The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 provides more storage and a stronger graphics card, which is advantageous for intensive gaming and graphically demanding tasks. However, it is slightly heavier and has a shorter battery life compared to the Lenovo Legion Slim 7. The Legion Slim 7, on the other hand, is lighter making it more portable and offers an extended battery life, which can be appealing for those who need to use their laptop on the go. Both are similarly priced and offer good build quality, keyboard experience, and ample port processing options, but if battery life and portability are more important to you, consider the Lenovo. If gaming and performance are your priority, the ASUS might be the better option. Give Feedback

The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 offers a potent mix of a high-performance CPU and RAM, good screen quality, and adequate portability for general use, but its battery life is shorter compared to the Lenovo Legion Slim 7, which also provides solid CPU and RAM capabilities along with a superior screen and lengthier battery life, making it an excellent option for those needing longer unplugged performance.

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 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."
