If you want a laptop that is budget-friendly and suitable for basic tasks like internet browsing and document editing, the ASUS R410MA is a compelling option; however, expect limitations such as a lower-resolution screen and modest performance due to its Intel Celeron processor and 4GB RAM. On the other hand, the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" is significantly more expensive but offers powerful performance with its AMD Ryzen 7 processor and 16GB RAM, making it ideal for intensive tasks like 3D rendering, machine learning, and gaming, thanks to the Nvidia RTX 4060 graphics card. It also has a higher-resolution IPS screen, but it is less portable due to its larger size and weight. Give Feedback

PCMag
Matthew Buzzi | August 2021
"The Asus Laptop L410 is a super-affordable PC, even among budget notebooks, compromising on the display and processing power to deliver a serviceable Windows machine with good battery life and useful ports. The build is reasonably solid, there’s a good mix of ports, battery life is long enough, and it can perform basic everyday tasks. On the flip side, the screen is poor, anything other than basic tasks is a tough ask, and it has little memory and even less storage."

"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."
