Pros and Cons

Asus Vivobook Pro 16X 3D OLED

Strengths

A 3K OLED display that is one of the best displays on a laptop period
Powerful Intel Core HX CPU and up to NVIDIA RTX 470 graphics for gaming and content creation
Long battery life of around 5 hours, even with the powerful CPU and GPU
Durable and tough build despite being made of plastic
Wide range of ports including Thunderbolt, USB Type-C, SD card reader, and Ethernet
Perfect display contrast with up to 650 nits of brightness and HDR 10bit support
Good keyboard and trackpad performance, with a full-size SD card slot

Weaknesses

Battery life could be better, especially when using the dedicated GPU
The build feels plasticky and not as premium as some other laptops
No option to upgrade the battery, which is a concern for long-term use
The trackpad is centered on the left side, which may not suit everyone's preference
The laptop can get quite hot when running demanding tasks
The power brick is large and heavy, but it's necessary for the powerful components
The price might be a bit high compared to other laptops with similar specs

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 5

Strengths

The X1 extreme is one of my favorite thinkpads because I feel it's the right combination of performance, battery, and portability.
It's not too big to carry around in your bag while providing the performance you need for Creative work or any other professional tasks that require a powerful GPU and CPU.
The design is your typical ThinkPad in black with red accents, and the body is made of magnesium and carbon fiber which are light and durable materials.
The display is great for Creative work indoors and Outdoors, it's bright, great contrast, and color, no complaints here.
I can comfortably type on the keyboard every day, it has great key travel spacing and layout.
The speakers sound great, they're tuned by Dolby Atmos and you can play with the audio settings from the Lenovo Vantage app.
It's very easy to upgrade the RAM, there are seven screws at the bottom which you don't need to worry about losing.

Weaknesses

This laptop attracts fingerprints especially around the Palm rest area so having a microfiber cloth nearby helps.
The X-rite color assistant pre-installed crashes after looking around Reddit and support forums, it's supposed to help calibrate the display and let you easily switch color profiles.
Sometimes the fan noise is noticeable when using Microsoft teams or watching YouTube videos.
I'm not a big gamer but playing Call of Duty Warzone with the GPU that came with this review unit had an average experience.
The battery life is around 5 hours which is fine, it can go up or down depending on the type of usage that day.
The charger is a little big so it'll take up a lot of space in your bag
I'm not a fan of USB type A ports, I'd rather replace these with more USBC ports.
