The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED is less expensive with a high-resolution OLED touchscreen, making it suited for general use with good color accuracy and portability. It has moderate processing power with its Intel i5 processor and onboard graphics, which is fine for routine tasks and light media work. In contrast, the Lenovo Legion 7 is more expensive and offers powerful performance with its AMD Ryzen 7 processor and Nvidia RTX 3070 graphics, ideal for 3D rendering, machine learning, gaming, and engineering tasks. It's heavier and less portable than the Zenbook but provides a larger screen and better gaming capabilities. Both laptops offer similar battery life, but the Legion has more RAM and storage, enhancing its multitasking and data-heavy workloads capacity. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Legion 7 is good for gaming and AI, while the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED is only fair.
The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED, with its Intel Iris Xe graphics, may not perform as well in gaming and 3D tasks as the Lenovo Legion 7, which is equipped with a more powerful Nvidia RTX 3070 GPU and a higher screen refresh rate. While the Zenbook offers a quality OLED display, the Legion 7's combination of a robust GPU and a refresh rate advantageous for fast-paced gaming accounts for its superior suitability for gaming and 3D applications.

The Lenovo Legion 7 is very good for engineering and design, while the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED is good.
The Lenovo Legion 7 is considered very good for engineering and design use primarily because it is equipped with a stronger AMD Ryzen processor, double the RAM, and a high-performance Nvidia RTX GPU compared to the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED, which, although featuring a capable Intel i5 processor and an integrated Iris Xe GPU, has less RAM and a less powerful GPU, consequently offering less raw computing power suitable for demanding tasks. Despite the ASUS having an OLED screen for superior color quality, the Lenovo's larger screen and high refresh rate, along with better keyboard and cooling systems, make it a preferable choice for intensive workflows; however, the tradeoff comes in the form of less portability and higher weight.

The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED has a better screen than the Lenovo Legion 7 for general use, and engineering and design, while the Lenovo Legion 7 has a better screen for gaming and AI, and software development.
The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED boasts an OLED display, ensuring vibrant colors and deep blacks for general use and engineering tasks, but its lower refresh rate isn't ideal for fast-paced gaming or 3D applications where motion clarity is key. The Lenovo Legion 7, while offering a high-quality display for everyday tasks and creative work with accurate color representation for design software, might also fall short for gaming due to a less optimal refresh rate. Both laptops likely offer high resolution and brightness, making them suitable for general activities and professional design, but may not satisfy users seeking the smoothest visuals in gaming and 3D modeling.

Matthew Buzzi | September 2023
"While one of the more budget-friendly configurations of the Asus Zenbook 14X OLED may make a compelling case as a top value pick, it’s difficult to be disappointed with the more expensive model we reviewed here. At its core, for all models, it’s a luxury-built laptop with extreme portability and a gorgeous OLED display. Our unit rocks with a snappy Core i9 processor for getting real work done, and the discrete GPU—even if it has a clear power ceiling—is a bonus for creative pros."

"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."
