The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i has a better screen than the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 offers a balance between resolution and brightness suitable for everyday tasks, but the color gamut might be limited for professional design work and the refresh rate isn't ideal for the smooth visuals demanded by high-end gaming or 3D applications. On the other hand, the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i provides superior brightness and a wider color range, making it great for engineering and design, yet still falls short in refresh rate, which is crucial for a seamless gaming and 3D experience. Thus, the ASUS is a cost-effective choice for casual use, while the Lenovo excels in tasks requiring accurate color representation but isn't the best fit for fast-paced gaming environments.

"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."
"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."
