The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is very good for general use, while the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 is good.
The Lenovo Legion 7i Pro outperforms the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 for general use due to its superior CPU, more memory, and a significantly larger storage capacity, which translate to faster performance and better multitasking capabilities. However, it is less portable due to its heavier weight and lower portability score, and the battery life won't last as long as the ASUS, which is lighter and rated higher in portability and battery life, making it easier to carry around and use on the go.

The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is excellent for gaming and AI, while the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 is only fair.
The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 offers fair performance in gaming and 3D due to its less powerful integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics and a modest refresh rate of 90Hz, making it less suitable for high-intensity gaming where fluid motion and rapid graphics rendering are critical. In contrast, the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i excels with its powerful Nvidia RTX 4080 dedicated GPU and much higher screen refresh rate of 240Hz, which are crucial for a superior and more immersive gaming experience, especially in fast-paced games.

The Asus laptop also shows impeccable rates in terms of general system performance. Combined with long battery life, low noise emissions, and relatively good speakers, the laptop can be recommended to users who can accept compromises in terms of connectivity."
