The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 has a better screen than the Lenovo V15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
For general use, a laptop like the ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 is favored due to its high-resolution display and bright panel, providing sharp and vivid imagery, while the Lenovo V15's lower resolution and dimmer screen may result in a less satisfying experience. In engineering and design, accurate color representation is key; the Zenbook Pro 15's wider color gamuts ensure precise hues critical for professional work, unlike the Lenovo V15, which falls short in color accuracy. Meanwhile, for gaming and 3D applications, the Zenbook's lower refresh rate hinders fluid motion playback, which is less of an issue for the Lenovo V15 but is still outpaced by models with higher refresh rates.

"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 strengths of the Lenovo V15 G2 AMD lie in its expandability of the RAM and allowing you to use two SSDs, in its performance that goes beyond everyday applications thanks to AMD's hexa-core CPU and Vega-7 iGPU, in its good keyboard, and its relatively robust case. In addition, the battery life of the office laptop is also acceptable, and the device stays cool and relatively quiet."
