Dear Community,
I am trying to replace my MacBook Pro 14 M1 Pro with a Windows Laptop, since I do need specific Windows Software, that cannot run through Parallels. Workload is Photo- and Video Editing and light Gaming on the side.
Tossup is between the Zenbook Pro 14 from Asus and the Yoga Pro 9i 14 from Lenovo.
There is very little between the two devices, but the Asus is much more expensive. Build quality with the Lenovo is supposedly a bit better and no PWM-flickering. Also I could order the Yoga 9i without a SSD as I am planning to use my existing 2 TB Samsung 970 EVO anyway, which would bring the price down to 2.085,12 EUR - so it actually looks like a no-brainer now to me? I've tried to highlight any differences in bold.
Thanks for any insight!
