The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 offers a balance of performance and portability at a midrange price, making it suitable for general use and gaming with its 144Hz display and Nvidia RTX 4070 GPU. It's lighter and slimmer, which is great if you're on the move often. However, its screen resolution is limited to 1080p, which might not be as crisp as the Lenovo's higher resolution display. On the other hand, the Lenovo Legion Pro 5i (2024) is priced slightly higher but comes with an advanced 2560 x 1600 resolution display, a faster refresh rate of 165Hz, and a more powerful Intel i7-14700HX processor, which will benefit tasks like gaming, 3D rendering, and machine learning. It also has a larger screen with a taller 16:10 aspect ratio, providing more vertical space for productivity tasks. The Legion's higher performance comes at the cost of increased weight and slightly reduced battery life, making it less portable than the ASUS. If you prioritize portability and are looking for a versatile laptop that can handle gaming without breaking the bank, the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 is a strong contender. However, if you're seeking top-tier performance for more demanding tasks and can compromise on portability, the Lenovo Legion Pro 5i (2024) would be the better choice, offering a superior display and processing power.

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."

Brian Westover | August 2023
"The midpriced Lenovo Legion Pro 5i Gen 8 follows some of our favorite gaming machines, including last year's model and the higher-end Legion Pro 7i Gen 8 tested earlier this year. But pedigree doesn't count for much in the computer world, and gaming laptops require a certain level of power and graphics performance to justify their prices. The Pro 5i Gen 8 just doesn't do that, offering middling CPU and GPU performance rather than the sort of muscle that would make it a great value."
