The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 is better suited for general use and tasks that benefit from a high-quality display, like photo editing, thanks to its OLED screen and better color accuracy. However, it might not perform as well in gaming or intensive 3D tasks due to the lack of a dedicated gaming GPU. On the other hand, the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 is tailored more towards gaming and demanding software due to its gaming-grade GPU, but it's heavier and not as portable as the ASUS. If you prefer a laptop for multimedia and everyday tasks, go with the ASUS, but choose the Lenovo if you're focused on gaming and engineering software. Give Feedback

Marc Herter | July 2022
"The Asus Vivobook Pro 14 OLED is a Pantone Validated laptop that packs a lot of processing power. The Asus VivoBook Pro 14 OLED's highlight is its outstanding display: Featuring a 3K resolution in the 16:10 format and nearly a 100% coverage of the Display P3 color space, the display hardly leaves anything to be desired. The Asus laptop also shows impeccable rates in terms of general system performance. Combined with long battery life, low noise emissions, and relatively good speakers, the laptop can be recommended to users who can accept compromises in terms of connectivity."

Florian Glaser | October 2022
"The Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 is one of the most powerful RTX 3050 Ti laptops. If you disregard the mediocre quality of the case in terms of the material and workmanship, Lenovo has created a successful budget gaming laptop with the IdeaPad Gaming. Thanks to high TDPs and constant performance development, the Core i5-12500H and GeForce RTX 3050 Ti are able to show their full power, while in contrast, the (mostly slower) competitors deliver a better battery life. However, hardly any of the alternative laptops are able to reach the image quality of the Gaming 3. Most of the competitors are left behind in terms of the color space and brightness."
