Lenovo Yoga Slim 9i 14" Tidal Teal 2024
ASUS ProArt P16 16" 3K 120Hz Nano Black 2025
Buy the Lenovo if you're a business pro, student, or frequent traveler who values a stunning 4K screen, all-day battery, and a super-light 14-inch chassis that doesn't compromise on build quality.
Buy the ASUS if you're a video editor, 3D artist, or engineer who needs the discrete RTX 5070 GPU's massive performance boost and a larger 16-inch OLED canvas, and can tolerate some fan noise under load.
Key Differences
- Raw power vs. refined portability: The ASUS's AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 CPU scores nearly 1.7x higher (33005 vs 18951) and its RTX 5070 GPU is 5.2x faster (28796 vs 5496), but the Lenovo is far more compact (compact score 92 vs 62).
- Screen trade-off: The Lenovo has a sharper 4K panel (3840px vs 2880px) that's also brighter at 750 nits, but the ASUS offers a larger 16-inch OLED touchscreen, which creators love for color work.
- Real-world quirks: Users adore the Lenovo's build and reliability, while ASUS owners report the performance is fantastic but mention overheating and loud fans during intensive tasks.
- Use-case scores tell the story: For gaming and creator work, the ASUS dominates (88 vs 25 and 96 vs 44). For business, student, and general use, the Lenovo is the clear choice (91 vs 78 and 93 vs 79).
- Storage and memory oddity: The ASUS gives you a bigger 2TB SSD, but the Lenovo's integrated Arc graphics oddly has more dedicated VRAM (16GB vs 8GB), which is unusual for an iGPU.
