The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 offers a larger screen, slightly better battery life, and enhanced features for gaming such as hardware ray tracing and DLSS. It's particularly well-suited for intensive tasks and gaming, but is heavier, somewhat less portable and usually costs a bit more than the Lenovo Slim Pro 7 14. On the other hand, the Lenovo has a higher resolution display, better portability due to its lighter weight and smaller physical dimensions, and its USB-C ports support Thunderbolt, which allows for faster data transfer and connectivity options. The Lenovo is also slightly more affordable and could be more appropriate for general use, engineering, and 3D/machine learning tasks with a good balance between performance and portability.

"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."

"The Lenovo Slim Pro 7 is an attractive, portable laptop that’s ideal if you need a combination of CPU and GPU performance. It also nails the fundamentals with solid connectivity, an enjoyable keyboard, a large touchpad, and top-notch webcam. Display quality is a weakness, but it’s an acceptable compromise for the laptop’s extremely competitive $1,199 MSRP. The Slim Pro 7 is a versatile, affordable laptop and hard to beat for the price."
