Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 15.3" Touch Laptop vs ASUS Vivobook S16 OLED

The Vivobook S16 OLED is the better machine for most people: a 16-inch OLED panel at 120Hz, an Intel Core Ultra 7, and a chassis around 3.7 lb. The IdeaPad Slim 3i is the simpler, cheaper-feeling 15.3-inch touchscreen laptop, and its AMD Ryzen 7 with 16GB and 512GB is fine for everyday work. Reviewers praise the Vivobook's screen and portability; owners of the IdeaPad line like the value and the touchscreen but note the modest 1MP webcam and average speakers.

• Choose the IdeaPad Slim 3i if you want a touchscreen for note-taking and casual browsing and prefer a familiar Windows laptop with a privacy shutter on the camera.
• Choose the Vivobook S16 if screen quality matters most: the OLED panel, 120Hz refresh and Core Ultra 7 make it the stronger pick for media, design work and multitasking.
