If you prioritize a larger screen and a budget-friendly option for everyday use like web browsing and light productivity tasks, the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 is suitable with its efficient usability and low price.

While both have reasonable battery lives, the Legion's higher performance capabilities mean its battery may drain faster, especially under heavy usage. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Legion 7 has a better screen than the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 15's screen may not deliver the sharpness, brightness, and vibrant colors needed for enjoyable everyday activities, detailed engineering work, or immersive gaming experiences, mainly due to its lower resolution and lesser quality panel. On the other hand, the Lenovo Legion 7 likely offers a crisp and bright display with a wide color range that benefits general tasks and design applications, enhancing visual precision and color accuracy critical for professional creative work. However, despite its high-quality display for static images, the Legion 7's screen may fall short for gaming and 3D applications that demand high refresh rates, affecting the smoothness of fast-moving visuals.

Andreas Osthoff | September 2022
"The Lenovo Legion 7 is a fast 16-inch gamer with 165 Hz display. The new Lenovo Legion 7 is a very good gaming notebook that, despite its comparatively compact compact 16-inch case, does not have to do without the most powerful components. Thanks to good cooling, no compromises are made in terms of performance. Both the Core i9-12900HX and the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti perform at a very high level."
