The ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED offers more storage and a larger, higher-resolution OLED screen, which is great for immersive colors and contrast, especially beneficial for content creation and media consumption. It also has a more powerful processor that's suitable for intensive tasks such as gaming or engineering software, though it's less portable due to its larger size and weight. On the other hand, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7i Pro is more portable with a lighter and slimmer design, with a smaller screen and a processor that's less suited to heavy-duty tasks but still capable for general use. The IdeaPad also tends to be less expensive than the Vivobook. If portability and cost are a priority for you, the IdeaPad may be the better option, but if you need high performance and a premium display, consider the Vivobook. Give Feedback

"The Asus Vivobook S 15 OLED excels as a capable work machine at an affordable price. It offers commendable performance, thanks to its 12th Gen Intel chip, delivers quality on-screen entertainment with its 15.6-inch OLED display, and can (kind of) get you through a full day of work. Oh, and its special Asus Antibacterial Guard is a nice touch for those who like a clean laptop."

Allen Ngo | October 2021
"The main selling point of the IdeaPad Slim 7i Pro versus a regular IdeaPad Slim 7 is its faster Core H-series CPU. In reality, the Core i7-11370H is only marginally faster than the U-series Core i7-1165G7 to the point where most users are not likely to notice the benefits. The slight performance uptick comes at the cost of slightly higher power consumption as well meaning owners will have to deal with potentially warmer temperatures or louder fans to compensate. Unless if you happen to be a power user, then the regular non-Pro model will be more than enough. Once you go 90 Hz, you can't go back."
