The ASUS Vivobook S 14 OLED offers a vibrant OLED display with deep blacks and rich colors, making it ideal for media consumption and general use, though its resolution is lower than the Lenovo. It's also more compact and lightweight, enhancing portability. However, its performance is more suited for everyday tasks rather than demanding applications like gaming or engineering software. The battery life is longer, providing you with more hours of typical usage on a single charge. On the other hand, the Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5i boasts a higher resolution IPS display with a faster refresh rate, which is beneficial for smoother visuals in gaming and engineering tasks. It comes with a more powerful Nvidia RTX 4050 GPU and additional RAM, making it better equipped for intensive gaming, 3D rendering, and machine learning tasks. The IdeaPad also has more ports, including Thunderbolt 4, and offers a number pad on the keyboard, which can be a plus for productivity. It's a bit heavier and has a shorter battery life compared to the ASUS, but it's still a solid choice for those needing more performance. In summary, if you prioritize portability, battery life, and a superior display for general use, the ASUS Vivobook S 14 OLED is the way to go. However, if you need a laptop that can handle more demanding tasks like gaming or engineering work, and you don't mind a bit more weight and less battery life, the Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5i is the better choice.

Tom's Hardware
Brandon Hill | January 2024
"Lenovo’s IdeaPad Pro 5i represents an impressive opening salvo for Meteor Lake in the ultraportable space against familiar foes from AMD and Apple. Not only does the Core Ultra 5 125H processor provide good performance across the board, but battery life remains a strong point against the Acer Swift Edge 16 with its AMD Ryzen 7 7840U processor. It can’t quite match the endurance of the 15-inch MacBook Pro, but the gap is shrinking."
