ASUS Vivobook S 15 vs LG Gram 16

The ASUS Vivobook S 15's screen may not provide the most vivid colors or sharpest details due to its fair resolution and brightness, which can be adequate for day-to-day tasks but may fall short for color-intensive engineering and design work where color accuracy is crucial. The LG Gram 16 offers better resolution and brightness, enhancing the viewing experience for general use and making it more suitable for professionals who require precise color representation, but it's limited in refresh rate, which is less ideal for the fast-paced visuals in gaming and 3D applications. Neither model excels in gaming or 3D rendering where higher refresh rates are necessary to keep motion smooth and reduce visual lag.

Battery life estimate is based on a mix of common use patterns. More portable and higher performing laptops tend to have less battery life.

The ASUS Vivobook S 15 shines with its robust AMD processor and ample storage, making it suitable for multitasking general use, though it's a bit heavier impacting its portability; meanwhile, the LG Gram 16 stands out with its superior screen resolution and light weight for outstanding portability, coupled with a long battery life for extended use away from power sources. While both have sufficient RAM for general tasks, the ASUS is more ready for storage-heavy applications, and the LG Gram provides a more vivid display and quieter operation, enhancing the user experience for content viewing and work in quiet environments.

The ASUS Vivobook S 15 and the LG Gram 16 are fair for gaming and 3D because they come with integrated GPUs, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800H Vega 8 and Intel i7-1260P Iris Xe respectively, which provide moderate graphical performance suitable for less demanding titles. Despite being capable, both have standard screen refresh rates of 60Hz, which may not deliver the smoothest gaming experience that more serious gamers seek.

The ASUS Vivobook S 15, with its AMD Ryzen CPU and integrated Vega 8 GPU, is tailored for engineering and design tasks that require robust processing power and moderate graphical capabilities, complemented by a high-contrast IPS screen. On the other hand, the LG Gram 16, while also equipped for engineering and design with its Intel CPU and Iris Xe graphics, stands out with a higher resolution display and striking color accuracy, in a significantly lighter package that enhances portability.
