The Lenovo Legion 7 and ASUS TUF Gaming F15 are both good for general use.
The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 is great for general use with its Intel i7 processor, 16GB of RAM for efficient multitasking, and a quality IPS screen with high contrast and good color coverage, but its lesser portability, heavier weight, and average battery life might not suit highly mobile users. On the other hand, the Lenovo Legion 7, which also features 16GB of RAM and a sharp, bright IPS screen that overshadows the F15 in terms of higher resolution and color accuracy, offers a balance between power with its Ryzen 7 processor and portability, albeit with a slightly heavier frame but better battery life than the F15.

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."

"The Lenovo Legion 7 is a fast 16-inch gamer with 165 Hz display. The new Lenovo Legion 7 is a very good gaming notebook that, despite its comparatively compact compact 16-inch case, does not have to do without the most powerful components. Thanks to good cooling, no compromises are made in terms of performance. Both the Core i9-12900HX and the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti perform at a very high level."
