If you prioritize portability and touch capabilities, the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 offers a compact, lightweight design with a touchscreen, which is great for on-the-go use and creative tasks. However, for high-performance needs like intensive engineering, 3D rendering, or machine learning, the Lenovo Legion 7i Pro, which has more RAM, a more powerful GPU, and a larger screen, might serve you better; keep in mind, though, it's heavier and slightly less portable. Both have similar storage and high-quality displays, but you'll have longer battery life with the ASUS and better color coverage with the Lenovo, depending on your color accuracy needs. If budget is less of a concern, the additional performance of the Lenovo could be valuable, otherwise, the ASUS offers a balance of portability and capability at a somewhat lower price.

Andreas Osthoff | March 2022
"The Asus ROG Flow Z13 is a gaming tablet with powerful Alder Lake i9 CPU. The ROG Flow Z13 impresses with its good cooling. After our review, the impression is predominantly positive. Besides a very fast Alder Lake CPU and stable gaming performance, especially the cooling system is surprisingly effective and quiet. You can use the integrated speakers without any issues while gaming. The 1200p display in the 16:10 format also impresses with good color reproduction and high brightness. Since the battery runtimes aren't particularly long as it is, we wouldn't recommend the optional 4K panel."

"Passionate gamers who want to play demanding modern titles with maximum details and don't mind spending the moolah will find the Lenovo Legion 7 Pro to be the right choice. The bright, sharp, and color-accurate 16:10 QHD 240 Hz display makes for an immersive viewing experience. The hardware is housed in a stylish chassis that feels premium and scores well in terms of workmanship and stability. Other aspects such as sound quality, input devices, and connectivity also seem to be near-perfect."
