ASUS Zenbook S 14 (2024) vs LG Gram SuperSlim
The Verdict
ASUS Zenbook S 14 delivers superior value with its sharper 3K OLED display (2880x1800 vs 1920x1080), faster 120Hz refresh rate, and double the storage at 1TB. Its Intel Core Ultra 7 258V prioritizes efficiency for longer claimed battery life (14 hours vs 12 hours), though real-world differences may be minimal. LG Gram SuperSlim counters with a larger 15.6" screen, slightly lighter chassis (0.99kg vs 1.20kg), and a more powerful Core Ultra 7 155H featuring 16 cores ideal for demanding workloads. However, the Gram's 512GB storage feels limiting at this price point, and its 1080p resolution looks pedestrian compared to the Zenbook's crisp 3K panel. Port selection favors LG with dual Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C, while ASUS offers traditional USB-A alongside Thunderbolt 4. Budget-conscious buyers prioritizing screen quality and storage should choose the Zenbook; those needing raw processing power and portability may justify the LG's premium.
