If portability and touchscreen capability are important to you, the ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 is a good choice as it is lighter and comes with a touchscreen. However, the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 offers better graphics performance and is more suitable for gaming, 3D rendering, and intensive engineering tasks, although it is heavier and does not include a touchscreen. The ASUS has a higher resolution display which is better for tasks requiring clarity, such as editing high-resolution images, while the Lenovo has a faster refresh rate that's advantageous for gaming. The Lenovo is generally less expensive, so if your budget is a constraint and you need a laptop with robust performance, it could be the better option. 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."

Benjamin Herzig | November 2022
"The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 is a slim Legion notebook that is just as excellent with Nvidia & Intel. However, the Legion Slim 7i slightly sullied by lacklustre battery life. You get a slim aluminium chassis, great input devices, decent port selection, fast high-quality WQXGA display and great performance. Supporting Thunderbolt 4 is one advantage of the Intel/Nvidia model tested in this review. Moreover, this variant has slightly higher CPU performance as well as better GPU performance in certain applications (e.g. CUDA-based apps). The Lenovo Legion S7i is thin, premium and performant – but less efficient than its AMD counterpart."
