The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 offers longer battery life, which is good for people on the go, but has a lower refresh rate and less color accuracy than the Lenovo LOQ 15, making it less suitable for tasks that require precise color representation like graphic design. In contrast, the Lenovo LOQ 15 has a higher refresh rate and better performance scores for 3D and machine learning tasks, which would benefit professionals in those fields, but at the cost of reduced battery life making it less portable. If portability and battery are your primary concerns, the ASUS might be better suited for you, whereas if performance in engineering or high-refresh needs is your priority, the Lenovo would be the preferable option.

"The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 offers a strong CPU, chassis, and display. One of the most popular 15.6-inch prosumer or multimedia laptops out there is the Dell XPS 15. Thus, comparisons between it and the Asus Zenbook Pro 15 are inevitable. Asus has a couple of tricks up its sleeve that XPS users are still missing out on including 1080p OLED and an AMD Ryzen CPU which help separate the Zenbook Pro 15 from the XPS 15. It also integrates a numpad and a few more port options albeit at the cost of a larger chassis size."

"Even after a short time with the LOQ 15, you'll find it has a lot going for it, but ultimately it's just "good"—not quite a star. The performance is respectable for the hardware it’s running, but Lenovo had to make some design sacrifices to trim the price. One of the better aspects is the keyboard, making it one of the better low-cost gaming laptops to actually put your hands on."
