The ASUS ROG Strix G15 offers high general use and engineering performance, making it a solid choice for gaming and engineering tasks. However, it's heavier and has shorter battery life, which hinders its portability. The Lenovo Slim Pro 7 14 is more portable, has a longer battery life, higher screen resolution with touchscreen, and better color accuracy, which is ideal for creative professionals. Both are similarly priced, but prioritize different features; the ASUS is gaming and performance-oriented, while the Lenovo emphasizes portability, battery life, and a better display. Choose based on whether performance or portability and screen quality are more important for your needs. Give Feedback

How the ASUS ROG Strix G15 and the Lenovo Slim Pro 7 14 compare to other laptops
"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."
"The Lenovo Slim Pro 7 is an attractive, portable laptop that’s ideal if you need a combination of CPU and GPU performance. It also nails the fundamentals with solid connectivity, an enjoyable keyboard, a large touchpad, and top-notch webcam. Display quality is a weakness, but it’s an acceptable compromise for the laptop’s extremely competitive $1,199 MSRP. The Slim Pro 7 is a versatile, affordable laptop and hard to beat for the price."
