Considering the Asus Zenbook Flip S13 is more expensive but offers a higher resolution screen, more storage, and a slightly longer battery life compared to the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7i Pro. Both have similar RAM and high-quality IPS displays, but the Lenovo has a higher screen refresh rate, which might be better for fast motion viewing. The Lenovo is also slightly heavier and may have reduced performance owing to a less powerful processor. However, it's more budget-friendly. The choice depends on whether you prioritize screen quality and storage over cost savings and a slightly higher refresh rate screen. If extended battery life and a high-resolution display are important and you don't mind spending more, the Asus might be your preference. If you're looking for a more cost-effective option with adequate performance for general use, consider the Lenovo. Both laptops can handle everyday tasks well, but neither is ideal for intensive gaming despite their gaming-friendly features. Give Feedback

The ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 and Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7i Pro are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 is equipped with a high-resolution display but is limited by a standard refresh rate and an integrated GPU, which are suitable for moderate gaming and 3D work but not optimal for high-performance needs. In contrast, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7i Pro also features an integrated GPU but offers a higher screen refresh rate, which might provide a slightly smoother experience in some games and 3D applications, yet still doesn't match the capabilities of dedicated gaming hardware.

Charles Jefferies | January 2023
"The Asus Zenbook S 13 Flip is an ultra-sleek 2-in-1 convertible. A gorgeous OLED screen and lightweight magnesium chassis make this convertible a traveller’s dream. Its SSD isn’t fast, but it won’t hold you back in everyday use. Its battery life also isn’t class leading, but it’s hardly off the pace. Overall, the Zenbook S 13 Flip OLED holds its head high in the premium convertible category and is a smaller alternative to the Spectre x360 13.5 and the Yoga 9i Gen 7."

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."
