The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 is less expensive and offers better portability, screen colors, and battery life, making it suitable for general use and on-the-go tasks. However, the Lenovo LOQ 15, while more expensive, has superior performance for 3D rendering, machine learning, and engineering applications due to its more powerful processor and graphics card. The Lenovo also has a higher quality keyboard and webcam but falls short in battery life compared to the ASUS. If your tasks are more intensive and require higher computational power, the Lenovo may be the better choice, despite its higher price and lower portability. Give Feedback

The Lenovo LOQ 15 and ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 are both good for general use, though the Lenovo LOQ 15 is somewhat better.
The Lenovo LOQ 15 outshines the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 for general use with its superior AMD Ryzen 7 processor, double the RAM, and more storage capacity, which significantly enhances multitasking and overall performance. While the Vivobook Pro has a more vibrant OLED screen and is lighter, making it more portable, the LOQ 15's benefits include better heat management and a backlit keyboard with a number pad, although it compromises on portability and has a shorter battery life than the Vivobook.

The Lenovo LOQ 15 is good for gaming and AI, while the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 is only fair.
The Lenovo LOQ 15 provides a better gaming and 3D experience due to its superior Nvidia RTX 4050 graphics card and a higher screen refresh rate, ideal for smoother motion in games, compared to the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 which has an integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics card and a lower refresh rate that may not handle gaming and 3D graphics as well. While both have high-quality screens, the GPU and screen refresh rate are more critical for gaming, giving the Lenovo LOQ 15 an edge in performance for these specific activities.

The Lenovo LOQ 15 and ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 are both good for engineering and design, though the Lenovo LOQ 15 is somewhat better.
The Lenovo LOQ 15 is considered very good for engineering and design use because it has a more powerful AMD Ryzen CPU and Nvidia GPU, alongside double the RAM of the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14, which translates to higher performance capabilities. Although the Vivobook Pro 14 has an OLED screen providing better screen quality, the LOQ 15's larger screen and higher refresh rate benefit design tasks, despite its lower portability due to its larger size and weight.

How the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 and the Lenovo LOQ 15 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."
"Even after a short time with the LOQ 15, you'll find it has a lot going for it, but ultimately it's just "good"—not quite a star. The performance is respectable for the hardware it’s running, but Lenovo had to make some design sacrifices to trim the price. One of the better aspects is the keyboard, making it one of the better low-cost gaming laptops to actually put your hands on."
