Recently, the Core Ultra platform ushered in two heavyweights, they are the Lenovo Thinkbook 16+ and the ASUS Vivobook Pro 15, they all have a large field of view, and armed with RTX 4060 independent graphics, which can unleash stronger productivity and gaming power between square inches. So, which of these two new products is more suitable for you?
First of all, you need to recognize one thing,The independent display all-round book is still an all-round book,Although they have a hardware configuration similar to the game book,But there is a significant difference in the power consumption release level,And it will produce a huge premium because of the pursuit of slim design,The game experience is definitely not as good as the price of the game book。
Their core competitiveness is that they have a weight of less than 2kg and a longer battery life while providing the success of the same game book 8 9, which is suitable for creators and game-loving students who are facing commuting and business trips.
Returning to the two protagonists of this issue, the ThinkBook 16+ and the Vivobook Pro 15 are relatively affordable among the independent graphics all-round laptops, and on top of them, there are also the ROG Magic 16 and MSI Jedi 16 AI, which are positioned at a higher level.
Among them, the ACD side of the Thinkbook 16+ is made of metal, the contrast A-side is highly recognizable, the workmanship is more exquisite, and the thinnest part of the fuselage is about 169mm and stuffed into a larger 85wh battery, just 1The weight of 95kg is not too light.
Vivobook Pro 15 is A-side metal, canceling the logo nameplate of the predecessor's characteristics, and the thickness of the whole machine is about 195mm, as light as 18kg, not losing a lot of the same size of the nuclear display thin and light book.
The biggest difference between the two products is mainly reflected in the screen ratio and material. The Thinkbook 16+ is 2A 5K IPS panel with a 16:10** display ratio allows for a more immersive vision.
Vivobook Pro 15 is a better color performance 2The 8K OLED panel has better color gamut coverage, color accuracy and brightness, but there is a slightly wider chin in the 16:9 ratio.
In terms of interfaces, the ThinkBook 16+ offers an SD card reader, 2 USB-A32 Gen1, hidden USB20, full-featured USB-C 32 Gen2, Thunderbolt 4, HDMI21. RJ45, OCULINK, audio interface, power jack. 3A2C, there is also an OCULINK interface that can be directly connected to the CPU, the latter can reduce the power loss when connected to an external graphics card docking station, and it is considered the top level in the notebook in terms of connection capacity.
The Vivobook Pro 15 comes with an SD card reader and two USB-A3 ports2 Gen1, full-featured Thunderbolt 4, full-featured USB-C32 gen2，hdmi2.1. RJ45, audio and power jack. 2a2c, slightly inferior to the opponent.
But this product has done a better job in the interactive experience, using a contrasting ergonomic backlit keyboard, which can automatically turn on or off with ambient light, equipped with a large touchpad, and also integrates the dialpad ASUS knob in the upper left corner, which can be compatible with a variety of creative office software, a variety of parameters are controlled by one hand, a variety of brush fingertip adjustments, layers, timelines and other functions are precisely controlled, which can make the creative workflow more smooth and natural.
Both products are equipped with a 1080P anti-camera as standard and support face recognition function, which has a good meeting experience and great security performance.
In terms of hardware configuration, the Vivobook Pro 15 2024 debuts with only 1 configuration, with a Core Ultra 9 185H processor, 16GB of RAM on board, and 1TB PCIe 4A combination of 0 SSD and RTX 4060 GPU. Among them, the CPU power consumption is about 65W, the GPU power consumption is 110W, and the luxurious dual-fan five-heat pipe cooling system is adopted, and the dual-baking power consumption is 125W. Inside the machine, 1 memory slot is reserved, 2 x 2280 m2 hard disk bays.
The ThinkBook 16+ debuts with 6 sub-models, of which the closest configuration to the Vivobook Pro 15 is the Core Ultra 5 125H processor, 32GB RAM, and 1TB PCIe 40 SSD and RTX 4060 GPU. The CPU power consumption of this product can reach 80W, and the power consumption of dual fans and dual heat pipes is as high as 130W. The product has 2 built-in memory slots and 2 m.s of 22802 hard disk bays, the expansion capacity has also reached the level of gaming laptops.
Seeing this, I believe you have a preliminary understanding of the two new products. The advantage of the Vivobook Pro 15 2024 is that it has a lighter weight and a more brilliant 28K OLED screen, more powerful Core Ultra 9 185H processor, characteristic ASUS knob design, it is also extremely friendly for content creators, the most important thing is that the initial price of 8499 yuan is also more affordable, the entry threshold is lower, the only pity is the screen ratio.
The features of the ThinkBook 16+ 2024 are that the 16:10 ratio screen is more in line with the trend of the times, with a standard one-step 32GB large memory, ** slot design expansion potential is better, more USB interfaces, a new OcuLink interface that no one else has, and the design of the metal on three sides is also more classy. It's just that the product is only equipped with an Ultra 5 processor as standard, and the initial price has also reached 8999 yuan, and the entry threshold is slightly higher.
Overall, Lenovo Thinkbook 16+ and ASUS Vivobook Pro 15 are both very good machines, and who is more worth buying between them depends on whether you have special requirements for screen material and ratio, processor performance, and the difference in the purchase weight of the OcuLink interface.
