The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is very good for general use, while the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED is good.
The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED is great for general use due to its lightweight, portability, and high-quality OLED touchscreen display, making it easy to carry with clear and vibrant visuals, though it has less RAM and a less powerful CPU than the Lenovo Legion 7i Pro, which is also very good for general use because it has a high-performance CPU, more RAM, and exceptional keyboard quality, but it's heavier and has shorter battery life, meaning it may be less convenient for on-the-go use.

The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED has a better screen than the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i for general use, and engineering and design, while the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i has a better screen for gaming and AI, content creation, and software development.
If you're focused on general tasks like browsing or watching videos, the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED and Lenovo Legion Pro 7i both offer high-resolution displays with excellent brightness and clarity, providing a crisp and vibrant experience. For engineering and design, where color accuracy is vital, both laptops present wide color gamuts ensuring that the colors in your projects are represented precisely and consistently. However, for gaming and 3D applications that demand fluid motion, neither laptop is ideal since they lack high refresh rates, which can lead to less smooth visuals during fast-paced scenes.

"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."
"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."
