When considering the ASUS Zenbook Flip S13, if your priority is portability and battery life for general use, and you prefer a touchscreen with a high-resolution display, it's the superior choice. However, the Lenovo Legion 7i Pro offers significantly higher performance for intensive engineering tasks, 3D rendering, machine learning, and is better suited for intensive gaming, but this comes with extra weight and reduced battery life. The Legion 7i Pro is also equipped with a more powerful processor, additional memory, and advanced graphics, making it suitable for demanding software and multitasking. Consider the Zenbook Flip S13 for everyday tasks and travel, or the Legion 7i Pro for high-performance needs and gaming, recognizing the tradeoffs in cost, weight, and portability. Give Feedback

Tom's 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."

The bright, sharp, and color-accurate 16:10 QHD 240 Hz display makes for an immersive viewing experience. The hardware is housed in a stylish chassis that feels premium and scores well in terms of workmanship and stability. Other aspects such as sound quality, input devices, and connectivity also seem to be near-perfect."
