now, Currys has exactly that. The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Aura Edition is 599 (was 899) , and the Asus Vivobook S16 OLED is also 599 (was 999) .

Both are Copilot+ PCs, both have Intel Core Ultra 5 processors and OLED displays, and both are solid everyday laptops. The question is which one
suits you.

The short answer: if you want something slim, ultraportable, and built like a premium product go Lenovo . If you want more screen, more storage, and
better battery claims for the same money, go ASUS. Heres the fuller picture. Today's top laptop deals Save 300 Lenovo Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Aura Edition: was 899 now 599 at Currys This is the one to go for if you want something that feels genuinely premium from the moment you pick it up. Its exceptionally
slim and light very easy to carry around all day with a 14-inch Full HD+ OLED screen that covers 100% DCI-P3 and supports Dolby Vision. The Intel Core Ultra 5 226V chip is an efficiency-focused processor that helps push battery life up to 17.5 hours. Quad speakers with Dolby Atmos, a glass touchpad, and X-Rite colour calibration round out a package that punches well above its discounted price. 16GB DDR5 RAM, 512GB SSD, Windows 11. View Deal Save 400 Asus Vivobook S16: was 999 now 599 at Currys This is the kind of laptop that stops you in your tracks the first time you open it. The 16-inch Full HD+
OLED panel is vivid, sharp, and genuinely lovely to look at whether youre editing photos, watching something on iPlayer, or just doing a spreadsheet. Behind that screen you get an Intel Core Ultra 5 225H chip, 16GB of RAM, and
a 1TB SSD, all in a slim silver chassis that weighs 1.7kg. ASUS rates battery life at up to 20 hours, which is more than enough for a full working day away from a plug. Its a Copilot+ PC, so it supports the latest Windows 11 AI features too. View Deal The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Aura Edition The Yoga Slim 7 Aura Edition is Lenovos Copilot+ flagship in this price range, and at 300 off its a significant deal. The Aura Edition designation matters here it refers to Intels Aura certification, which guarantees the laptop meets specific standards for display quality, battery life, and AI performance beyond the basic Copilot+ bar. In practice, what that means is a machine thats been
tuned for the whole experience rather than just hitting a spec sheet target.

The 14-inch OLED panel covers 100% DCI-P3 one of the most comprehensive colour gamut coverages youll find at this price with DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification and Eyesafe low blue light certification. For creative professionals who need colour accuracy, photographers editing on the go, or anyone who watches a lot of video, the difference between this display and a standard IPS panel is immediately visible.

The Core Ultra 5 226V is the efficiency-first chip in Intels Arrow Lake line its not the raw performance leader, but its genuinely well-suited to the kind of sustained, all-day use this laptop is designed for. The result is up to 17.5 hours of rated battery life, and in real-world mixed use that should translate comfortably to a full working day. The quad-speaker setup with
Smart Amplifier and Dolby Atmos is noticeably better than most laptops at
this price too actually pleasant to listen to without headphones.

The main trade-off is storage: 512GB SSD is adequate for most users but tighter than the Asus laptop's 1TB. If you store large video projects, photo libraries, or a lot of installed software locally, you may find yourself managing space more actively. External storage is the easy workaround, but
its worth knowing going in. Asus Vivobook S16 The Asus Vivobook S16 OLED
makes a slightly different set of compromises. Where the Lenovo prioritises refinement and portability, the ASUS goes for space and performance. The 16-inch screen is genuinely more comfortable for extended work sessions, multitasking with multiple windows, or watching content its the kind of size difference you actually feel every day.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 225H is a higher-performance H-series chip (versus the V-series in the Lenovo) it has more cores and runs faster under sustained workloads, which shows up in video editing, compiling, and anything CPU-intensive. If your work pushes the processor hard, the ASUS has the edge here. The 1TB SSD at 599 is also notably generous youre getting twice the storage of the Lenovo at the same price.

The build quality and premium feel of the ASUS doesnt quite match the Lenovos
at this price point, you can feel that the Yoga Slim 7 is a more carefully crafted machine. But if youre buying for productivity and screen real estate rather than the feel of the product itself, the ASUS makes a compelling case. Which laptop deal should you choose? Go for the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Aura Edition if: you carry your laptop everywhere, you want the most premium feel for the money, colour accuracy matters for creative work, or you prioritise all-day battery life. The 300 discount is also a more dramatic deal this is
a laptop that genuinely feels like it should cost more than 599.

Go for the ASUS Vivobook S16 OLED if: you spend most of your time at a desk, you want a bigger screen, you need more storage without buying an external drive, or your work is processor-intensive. The 1TB SSD and larger display
are real everyday advantages at this price.

Either way, youre getting an OLED screen and a Copilot+ PC for 599 which would have been a very different conversation just a couple of years ago. Check out more options in our guide to the best business laptops . See all laptops at Currys
