The ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED offers a vibrant OLED display with superior color accuracy and higher resolution, making it ideal for visual tasks and entertainment. It's also more powerful with a dedicated GPU, suitable for light gaming and creative work. The sleek design and backlit keyboard add to its appeal. However, it's pricier and heavier than the Lenovo V15, and its battery life is shorter. On the other hand, the Lenovo V15 is a budget-friendly option with a longer battery life, making it a practical choice for everyday tasks and extended use on the go. It has a less impressive TN display and relies on integrated graphics, which limits its performance for gaming and intensive applications. But it's lighter, has more RAM, and offers excellent keyboard quality, making it a solid choice for general productivity and business use. Consider the ASUS for better performance and display quality if you're willing to compromise on portability and price. Opt for the Lenovo V15 if you prioritize battery life, a lighter design, and a lower price point for general use. 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."

Marvin Gollor | April 2022
"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."
