For a balance of performance and price, the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 is a solid choice, offering a powerful Intel i7 processor and Nvidia RTX 4070 graphics, making it suitable for gaming and engineering tasks. Its 144Hz refresh rate and 16:9 aspect ratio are great for fast-paced games, though the color accuracy is more average. It's also bulkier and has a shorter battery life compared to the Lenovo. On the other hand, the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i, while pricier, provides a more premium experience with its high-resolution Mini LED display, superior color coverage, and touchscreen capabilities, which is ideal for creative work and general use. It's more compact, has a longer battery life, and offers a better keyboard and webcam. However, its Nvidia RTX 4050 GPU is less powerful than the ASUS', making it less suitable for intensive gaming or machine learning tasks. Consider the ASUS for performance-heavy tasks and gaming, but if portability, battery life, and display quality are your priorities, the Lenovo is the way to go. Give Feedback

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."
