If portability and battery life are top priorities, the ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 is more lightweight and offers longer battery life. It also features a smaller, high-resolution touchscreen making it suitable for general use and multimedia. On the other hand, the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 has a larger screen with a higher refresh rate and a powerful dedicated graphics card, making it better for gaming, 3D rendering, machine learning, and more demanding engineering tasks. However, this comes with added weight and reduced battery life compared to the ASUS. The Lenovo is also generally less expensive. 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."
