For better performance, especially in tasks like 3D work, machine learning, or gaming, the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED is a great choice due to its OLED screen with higher resolution and color accuracy. However, its smaller size makes it more portable. The Lenovo V15, on the other hand, offers more storage space and better battery life, making it suitable for general use and longer working sessions away from power outlets. It's also slightly larger which could be beneficial for productivity but may reduce portability. Choose the ASUS for high-end tasks and portability, or the Lenovo for storage and battery efficiency in everyday use. Give Feedback

Matthew Buzzi | September 2023
"While one of the more budget-friendly configurations of the Asus Zenbook 14X OLED may make a compelling case as a top value pick, it’s difficult to be disappointed with the more expensive model we reviewed here. At its core, for all models, it’s a luxury-built laptop with extreme portability and a gorgeous OLED display. Our unit rocks with a snappy Core i9 processor for getting real work done, and the discrete GPU—even if it has a clear power ceiling—is a bonus for creative pros."

"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."
