If you prioritize gaming or high-performance tasks and don't mind spending extra, the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 provides powerful hardware in a compact form, though at the expense of a higher price and potentially shorter battery life. On the other hand, the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 offers a larger screen and may have better battery efficiency at a more affordable price, making it suitable for users who need a balance between performance, screen real estate, and value. However, it might be less powerful and not as easy to carry as the ASUS. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" is very good for gaming and AI, while the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2024) is good.
The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 with its high-end GPU and rapid screen refresh rate delivers exceptional gaming and 3D performance, but the Lenovo Legion Slim 7, also with a robust GPU and similar refresh rate, offers additional screen size and quality enhancements that edge out the Zephyrus for those prioritizing a more immersive visual experience alongside gaming capabilities. While both have powerful CPUs, the Legion's slight edge in screen quality may justify a preference for users valuing a blend of performance and visual fidelity.

"The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 offers an impressive package. Asus improves the performance of the new 2023 ROG Zephyrus G14 considerable and offers a very powerful 14-inch notebook with plenty of performance for gamers and content creators. The high-quality chassis is unchanged from last year, but is now equipped with the latest and greatest from AMD as well as Nvidia. The Mini-LED panel also puts up a convincing performance in pretty much every regard, even though the MacBook Pro 14 still offers superior brightness values. The panel works extremely well for gaming and the included color profiles offer very accurate colors."

"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."
