The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 is very good for engineering and design, while the ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 is good.
The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 outperforms the ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 in engineering and design due to its more powerful AMD Ryzen CPU and Nvidia RTX GPU, which excel in compute-intensive tasks and graphics rendering, whereas the ASUS offers a higher-resolution touchscreen but less capable onboard graphics suitable for less demanding design work. While the ASUS boasts better portability and a 2-in-1 form factor that may appeal to users seeking versatility and mobility, the Lenovo, being heavier and larger, provides superior performance and screen real estate, at the cost of being less convenient to carry.

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."

Mark Knapp | July 2023
"It doesn't quite match its Legion Pro 7i sibling as an Editors' Choice winner, but Lenovo's AMD-powered Legion Pro 5 Gen 8 is a stylish, well-built gaming laptop with solid performance at both 1080p and its sharper native resolution. It's cheaper than some comparably equipped machines and better than some similarly priced ones. That's a recipe for success, even without its frequent availability of discounts or sales. A brighter screen and longer battery life would be nice, but even as is the Legion Pro 5 earns a solid recommendation."
