The Eluktronics RP-15 generally costs less and could be considered if budget is a concern; it's also slightly more portable due to its lighter weight, making it a feasible choice for casual use and general portability. However, the Lenovo Legion 7i Pro, despite being pricier and heavier, offers higher performance capabilities with its better processor and more powerful graphics card, alongside more storage and memory. This makes it more suitable for demanding tasks like gaming, 3D rendering or machine learning, and engineering software. Additionally, the Lenovo has a higher resolution display and better battery life, which might be beneficial for longer sessions of intensive work or gaming. In the end, the choice comes down to a balance between cost, performance needs, and portability preferences. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is very good for general use, while the Eluktronics RP-15 is good.
The Eluktronics RP-15, while sufficient for general tasks with its mid-range CPU, ample RAM, and decent screen quality, has less portability and shorter battery life when compared to the Lenovo Legion 7i Pro, which excels with a high-end CPU, double the RAM, and a brighter, higher-quality screen, along with a larger battery .

Eber Anthony | October 2020
"To conclude, I’m genuinely impressed with Eluktronics and what they have been able to deliver with the RP-15. You see this is all about maximizing performance, cooling, and giving users the most flexible I/O, and then wrapping it into a chassis that doesn’t feel super cheap. Let’s also not forget the price point, I think they have really nailed it in that department."

"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."
