If your main concern is having a high-performance laptop for tasks like 3D modeling, machine learning or gaming, the ASUS Zenbook Pro 16X, while more expensive, offers superior performance for these intensive tasks. However, it is heavier and less portable. On the other hand, the Lenovo V15 is more affordable and may be suitable for general use with decent performance for everyday tasks, offering better portability due to its lighter build. If long battery life is crucial for you, the ASUS might have the edge, but remember, this added performance and battery life come with increased cost and reduced portability compared to the Lenovo V15.

Marc Herter, Alex Wätzel | November 2023
"The new Zenbook Pro 16X is more powerful, quieter and doesn't need to shy away from dedicated workstations and gamers. It is also comparatively compact, and our test device is the best Zenbook that we've reviewed so far. It seems equally suitable for content creators and gamers or anyone looking for a very powerful laptop that is still slim."

Marvin Gollor | April 2022
"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."
