For a balance of performance and price, the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 is a solid choice, offering a high-performance Intel i7 processor and a powerful Nvidia RTX 4070 GPU, making it suitable for gaming and engineering tasks. Its 144Hz refresh rate and 16:9 aspect ratio are great for gaming, and it's also more portable due to its smaller size and longer battery life. However, if you prioritize superior display quality, a more advanced CPU, and don't mind a slightly higher price, the Lenovo Legion 5 16 (2024) with its higher resolution 2560 x 1600 screen, 16:10 aspect ratio, and 240Hz refresh rate could be the better option, especially for more visually demanding tasks. It also comes with more RAM, which is beneficial for multitasking and intensive applications. Keep in mind that the Legion 5 is less portable and has a shorter battery life, which might be a drawback if you need to work on the go. Give Feedback

Allen Ngo | March 2022
"Aside from all the chassis updates, the new TUF Gaming is most notable for its much higher TGP target of 140 W compared to only 95 W on the previous generation. PC makers everywhere are using the same GeForce GPUs this year since Nvidia has yet to launch the successor to the mobile RTX 3000 series. The more demanding processors of the new TUF Gaming has directly impacted battery life and the size of the AC adapter. Don't expect runtimes to be longer than on the previous generation under most conditions and be prepared to carry around an even larger AC adapter than before."
