Choosing between the Eluktronics RP-15 and the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" depends on what you prioritize. If you need more on-board storage and a slightly lighter and thinner design for better portability, the Lenovo might be the better choice. It also offers a higher battery life, which could be beneficial if you are often on the move. However, the Eluktronics RP-15 has a higher maximum screen refresh rate, which can be advantageous for fast-paced gaming. Both laptops have similar processing power and graphics performance, making them suitable for general use, 3D rendering, machine learning, and engineering tasks. Both designs don’t shout "gaming laptop," which may be preferable if you're using the laptop in a professional environment. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 has a better screen than the Eluktronics RP-15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The Eluktronics RP-15 and Lenovo Legion Slim 7 both have high-resolution, bright displays with the right panel types that provide crisp and clear visuals for everyday tasks and professional engineering or design work, where color accuracy and range are crucial. However, for gaming and 3D applications, the lower refresh rates on these laptops may not deliver as fluid motion or as immersive an experience as models geared specifically towards these activities. You'll find the vibrant colors and sharpness great for most uses, but when it comes to fast-paced gaming or 3D rendering, they may not keep up with the action as smoothly as others with higher refresh rates.

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."

Benjamin Herzig | November 2022
"The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 is a slim Legion notebook that is just as excellent with Nvidia & Intel. However, the Legion Slim 7i slightly sullied by lacklustre battery life. You get a slim aluminium chassis, great input devices, decent port selection, fast high-quality WQXGA display and great performance. Supporting Thunderbolt 4 is one advantage of the Intel/Nvidia model tested in this review. Moreover, this variant has slightly higher CPU performance as well as better GPU performance in certain applications (e.g. CUDA-based apps). The Lenovo Legion S7i is thin, premium and performant – but less efficient than its AMD counterpart."
