The ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED is a lower-priced option with an exceptional display for color accuracy and contrast, making it excellent for general use and visual tasks. However, the Lenovo Slim Pro 7 14, despite being slightly pricier, offers better graphics capacity due to its dedicated GPU, which is more suitable for 3D, machine learning, and gaming. The Lenovo also boasts a longer battery life, making it more portable. Both feature similar storage and RAM but the ASUS is bulkier and heavier. If portability and gaming or 3D performance are priorities, go with the Lenovo; for visual tasks and to save a bit on cost, choose the ASUS. Give Feedback

The ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED, with an Intel i9 processor and integrated Iris Xe graphics, excels in CPU-intensive engineering tasks and offers a large, high-contrast OLED screen for design work, but lacks a dedicated GPU for more demanding 3D tasks. Meanwhile, the Lenovo Slim Pro 7 14 pairs an AMD Ryzen 7 processor with an Nvidia RTX 3050 graphics card, providing balanced performance for both engineering computations and graphics-intensive workflows, along with a slightly smaller high-resolution IPS display.

The ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED offers an excellent OLED screen with high resolution and color accuracy for vibrant visuals, paired with a powerful Intel processor for solid general performance; however, its battery life is shorter, which along with a larger screen size affects portability.

"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."

"The Lenovo Slim Pro 7 is an attractive, portable laptop that’s ideal if you need a combination of CPU and GPU performance. It also nails the fundamentals with solid connectivity, an enjoyable keyboard, a large touchpad, and top-notch webcam. Display quality is a weakness, but it’s an acceptable compromise for the laptop’s extremely competitive $1,199 MSRP. The Slim Pro 7 is a versatile, affordable laptop and hard to beat for the price."
