The Lenovo LOQ 16 has a better screen than the ASUS R410MA for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The ASUS R410MA has a display that lacks in clarity and vividness, making it less suitable for tasks that benefit from sharper resolution and more vibrant colors, such as engineering and design work, as well as less enjoyable for general use. The Lenovo LOQ 16 excels in providing a crisp and color-accurate screen for general activities and professional design applications, offering a wide color range that supports nuanced visual work. However, for 3D rendering and gaming, the Lenovo's lower refresh rate may not provide as smooth an experience as desired, which could hinder fast-paced interactive content.

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."

"Gaming laptops with an RTX 4060 are available starting from about 1,000 Euros (~$1,060), even in 16-inch format. For the supposedly affordable Lenovo LOQ 16 (1,500 Euros, ~$1,591), the manufacturer particularly saves in the equipment and materials compared to the more expensive Legion series. In addition, the LOQ is slightly heavier and more bulky. What remains is anything but a laptop full of difficult compromises. Instead, this is a more than solid gaming laptop that focusses on the 3D performance.Q is slightly heavier and more bulky."
