Considering your choice between the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 and the Lenovo V15, the ASUS is typically higher-priced but offers a compact design, higher resolution OLED display which is great for vibrant colors and sharp imagery, and might be better suited for more demanding tasks with its Intel i5 CPU and Iris Xe graphics. Conversely, the Lenovo V15 comes with a larger screen, more storage out of the box, and sports an AMD Ryzen 5 CPU with Vega 7 graphics, which is capable but not top-of-the-line. It's better suited for general use and is more budget-friendly. Bear in mind, the Lenovo has a lower quality TN panel which is less ideal for color-sensitive work. The ASUS is also lighter and thinner, making it more portable, but has less built-in storage capacity. If your tasks are intensive and you benefit from a better display and portability, the ASUS might be worth the extra cost. However, if you're looking for a more economical option for everyday tasks and can manage with a less impressive screen, the Lenovo could meet your needs just fine. Give Feedback

The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 has a better screen than the Lenovo V15 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
For general use, the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 offers a brighter display with higher resolution and better panel technology, providing crisp text and vibrant colors, whereas the Lenovo V15's lower resolution and dimmer screen result in less clarity and vibrancy. For engineering and design, the ASUS's superior color gamut coverage ensures more accurate and vivid color reproduction, which is essential for detailed work, while the Lenovo's limited color range may not render colors as precisely. When it comes to 3D and gaming, the ASUS falls short with a lower refresh rate leading to less smooth motion, while the Lenovo also offers a less ideal gaming experience due to its similarly poor refresh rate and subpar display characteristics.

How the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 and the Lenovo V15 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 strengths of the Lenovo V15 G2 AMD lie in its expandability of the RAM and allowing you to use two SSDs, in its performance that goes beyond everyday applications thanks to AMD's hexa-core CPU and Vega-7 iGPU, in its good keyboard, and its relatively robust case. In addition, the battery life of the office laptop is also acceptable, and the device stays cool and relatively quiet."
