For everyday tasks, the Acer Aspire Go 14 is a cost-effective choice with a comfortable keyboard and good screen quality, though it falls short in gaming and intensive applications due to its less powerful processor and GPU. In contrast, the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 offers superior performance for gaming and demanding software, thanks to its high-end GPU and CPU, but at a higher price point and with a shorter battery life, making it less portable. If performance for gaming or engineering tasks is crucial and you're willing to compromise on portability and budget, the Lenovo is the way to go. However, for general use and better battery life, the Acer is a more practical and affordable option. Give Feedback

Benjamin Herzig | November 2022
"The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 is a slim Legion notebook that is just as excellent with Nvidia & Intel. However, the Legion Slim 7i slightly sullied by lacklustre battery life. You get a slim aluminium chassis, great input devices, decent port selection, fast high-quality WQXGA display and great performance. Supporting Thunderbolt 4 is one advantage of the Intel/Nvidia model tested in this review. Moreover, this variant has slightly higher CPU performance as well as better GPU performance in certain applications (e.g. CUDA-based apps). The Lenovo Legion S7i is thin, premium and performant – but less efficient than its AMD counterpart."
