The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i has a better screen than the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 14, with its average screen brightness, resolution, and panel type, holds up decently for tasks like browsing the web and editing documents, which is why it's adequate for general use, but the same screen specifications fall short for color-intensive tasks like engineering and design, and the refresh rate not being high enough hampers the 3D gaming experience. The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i, with higher screen brightness and resolution, along with a superior panel type, offers vibrant and clear visuals for everyday tasks and professional design work, making it an attractive option for general use and design, but the lack of a high refresh rate means it's not ideal for fast-paced gaming where smooth motion is crucial. The contrast in screen capabilities means the ASUS is a basic, budget-friendly option for casual use, while the Lenovo is more suited for professionals who require precise color representation but gamers should look elsewhere for the best 3D performance.

"The lack of a backlit keyboard in this price segment shouldn't sway the buyer the other way. However, it still comes down to user preference. The Vivobook Go 14 is a decent laptop in an extremely competitive price segment. A few omissions are a part of the balancing to reach the price segment. The Asus Vivobook Go 14 is a rare find when it comes to the price to performance ratio."
"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."
