The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 offers robust performance for intensive gaming and engineering tasks, with higher performance graphics, making it suitable for demanding applications, but it's heavier and has a shorter battery life. The Lenovo Slim Pro 7 14 is more portable, with a lighter design and longer battery life, ideal for general use and travel; it features a high-resolution touchscreen, and better screen colors, but it's less suited for high-end gaming or heavy engineering software due to its graphics capabilities. Both laptops have similar prices, storage, and RAM, so the decision hinges on whether you prioritize performance in gaming/engineering or portability and screen quality for everyday tasks.

The Lenovo Slim Pro 7 14 has a better screen than the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 for general use, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
For general use, the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 offers a satisfactory display with its resolution and brightness, making everyday activities like browsing and video streaming enjoyable, while the Lenovo Slim Pro 7 excels with a sharp display and high brightness that enhances visibility and clarity. Engineers and designers would benefit from the Lenovo's wide color gamut, presenting colors more accurately for tasks like photo editing or CAD work, although the ASUS provides a fair experience. However, for 3D work and gaming, the ASUS falls short with a lower refresh rate that might not keep up with fast-paced visuals, whereas the Lenovo also lacks in this area, with both screens not optimizing the smoothness and responsiveness required for high-end gaming.

How the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 and the Lenovo Slim Pro 7 14 compare to other laptops
"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 Slim Pro 7 is an attractive, portable laptop that’s ideal if you need a combination of CPU and GPU performance. It also nails the fundamentals with solid connectivity, an enjoyable keyboard, a large touchpad, and top-notch webcam. Display quality is a weakness, but it’s an acceptable compromise for the laptop’s extremely competitive $1,199 MSRP. The Slim Pro 7 is a versatile, affordable laptop and hard to beat for the price."
