Choosing between the ASUS Zenbook Pro 17 and Lenovo V15 depends on what you value most. If high performance is crucial, especially for demanding tasks like 3D modeling, gaming, or advanced computations, the Zenbook Pro 17 with its powerful processor and dedicated graphics card stands out. However, its higher price tag and less portability due to its larger size must be considered. On the other hand, the Lenovo V15 is more budget-friendly and lighter, making it suitable for general use and easier to carry around. It has adequate power for everyday tasks but may struggle with intensive software. Additionally, its battery life and display might be less impressive compared to the premium Zenbook Pro 17. You need to weigh whether the performance and premium features of the Zenbook are worth the added cost and weight for your specific needs. Give Feedback

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."
