The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is very good for general use, while the ASUS ROG Strix G15 is good.
The Lenovo Legion 7i Pro offers double the RAM and a significantly higher-resolution display compared to the ASUS ROG Strix G15, which can substantially improve multitasking and visual clarity for general use. However, the heavier weight and lower portability score of the Legion 7i Pro may make the ASUS ROG Strix G15 more appealing for those who prioritize portability and do not require the highest-end CPU and GPU available in the Legion.

The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is excellent for engineering and design, while the ASUS ROG Strix G15 is good.
The Lenovo Legion 7i Pro is considered excellent for engineering and design because it comes with more RAM, a higher-end CPU and GPU, and superior screen quality than the ASUS ROG Strix G15, which improves overall performance for demanding tasks. Although the Strix G15 is lighter and slightly more portable, the Legion 7i Pro's notable advantages in hardware specifications and screen quality make it better suited for intensive engineering and design work, while sacrificing some portability due to higher weight.

The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i has a better screen than the ASUS ROG Strix G15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The ASUS ROG Strix G15, with solid resolution and brightness, offers a pleasing display for general tasks and is color-accurate enough for most engineering and design work, yet it lacks the high refresh rate desired for the smoothest gaming and 3D rendering experiences. The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i stands out with its superior color coverage vital for professional design work and its crisp image quality enhances everyday use, but just like the ASUS, it falls short for gaming and 3D with a refresh rate less ideal for extremely fluid visuals. Both laptops, while excellent for daily activities and creative professions, won't satisfy gamers or 3D developers looking for the highest level of motion clarity and responsiveness.

"The ASUS ROG Strix G15 is a successful high-performance 15-inch laptop. The Asus ROG Strix impresses with an elaborate design and fast hardware. The latter can unleash its potential well in the large 15-inch case and achieve a decent performance boost compared to the previous generation. Especially the stunning 300 Hz display as well as the RTX 3070 and its generous TDP give gamers their money's worth. Asus didn't neglect seemingly small details, either, such as the keyboard and the maintenance options. The ROG Strix G15 offers a lot of pure performance and excellent workmanship in a 15-inch format, but connectivity leaves something to be desired."
"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."
