lower refresh rate of 90 Hz, delivers fair performance, suitable for less demanding games and 3D applications.

"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."
