The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 offers an OLED screen with deep blacks and vibrant colors, making it great for media consumption, while the Lenovo Slim 7 16 features a larger IPS screen with a higher refresh rate suitable for smoother visuals in gaming and video editing. The Vivobook is more portable due to its smaller size and lighter weight but has less storage and memory than the Lenovo, which might be better for handling demanding tasks and multitasking. The Lenovo also includes a dedicated graphics card, which will be beneficial for 3D tasks and machine learning applications. If you require a touchscreen, long battery life, and higher performance for demanding applications, including gaming, choose the Lenovo. However, if portability, an OLED display, and general use performance are your priority, the ASUS could be the better option. Choose based on what aligns best with your needs. 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."

Eric Grevstad | March 2022
"At $1,011, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 Pro is a real bargain among full-sized laptops, with a handsome 16-inch, 16:10 aspect ratio touch screen, a speedy CPU, a comfortable keyboard, ample memory, and a roomy solid-state drive. It's not a blazing gaming rig or mobile workstation, but it doesn't pretend to be. Its biggest negative is that it may be hard to find—during our review, it sold out and was marked "Temporarily Unavailable" on Lenovo's site."
